[mit-habitat-exec] Fwd: FW: MIT Habitat for Humanity

[Elyse Pieper]

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.

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.
