I am glad to see your post!! You are in a position to do something to improve a situation like this first poster stumbled into. I was thinking about my big guild and how hard it is to know who is new or just who you hadn't noticed before. Maybe a cute birthday crown like they get for little girls party favors, could be worn by visitors and new members. Now if you can pass by a lady wearing a plastic crown and not speak...shame on you!! you are a snob and need to get your priorities straight!! My husband says all quilters are nice people...well, maybe not...but they should be!!
