TCN Fundraiser
It's been a year since
the last TCN fundraiser. Rather than doing two fundraisers a year I thought I'd
try one. Later this month the TCN will celebrate its 18th
anniversary! For all 18 years the TCN has never had a subscription fee. While
there is some advertising revenue, that doesn't cover the costs of bringing you
the newsletter every weekday of the year. If you would like to help support the
TCN, please feel free to make a contribution. 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!
