How to help visiting sister meet people?

[tealegirle.livejournal.com]

Hey y'all, my boyfriend's 19-year-old sister is living with him this summer taking classes at Tufts, and we're trying to figure out ways to help her meet people--she's supersocial and feeling the lack of a social network.  We're both veryvery busy at work this summer so we're not terribly available, but she'd be up for pretty much anything as far as I can tell.  She's sort of a girly-girl most recently from East Compton in L.A.; I'd guess she's not much on outdoorsy type stuff, but shopping or eating out or live music or dancing or movies or general Boston sight-seeing would be good. She loves animals and kids, and she wants to learn to play chess. I don't know her very well, but that's what I got.  Anyone?  Anyone?  Bueller?

The Boylston Chess Club is right in Davis, and has games all the time. Check out:

http://www.boylstonchessclub.org/index.html

Also, she should check out the players in Harvard Sq; most will play for free and are very nice people. The gentleman with the Chess Master sign is an actual chess master, and will typically throw a bit of a lesson in with the fee for the game. Otherwise, National Master Vadim Martirosov and Internal Master Satea Husari both are well known chess instructors in Boston. If you'd like there contact information just reply to this.
