TCN November Fundraiser
I had a great reaction to last week's notice in which I offered a couple of valuable gifts in return for donations to the TCN. In case you missed it, for a $50 gift I'll provide a professional recording of up to 60-seconds. You can have the same voice that informs thousands daily on the NYC subways and the AirTrain on your phone greeting or anywhere else you'd like to use it. For a contribution of $100, you get an ad in the TCN. Of course, you can also just make a contribution of any amount. Please look below for information on how to contribute. Thank you!
