Hi DAT Vancouver,

Below is a letter we just sent out for our most recent call for Interns. We wanted to let the DAT Vancouver team know we're looking for a Web-Design Assistant; if you all could spread the news to your networks, that'd be much appreciated. As well, if any of you have the skills we're looking for and are willing to volunteer (obviously, we can be very flexible, as most of you aren't students and probably aren't looking to intern anywhere :) ) Email me back by the end of next week, if so. You can visit openmedia.ca/intern for more info -- we're also looking for other kinds of help.

Thanks very much!

Shea
