The loan was to provide cash flow to the organization. I apologize for this return being late. We are a very small organization dedicated to providing free business development assistance to, primarily, the disadvantaged and disabled population on the south side of Chicago. and had some staffing problems last year along with some cash flow issues that necessitated a personal loan from the Director to keep the organization afloat. This year we are much more stable and have contracted with an experienced bookkeeper who will make certain that all future reports are filed in a timely manner. Thank you for your understanding.
