TCN November Fundraiser
If you make a donation
to support the TCN you won't get a tote bag, a coffee mug or an umbrella,
however, you will my undying gratitude. Actually, there are some very nice
"gifts" you can get by supporting the TCN, which I think are a much
better deal. For a donation of $100 you can get an ad in an upcoming edition. You
can also hire me to do a voiceover and in return you get to hear my dulcet tones
on your phone, video or anyplace else you want. Please look below on how you
can make a donation. Thank you!
