Jim, I realize it would likely stick in your craw . . .
however,
I’d be blessed if you’d post what the loan outstanding is and what it was for—even a general category—and let the FREEPERS decide if they want to help you retire the debt early.
imho,
YOU HAVE MORE THAN EARNED SUCH HELP AND IT WOULD BE AN HONOR IF WE COULD HELP.
I could only kick in an extra measily $5.00 toward such but maybe thousands of FREEPERS would feel similarly.
PLEASE let us at least consider it!
We ran up the corporate credit cards on travel (criss-crossed the country on tours three or four times in the last two years), went way over budget on our national convention and ended up borrowing 7,000 from one FReeper and 13,000 from another (both are almost paid back, thank you very much), plus we ran up a sizable legal bill and lawsuit settlement last year and it’s almost paid off thanks to the Freepers putting in extra the last couple of fundraisers.
