Hi, and thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it. :) I know I sound bitter throughout this thread, and I guess I am to some extent although I wish I weren't. I do want to say that there are many wonderful, warm quilters in that guild -- I met many that night and I know that not everyone wants the no-men rule to remain. But my gut feeling is that it's not going to change, even if someone does eventually actually bring it up for a vote. As I understand it, it would have to go before the guild board for consideration first before it would even be presented to the membership for a vote. So I don't think it would make it to the membership for a vote. But thank you for speaking up here in support of a repeal, that does mean a lot to me. :)
