ok, here's one more opinion. I belong to 3 guilds. The one in SC is over 100 members, but I joined when they were getting ready for a quilt show and I did a lot of volunteering. Got me familiar with a smaller group of hard workers. Love that group and still try to drive up 2.5 hrs once or twice a year for a meeting. In GA I belong to a large group 150 members and walk around feeling like an invisible woman. Then I asked were there any small bee groups. I got to be part of a brand new one of six ladies who are very artsy. Now I have that mtg, and when I go to guild, I know those girls well!! My little guild of 35 is wonderful. Very friendly right from the start... shop around and do not settle for warm snooty bodies!
