I recently joined a guild, probably 35 membrs. No annual dues, when you sign in at the meeting, you pay $1.00. We have a Pres., Sec., treasurer, and sunshine lady. Ther is a sharing table, bring something to sell, cheap, proceeds to the local food pantry. We work on Quilts of Valour, and supporting the drive for a "comfort home" in our county. We donate individual quilts, and presented them with a big quilt to raffle. One lady picks a quilt BOM pattern, and decides the colors for it. When you bring the block in, you put your name in the box, somebody takes the blocks home to make a quilt. There is also social events, tomorrow is a shop hop. Being as I don't have a quilting friend, I have really enjoyed this guild and the nice ladies I've met there.
