Hello,

With below freezing temperatures predicted again for this weekend, please help in protecting Tang Hall. There have been several incidents over the past few weeks due to pipes freezing because windows were left open and we experienced substantial damage as a result.

Thank you for your cooperation

Re: Survey of Children Living at MIT

The 2008 City of Cambridge Census is extensive and is requesting information on the children living within our residential system. The Housing Office is responsible for providing this information to the City as required by law.

In order to have a complete census of who is living in our buildings, please complete the information below to provide the name and date of birth of all children living with you on campus.

This form should be returned to me either by e-mail (generalmit [dot] edu), by interdepartmental or by US mail to W59-200 no later than January 5, 2009. Feel free to contact me at 3-4449 if you have any questions and thank you in advance for your assistance and cooperation.

Hi all,

You are receiving this e-mail because you are currently a member of the
westgate-infomit [dot] edu mailing list.

I wanted to give everyone notice that we are making some minor changes to
our Westgate mailing lists today. Most importantly, we'll be changing the
names of each of the lists so that their purposes are more clear and
obvious. I will be sending out one or two test e-mails to each of the new
lists tonight, so if you don't hear from me by the end of today, I might
have made a mistake in transferring over your personal e-mail address. If
that's the case, contact me at westgate-gcmit [dot] edu and let me know.

Thanks,
Jason
