[mit-habitat-exec] RE: Campus Build Materials

[Tracy Purinton]

Hi Habitat exec:

There has been a little snag in the plans, unless one of you knows 
something that I don't...  When Facilities went to pick up the wood and 
move it to storage, the wood was already gone.  I know you guys have the 
Kresge Oval reserved for this weekend to do your Campus Build, but somehow 
the wood has either been stolen, or (hopefully!) one of you contacted Home 
Depot and they picked it up?

Please let me know if any of you know what might have happened to the wood.

Thanks so much,
Tracy
