TCN Fundraiser – First Full Day of Winter Edition           

No, that's not a typo, just a reminder that many TCN readers are in the Southern Hemisphere where starting today their daylight hours are now getting longer while ours in the Northern Hemisphere start shrinking. It's also a reminder that with PayPay it doesn't matter where you live. You can still support the TCN by making a contribution in whatever currency you use. No need to convert to US dollars. Please look below on how you can make a donation. Thank you!
