I rejoined after an extended absence about a year ago, and managed to get my very old number back. I willingly made a donation to help that happen! Great decision...I reconected with a bunch of great like-minded friends.
This year's "amnesty deal" was a fantastic decision. My original number meant a lot to me. I'm sure I'm not alone in that opinion.
Hooray for TCA's efforts! I'm glad to be back as a TCA member!
