Oh gosh. I read all the posts here and I can empathize but I so love my guilds. Have to keep myself from joining more. I get involved, join the bees, go to retreats, etc. The more you know , the funner it is. Hope you all have one close you might try again. WE switch out board members every year and you can't serve mroe than two. Gives us new leadership and variety. And the bigger guilds can pay to have some wonderful people do classes. Jackie I wish you lived closer. YOu seem to be someone who would really be an asset to a guild.
