Welcome!

Dear [FIRSTNAME],

Everyone seems to be ticking along quite nicely despite the hot weather. So no burning questions (pardon the pun) for FIX this month. However, we did have lots of suggestions for useful websites. Thank you everyone - much appreciated.
In lieu of any problems to resolve, we have some articles in FIX on recent fundraising issues and security threats. We also have some neat little apps for editors and graphic designers that'll save you oodles of time.

Happy reading!
Marc
