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!
