Free Doughnuts!
Tomorrow is free
doughnut day at Dunkin' Donuts. April 12 was free cone day at Ben &
Jerry's, and who could forget free Slurpee day at 7-Eleven on 7/11? Every
weekday, though, is free TCN day! All you need to do is send an email and you
get the newsletter. You don't even have to buy a cup of coffee.
However, every June I
do ask for your support by making a donation. You can send a check or money
order to the address shown below or you can use PayPal by clicking this link. Thank you for your support!
