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

Hey Elyse,

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.

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.

If that's too complicated, maybe we could do an information session or
something of the kind.

Let me know what you think,

Neeharika
