"I wanted to let you know that on Friday I was hired by FEMA as a Public Information Officer. I will be deployed to New Orleans next week to help with the hurricane relief efforts. My experience at Fandango gave me some concrete examples of my writing skills to share with FEMA and I wanted to thank you for that opportunity."
—Elizabeth Childs, Fandango Intern Spring 2005
