May TCN Fundraiser
Whether it's
Christmas, New Year's or any other weekday, you can count on the TCN showing up
in your in-box (usually at 6 pm NYC time). My goal is to produce the newsletter
no matter what and that includes some pretty extraordinary circumstances such
as 9/11, Superstorm Sandy and a blizzard or two. Even when I'm on the road the
TCN has been published from places such as Vermont, Alabama, Quebec and
Bermuda. Each May and November I ask for your support to keep the TCN coming.
Well, it's May so you know what's next. Scroll down for information on how to
make a donation and remember you can also support the TCN by purchasing ad
space or hiring me to do voice work. Thanks!
