<div><br></div><div>As a side note, <b>we are always looking individuals to join our unofficial designer and webmaster team</b>. Throughout the semester we need to have advertising materials created, website updated and redesigned, and other tasks that require specific skills. These will not be officer positions, but you will be contacted once in a while with assignments. If you are interested, please send an email to <a href="mailto:ballroom@andrew.cmu.edu" target="_blank">ballroom@andrew.cmu.edu</a> with the subject “Designer [or Webmaster] interest.” <br>
