I think that the olin college idea isn't bad. Perhaps we can build parts of the playhouses and put them in storage, and when the playhouse is sold, we can assemble the pieces together. <br><br>Still, finding another chapter is probably a better plan.
<br><br>Also, guys, I was wondering what you guys think about having Campus Build on Saturday at 3-6. If we want an earlier time, we can also do Sunday 2-5 or Sunday from 9-12.<br><br>Let me know what you guys think so I can tell the Spring Weekend Committee so that they can do publicity.

I've contacted the Boston Habitat Office, so hopefully we'll here from<br>them. Anne raises a pretty good point of storage. We can either<br>pursue this idea, and figure out storage if that's what we'd like to
<br>do, or maybe try something else, but all that comes to mind is<br>birdhouses, and I don't think that's practical.<br><br>- Bryan<br><br>On 4/18/07, Anne S Yu <<a href="mailto:asy306@mit.edu">asy306@mit.edu</a>
