<P><FONT COLOR="#800080" SIZE=2 FACE="Georgia">Hi, everyone!</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#800080" SIZE=2 FACE="Georgia">My friend and I teach a tech class with After School Matters, a non-profit organization in Chicago. We're planning our class for the semester and are looking for professionals who have either built/maintained computers or designed a website for free. The class this semester is mainly hardware-centered, so the students will be learning how to take apart and build computers, but there is a "social action" application to the class where students get to plug their new skills directly into the community.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#800080" SIZE=2 FACE="Georgia">We're looking for a guest speaker (or speakers) to come and talk to our class about why they decided to do a site/repair a computer for free. I know that a lot of us do it to beef up our portfolio or the networking possibilities, but if there are some of you out there who decided to do it for other reasons, we're interested in hearing from you. I can work with you about date and time, and my co-instructor and I are very open minded about these things, so if you're not sure if your particular altruistic action counts, email me. :)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#800080" SIZE=2 FACE="Georgia">Reply to me directly, lay-c@lay-c.com if you're interested!</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#800080" SIZE=2 FACE="Georgia">Thanks so much in advance, </FONT>
