I belong to a quilting guild. Our dues are $25 per year. We have a quilt show every-other year. We have an executive board which is elected by the board. For big changes, it is brought to the guild itself to vote on. We have 50-75 members. At times the count goes down as we do have many older members who no longer can get out. We have charities - kids quilts. We also have a raffle quilt yearly to make money to cover our expenses. It's a lot of fun to get out and socialize with fellow quilters. It's amazing how many things you can learn!
