[mit-habitat-exec] Campus Build

[Neeharika Bhartiya]

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.

Still, finding another chapter is probably a better plan.

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.

Let me know what you guys think so I can tell the Spring Weekend Committee
so that they can do publicity.
