My guild is large, 175, w about 75 at meetings. We get one or two national speakers a year, host two retreats a year, do BOM, a holiday block exchange where names are drawn at the party to win 9 or 12 blocks depending on how many people participate. Everytwo years we put on a quilt show and make a quilt to raffle to help defray costs. We meet at a Methodist Church so we cannot do this but another local group does - they raffle off 3-5 half yard cuts of fabric - one ticket for $1 or 6 for $5. Nice way to get a little money to do things with.
