Hey Elyse,<br>
<br>
It's fine that we have to cancel Campus Build. I understand the
reasoning and it really doesn't make sense to build stuff when there
isn't nothing to be built.<br>
<br>
But now that we dont have Campus Build, I think we should use the void
space to perhaps try out something new...some other major event that
will help people get more involved in habitat. Maybe we could get some material from lowes and hold construction workshops form experienced habitat volunteers. Maybe if other people try doing some of the basics of construction out, they will become interested in going to the help days.
<br><br>If that's too complicated, maybe we could do an information session or something of the kind.<br><br>Let me know what you think,<br><br>Neeharika<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 4/20/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

<div>Ok...so some of us were talking today...and I hate to say it, but I think we should cancel Campus Build. I realize that's not great for Lowe's, but it's bad timing and there's not really anything for us to build and they are being difficult and this event would have to be NEXT week which doesn't leave us time to prepare even if we had things to build.

<div>If anyone is REALLY opposed to this idea...please respond to this e-mail. Sorry to put a damper on all the hard work everyone has done thus far, it's really really appreciated. Just lots of bad timing this year.

<br>of Habitat for Humanity. Campus Build is an annual event where we bring the<br>building to our campus and we have groups of students build wall and window<br>frames. Previously, we have collaborated with Merrimack Valley Habitat on
<br>this project, but this year, they are in between projects and do not have<br>anything for us to build yet because they don't have architect plans. I am<br>writing in order to inquire as to whether there is anything that we could
<br>build that would benefit the Boston Habitat for Humanity.<br><br>Our event is currently scheduled for April 27/28, and if we don't have<br>building plans, we will likely have to cancel the event.<br><br>Thanks,<br>
