We’re getting CLOSER!

As of this date, participation increased from 52%to 60%, great progress but still looking to get that up to 80,90,100%. Let’s all do our part.
Again, no contribution is too small, and our match is still happening so whatever you give will be doubled. Our total is up to 85% so let’s keep this going.
We’re almost there. Please join us in this important project. Let’s get that participation up to 100%. You can send a check to TBS, 50 Division St, Hudson, OH 44236 or donate on line through Zeffy and choose the fee down to zero.
Thank you and blessings to all,
