[Lucy Chambers]

Dear Stefan,

Thank you for your very impressive bio and welcome to the Where Does My
Money Go? discuss list!

I am one of the Community Coordinators for the project, so feel free to get
in contact if you have any questions at all, or need help moving your
project forward. If I can't answer them myself, I should be able to point
you in the direction of the person who can ))

We're really looking forward to having you on board, and will look forward
to hearing your ideas!

Best wishes,

Lucy
