[ISLMA-Share] emailing overdue notices in Destiny

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Mary, your system sounds great. I definitely want to send the emails out on
Sunday. I have classes throughout the week, so their due dates are all
different.
 I know I have to import the email addresses first, so I am trying to
figure out the best way to do that.  I think I either Update Patrons or
Import patrons and change the criteria to merge new info with existing.
Does that sound right?  I have an Excel spreadsheet with all the names and
emails.
