Hi

I’m sharing this announcement for Groovy Donuts.  Monica (Lucas) Gauthier, GD co-owner and baker, is an FW alum!  She’d love to hire some FW folks, so she can “nerd out on fish / conservation talk”, as she puts it.  LOL.

Subject: Hello! and... Groovy Donuts is Hiring!
Hello Jim,

Long time no see. I'm in need of dropping by and forcing donuts on the FW crew at some point.

We are hiring for an overnight baker here at Groovy Donuts. I was wondering if you could pass this along to any of your students or past students who are looking for a job. I will work with students' class schedules so they can prioritize their studies.

Also they can nerd out on fish / conservation talk with the weird fish-donut lady.

Please note: We offer a paid training program for those who have little to no experience with making donuts.

Thank you for your consideration to spread the word!
