TCN Fundraiser


As I noted in yesterday’s edition, June is a fundraising month for the TCN. In the past all donations have come by mail or via PayPal. This year I have a new way to donate. It’s called Patreon. It’s a site used by content creators to get funding. Rather than a one-time donation, you can elect to make a monthly contribution. You can donate as little as $1 a month. You can discontinue your recurring donation at any time. Whatever form your support takes, I thank you!
