November TCN Fundraiser
While I always appreciate contributions for the TCN during my twice-a-year fundraisers, I'm just as happy to offer something in return for your donation. This way you can make a contribution and get something of value in return! For example, for a $50 contribution I'll be happy to make a 60-second or less recording for you or someone of your choosing. For a $100 contribution, you can get an ad in the TCN.
Have another idea? Just let me know. As always, you can make a contribution with the information below.
