We were not informed of the cancellation until 2 AM Saturday morning
and<br>
therefore could not cancel the delivery of the supplies. We also
intend to<br>
hold Campus Build this upcoming weekend, when the weather is expected to
be<br>
better. I asked the Spring Weekend committee to assist us in
finding<br>
storage, but never received a response one way or the other. Since
this is<br>
the case, is there any way we can get assistance in moving the wood to
some<br>
sort of storage facility? We have no where to store the wood
ourselves but<br>
feel that we should have been given more warning to this matter.
Perhaps we<br>
can put them in Johnson or some other nearby location where they would
be<br>
more out of the way? <br><br>
If this is impossible, then I guess we'll have to return the wood to
Home<br>
Depot and pay for the delivery/pick-up fees.<br><br>
Sorry for any inconveniences this is causing, <br><br>

Hi Elyse and Habitat for Humanity officers:<br><br>
It seems that Home Depot made its delivery on Saturday to MIT's campus
<br>
despite the fact that the Campus Build event had been cancelled earlier
in <br>
the week due to the weather forecast. It came to my attention this
morning <br>
that there are building materials blocking a sidewalk by Kresge
Auditorium, <br>
and MIT's Facilities Department wanted to know what to do with
them. We <br>
asked them to give us until the end of the day to get in touch with you
so <br>
that your group wouldn't be out money if the supplies could, in fact, be
<br>
returned to Home Depot.<br><br>
The supplies can not stay where they are and we are trying to stay in the
<br>
good graces of Facilities such that they do not decide to charge for the
<br>
removal of the lumber!<br><br>
Please get back to me ASAP with a decision on what you want to do with
the <br>
materials. Will Home Depot take them back at no charge? Can
they be <br>
donated someplace (note: MIT will not deliver them)? Can we just
get rid <br>
of them entirely?<br><br>
thanks so much,<br>
Tracy<br><br>
