Greetings:
July is National Ice Cream Month. President Ronald Reagan designated July as national ice cream month in 1984 to recognize the popularity of ice cream in the United States. 90% of the nation's population consumes ice cream.

The International Ice Cream Association (IICA) encourages all retailers and consumers to celebrate July as National Ice Cream Month and National Ice Cream Day on the 3rd Sunday of July. The ice cream industry provides thousands of jobs and generates approximately 20 billion dollars annually in sales. The economic well-being of the nation's dairy industry relies heavily on the sales of ice cream; about 9% of all the milk produced by dairy farmers is used to produce ice cream.

We are at the peak of summer support. More fairs are running between the 3rd week of July and 2nd Week of August than any other time of year. At times our support call volume is very high, but on average the number of calls we’ve fielded this year is lower than in previous years. If our phone lines are busy, please be patient and try again; or try contacting support by email at www.martechsys.com/support/contact.php. Also check out our support knowledgebase at www.martechsys.com/faq-pro. Many common questions and answers are posted there.

Greetings:
Did you know that Mr. Potato was the first toy advertised on TV; more Monopoly money is printed daily than real money; Barbie’s full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts; and finally, a Chinese checker board has 121 holes?

The summer fair season is starting to heat up. July is traditionally our busiest month, peaking at the third and fourth weeks. The good news is that version 2.8 is extremely stable and our support call volume has been less this year than in years past. If our phone lines are busy, please be patient and try again; or try contacting support by email at www.martechsys.com/support/contact.php.
