TCN Fund Drive

Today marks the halfway point for the month and that means the halfway point for my June fundraising effort.  A number of you have contributed and I want to thank you for your support.  For those interested in contributing you'll find information below on how you can make a donation. 

Some readers have written to say it's easier to make a donation if I send them an invoice.  If that would help, please send me an email. 

I hope you have a great weekend and I'll be back on Monday with edition 3,780 of the TCN.
