TCN Fund Drive
Twice a year (May and November) I conduct a fundraising drive to
help support the TCN. Near the
bottom of the newsletter you'll find information on how you can contribute. In
addition to monetary gifts, there are other ways you can support the TCN. These
include buying ad space in the TCN, utilizing my transportation voiceover
services or simply letting others in the field know about the TCN so they too can
subscribe. Throughout May I'll provide more details on how you can support the
TCN. Thank you!
