[ISLMA-Share] Emailing student fines/holds in Destiny

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Thank you Tim Yoder for offering your time and help and Leah Krippner for
the info!  I was able to send them out.  Here are my steps to those who are
interested:

Patron reports
Overdues
Notices : English
DISTRIBUTED:
                  Via email
                  Display name: I put my School's Name and LRC
                  Email: my own
EMAIL 1 (in the students' info their email is located in this spot.  It
could be email 1 or email 2.  You need to check this)
Changed the blurb to fit my need
Scheduled it to go out every Weds.

Whoop! Whoop!

Very exciting!
