November TCN Fundraiser
While I always
appreciate contributions for the TCN during my twice-a-year fundraisers, I'm
just as happy to offer something in return for your donation. This way you can make a contribution
and get something of value in return!
For example, for a $50 contribution I'll be happy to make a 60-second or
less recording for you or someone of your choosing. For a $100 contribution, you can get an ad in the TCN.
Have another
idea? Just let me know. As always, you can make a contribution
with the information below.
