I join a guild last year. Attended the day meeting, found over 50 people, then visited the evening meeting. About 16 people. mostly all employed. This is all one guild. Evening group rotate bringing food for dinner. We bring our machines and sew, meeting is about an hour, we have show and tell. We have classes by volunteers every couple of months. The day group have trunk shows monthly. This is fairly active guild with workshops and community service projects. From day one everyone was friendly and helpful to newbies. Cost $30/year. I'm glad I joined.
