I belong to a lovely guild (maybe 50 attend) but also to a BEE that is a small offshoot of about 10 people and we do lots of charity work and work toward stuff that the Guild is doing also so the best of both. It keeps me involved more than I would usually be if on my own. We meet 1 X month and have lunch and learn new things and put together projects and visit. The guild by me is very large (300+) and I did not really care for it. They do beautiful work but not warm.
