May is Fundraising Month for the TCN
Twice a year I hold a
fundraiser for the TCN. It's a way for readers to help support the continued
free distribution of the newsletter. I addition to making a direct monetary
contribution, you can also support the TCN by purchasing ad space or hiring me
to do voice work for your company or organization. Among my voice clients are
the New York MTA, the Port Authority of NY & NJ, Sensys Networks and many
others. Where else can you get free news and a voice professional? Please look
below on how to contribute. Thank you!
