Transportation Communications Newsletter

**Last Day for TCN Fundraiser**

First, thank you for your support! I greatly appreciate the contributions many of you have made. 

If you would still like to support the TCN you may contribute via PayPal or by sending a check to the address below.

While I hope my work on the TCN alone is worthy of your support, I am more than happy to lend my voice to your organization. I’ve spent years on the radio in New York City and every day millions hear my voice during their travels on the NYC subway system, PATCO and on the AirTrain at Newark Liberty International Airport. 

You spend quite a bit of time and money making your organization look its best. Why not spend a fraction of that on making it sound its best? You can hear samples of my work here

**TCN Annual Fundraiser**

Each June, the anniversary month of the Transportation Communications Newsletter (the TCN has been publishing for 21 years!), I hold a fundraiser to help support the newsletter. I appreciate your assistance, especially since one of my regular advertisers discontinued their ads this year.

You may contribute via PayPal or by sending a check to the address below.

While I appreciate contributions, as always I’m very willing to do additional work for your support. Please consider hiring me for any voice needs you may have. In the past year I’ve done radio commercials for WMATA, narrated a video for Trains Magazine and voiced a presentation for Virginia DOT, among others. You can hear samples of my work here. Thank you for your support!
