Churches vary; they don't all charge exhorbitant fees. One of the groups I belong to meets weekly in a church basement. A member of the group is a member of that church and they have it for free. They make a donation at the end of each year, but it's never been something the pastor asked for. The group used to meet monthly in a different church for an annual fee of USD 50. Many towns (or neighborhoods in cities) have community centers, or rooms in the public buildings. Citizens of those towns/neighborhoods are allowed to use them for free. The group that meets in a church basement uses the Borough building for workshops. The police department and city offices are in the building. A sewing group I belong to meets at a community room at the local pound (city-run animal shelter), but they're considering moving to a community room at a fire station. A weaving group I belong to meets at a local college, in a classroom; another lace group meets in another church. I don't know what financial arrangements either of them have. They are both large-ish groups so they may be able to pay. I also belong to a small lace group (9 members, usually 4-6 come to any meeting) that meets at members' homes. Robin P.
