We Have to Do a Bit Better on Donations ... Soon
For the record, RSN can function on a lean, frugal budget and function at a high level. What RSN cannot do is function without that lean, frugal budget.
We are getting down to the last few days of the month and we haven’t raised enough to cover basic operating expenses, yet.
Standing up and fighting now.
Come onboard.
