Invoice reminder

On the 23rd of every month the following is sent out for people with outstanding invoices (the invoice itself is copied below this message):

Dear {member_friendly_name},

According to our records, we have not received full payment for 
your yearly or monthly membership dues. 

(If you have paid within the last 2 weeks, then please disregard 
this notice.)

It is very expensive to keep our servers and operations running.  Late payment of membership dues strains our collective resources. Please contribute to our shared
infrastructure by paying your May First/People Link dues
promptly! 

If you have any questions about your dues, or you think we have
made an error please contact us directly at 718-303-3204 or
members@mayfirst.org.

Thanks!

May First/People Link
