Thanks

The insurance you will need depends on where you hold your meetings I think. The church where we have our meetings requires us to have liability insurance (SLIP, I think). It doesn't actually cover the members, but does cover any speakers or teachers we hire.
We get ours thru' the Southern California Council of Quilt Guilds. You may be able to get some info that would help you on their website: http://www.sccqg.org if you email our insurance coordinator (click on the Board Members link).
They also have lots of good info on the things you may need for your guild as well. Of course, some things may well be different here in California, but they do have lots of great ideas.
Good luck & congratulations on your new guild!!
