TCN Fundraiser
Hard to believe it's
been six months since the last fundraiser, but it's time once again for my
biannual contribution appeal.
Unlike your favorite public radio station, I don't interrupt the
programming to ask for your support, but I do want to let you know your
contributions are a major reason the TCN will be celebrating its 15th
anniversary next month. Information
on how to contribute can be found below.
Thank you!
