Post a comment » - I have just installed a plugin that converts the TCC website to a mobile-friendly version (the plugin shortens the loading time when you view our website from your mobile device). There's one more reason to drop by our website anywhere, anytime! :)
Post a comment » - We have recently started a new TCC Fan Page because we would like to reach out to a wider audience in a more effective way, and we realized that a fan page would be a better "tool" than a group. We will be posting more updates of our activities and events on the TCC Fan Page, so please take a minute to join us, OK?
