Transportation Communications Newsletter

It's May and that means it's time for the biannual TCN fundraising
drive. Your support over the years
has meant a lot and has allowed the TCN to grow. In the past ten+ years I've only missed one day and,
hopefully, I can keep that streak going for many years to come.
Some readers have told me that if I send them an invoice it makes
it easier for them to contribute.
If that's the case for you, just let me know and I can email you an
invoice.
Remember, monetary gifts are just one way to support the TCN. You can use my voiceover services and
you can encourage your colleagues to subscribe. The TCN is also a great way to advertise your services and
products to the 7,600+ subscribers.
Donation information is available below.
