[mit-habitat-exec] order placed

Thu Apr 21 12:52:15 EDT 2005

Rain: The Committee chair said we could use La Sala if we get permission from
CAC.  I have class until 5 today--can someone else go check on that today? 
(Actually I don't know exactly what the CAC is, but I assume it's an office?) 

Sid: Can you call up Home Depot and pay on your credit card?  If you can, the
order number again is 357-211 and Home Depot's number is 617-623-0001.  If not,
tell us ASAP so Elyse can call up tonight, since we both have a test before 11
tomorrow and can't call tomorrow.  

Delivery: Elyse and I will take care of calling up the delivery guy to tell them
when to deliver.  

Tax Exempt form: We do have a pdf file of it from the workday, but I don't think
there's any way of getting that to them before we pay.  Whoever calls and pays
(so either Sid or Elyse) can ask if they'll let us mail/email it to them later?

I think that's all, class time
