November TCN Fundraiser
I had a suggestion from a couple of TCN subscribers that I should offer to send an invoice to subscribers who wish to contribute. In some instances it may make it easier to provide a contribution if there's an invoice which can be submitted. If that's the case please contact me at bernie@bwcommunications.net and just let me know what you need and I'll e-mail you back an invoice. For those who don't need an invoice but would still like to contribute, please see the contact information at the bottom of today's newsletter. You can mail a check or contribute via PayPal. Thank you to all of you who have already contributed. Your support helps keep the TCN coming.
