TCN Fundraiser – That's All Folks!
Those of you of a
certain age will remember the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon each Labor Day weekend.
Whenever there was a new contribution total to announce, there'd be drum roll
and the amount would appear on a big tote board. The TCN fundraiser is a bit
more low-budget and less dramatic, but I do want to thank you for your support.
It's that support that encourages me to put the newsletter together each day,
whether it's a holiday, I'm on vacation, or it's just a run-of-the-mill
weekday. Of course, you can still contribute, not just today but anytime that's
convenient. If you scroll below you'll find the PayPal link and my address to
mail a donation.
