I belong to a large guild with 90 some members, 65 attended the last meeting. We have a set of bylaws that determine in general how the guild is to be run and what we spend money on. Our treasurer heads a budget committee that attempts to predict our income for the year and determines how much money each committee will get. We pay $30 per year in dues and are expected to sell (or buy ourselves) $20 worth of opportunity quilt tickets as well. We are often asked to donate food or fabric or batting for different events or projects. Our guild spends its money on renting a hall for meetings, insurance, post office box, storage unit, monthly newsletter, fabric and supplies for opportunity quilt, BOM, and charity quilts, presenters at meetings and equipment. The person or committee in charge of each area usually decides how their allotment of money is spent, but items that may differ from past practice may be put to vote of the entire membership.
