[Oabs] Auction item gathering update

[Kaiti Shelton]

Emily and all,

My really good friend and former roommate is running to Walgreen's to
pick up some posterboard we'll need for a bakesale our fraternity is
holding tomorrow.  I have asked her to check to see if Frozen might be
there, because sometimes Walgreens carries movies for cheap as well.
She should be letting me know how the search turns out pretty soon,
but please do plan on getting the DVD unless Cheyenne is successful in
finding it.

She's also picking up a pack of index cards for me so I can start
brailling tickets tonight to pay me back for buying her dinner last
week.  Yay for roommates being awesome!
