There is another one that has a larger number of members that I may check out as well.
My guild has 250 members and is celebrating a 30 years anniversary. So it's big and has had a lot of years to form various cliques. The first night I attended, I sought out the President and asked what committee needed a hard worker. I was immediately put to work helping with Block of the Month and met many other hard workers. Long story short, I've been on the board five times, was editor of the newsletter, and am currently Membership Chair. I believe the only way to be welcomed into any organization is to offer to help. I'd say, try, try again. Belles
