okaay....might the group's bank rep know someone who would make an interest-free loan? Or low interest? If the same interest can be paid as they would get on a type of investment, they might go for it.

Or do you know of a supporter who might be privately approached? (Get it all on paper if you do! )

THEN you can pay off the bills, and focus on establishing regular fund-raising activities during the year, for that once-a-month payment!

Just a thought....
