I belong to 2 quilt guilds here in Phoenix.
Actually one of them is the "Big Guild", Arizona Quilter's Guild with over 2,000 members. I also belong to one of the Chapters of AQG. (There are over 40 chapters, each has its own meeting times, dues and so on.) AQG dues are $25 a year, if you renew by deadline, and $30 if you are late. AQG hosts a yearly Quilt Show, national speakers a couple of times a year, and has 10 month schedule for the newsletter/magazine. Dues also cover insurance, and lots of other stuff.
My chapter, Busy Bees has dues of $20 a year. This helps pay for hall rent and so on.
The Phoenix Area Quilters' Association (PAQA) is the other group I belong to. It has about 40-50 members. Dues cover room rent, door prizes, speakers and so on.
Both the groups I attend are lots of fun.
