I belong to our state (Arkansas) guild, and the dues there are $25 per year. I'm going to be joining a guild in the next county over at the end of this month, and their dues are $15. I can't join the guild here in my own county because they won't let men join (Boo! Hisss! Discriminatory! :evil: )
The dues in the state guild are used for basic operations, such as monthly rent for the meeting room at the community center, newsletter printing, etc. We have a board that meets monthly to make decisions for direction of the guild, and any major decisions are presented to the members for a vote.
