[Habitat] MIT Cardboard House Building Competition!

[Grace Lee]

Hi everyone,

Campus Build is an awesome event that brings Habitat right into the center
of campus!  Never have a chance to come on a Saturday build day?  Come build
a handicap ramp with us anytime on Friday, April 23 - right next to Kresge!
Email me with the times that you'd like to help out (ie. noon-1pm).

Or, get a group of friends together and build a cardboard house!  The teams
built some really incredible structures last year - go to habitat.mit.edu to
see photos.

Also, could you guys forward this email to group lists (ie. student groups,
fraternities, sororities, sports teams, etc.)?

Thanks!  Hope to see you next Friday :)

-Grace
