One local guild is quite large for a rural area, but is known for being unfriendly. Several of the members also belong to the one that I belong to and express that there are many things they don't like - but because they are large enough to attract "known" teachers, etc., they continue their membership. However, the majority of them are far past retirement age and I often wonder how they will continue when the bulk of their membership are no longer able to participate. Fact is, unless they become a friendlier group overall, they won't.

LOVE this idea!! :thumbup: Thank you for sharing. I'm going to suggest it to our guild! :-D
