TCN Fundraiser – Halfway Point
Today is June 15 and
that means there are 15 more days to go in the TCN fundraiser. To those of you
who have sent in contributions, thank you! If you haven't, what are you waiting
for? ;-)
When I tune in to my
local public radio station during their "begathons" they often offer
a CD, umbrella or coffee cup for donations. Not wanting to be one-upped by my
radio colleagues, if you give now you can get a hand-written thank you note on
my custom-made transportation stationary! I can hear the checkbooks flying open
already. For the first contribution of $1,000 (or more) I'll even send you a
ticket for "Hamilton." Impress your friends by telling them you got
the toughest-to-get ticket on Broadway. Disclaimer: It's a used ticket. To
make a contribution, by mail or PayPal, please scroll down. Thanks!
