Wanted: Interns and Part-time Sales Associates

Kidoinfo is just over a year old and thanks to a growing number of contributors, my fabulous editor, Nancy King, and my tech husband, Douglas (who set up the site and handles many major tech-related issues after his day job is done and the kids are in bed), I have made Kidoinfo into a site for kids–and the people who raise, teach, and entertain them–that is full of local flavor and appeals to a national audience. As Kidoinfo continues to grow and (hopefully) becomes as important to some parents as their morning cup of coffee, so do the responsibilities to keep Kidoinfo up to date and running smoothly. I am looking for the right people to join the Kidoinfo family: a few summer interns and part-time sales associates. Email Anisa if you’re interested, or pass this on to someone you think would be!
