Our guild has over 300 members, about 150 attend the monthly meeting. We have a "hostess" position who greets visitors and new members, shows them around, introduces them to some people with similar interests. We have at least a dozen small quilt groups associated with the guild and hold a social every year to help form more groups, add members to existing groups. I belong to the charity quilt group at the south end of the county (another one meets in the north) and love to get together with the 7-8 other members twice a month to make charity quilts or to cut "kits" for tops for other guild members to sew together for us. We gave away 170 quilts last year!
