I really enjoy my guild, I have made some great friends there but....the charter members are elderly now and they shoot down most inquiries about having many of the programs and speakers mostly because of the cost. They have the mindset of have to save money. For what? It's a guild that will never see a rainy day. LOL. It's an on going battle and sadly I think my guild will be losing many of the newer members because of the old set in stone by laws written by....the charter members.
