LINK
AIGA San Diego's LINK program is in need of volunteers to help out with design workshops during the months of August through June. Volunteering with LINK is a great way to make a difference in the life of an aspiring designer and you may even learn a new technique or two at one of the workshops! Contact Tony Battiato at
tony@asdesign.biz to volunteer.
