Newsletters

- Open Newsletters in your organisation's menu and press New newsletter.
- Choose one of the 40 ready newsletters (monthly news, an invitation, the notice of the annual general meeting, a call for volunteers, greetings and more), or start with an empty one. Change the words and fill in the parts in [square brackets].
- Write the subject and pick a design (Classic, Simple, Bold, Letter, Banner, Elegant) and a colour.
- Build it from parts with Add a part: a heading, text, a picture (from an album that is for everyone), a button, a line. Move them up and down with the arrows.

- Choose who it is for: all members, or some membership types, committees or branches.
