TCN Donations
When I announced the start of the biannual TCN fundraiser I noted that unlike public radio I won't interrupt the 'programming' to ask for your support. However, there is one idea from public radio that I have stolen and that's offering you something in return for your donation. No, it's not a CD from Les Misérables or a canvas book bag. Hopefully, it's something even more useful. For a $100 contribution you get an ad in the TCN and for just $25 I'll record a simple phone message, or something similar. Not only do you help keep the TCN coming every day, you can use me to help you communicate your message. Information on how to contribute can be found below. Thank you!
