[Vanhackspace] thechange.com / ethicaldeal.com presentation

[Annalea Krebs]

Hi Jeff,

Fred reached out to me suggesting VHS as a place to advertize my latest job
opening<http://www.techvibes.com/job/php-web-developer-for-growing-start-up-in-sustainability-space>.
He had initially suggessted coming in to present so your members could learn
more about the opportunity, but since not all of your members attend the
meetings, I think sending it out to your mailing list would be a better
option.

I think he saw a fit in that some of your members are interested in working
on sustainability/social change projects, and my business operates in the
same space. If you think your members would be interested in the opportunity
to get involved with the founding team of a small, but growing start-up in
the sustainability space then I'd appreciate you sharing this posting
through your mailing list. All the best, Annalea PHP Web Developer for
Growing Start-Up in Sustainability
Space<http://www.techvibes.com/job/php-web-developer-for-growing-start-up-in-sustainability-space>

TheChange <http://www.thechange.com> seeks a backend web developer (PHP) to
join the team!

Passionate about using technology for social change?! Want to be a part of
the founding team of a promising start-up? If you are a self-motivated,
entrepreneurial web developer then keep
