I'm the VP for my guild... here is what we do
*Officers and committees run for a period of two years (All but VP. it is a 3 year commitment first year you are VP second year you are president, then the 3rd year you are an advisor)
* Monthly meetings are the first Monday of the month, we have one in the afternoon and one in the evening
*Each month we have something from the program committee. Some times is a new technique, sometimes it's a trunk show. We always try to have 1 big speaker every year.
*Charity Quilts - we do them all year round but we have 1 day that is dedicated to putting them together. From Sept 1- Dec 31 we had handed out over 100 quilts to various charities in the area.
* Every other year we have a quilt show.
* We have a retreat each year. This year it is the end of May.
* Once a month we have a "stashbusters" where we rent a location and anyone can come and work on a project. there are normally a few people there so if you need help there are peopl there to help.
* We have a yahoo group so we can email and arrange outings as a group for anyt quilt shows or Shop hops that we want to go to
* we have different classes and round Robins and such through out the year so everyone has the ability to participate.
* At every meeting members are encouraged to bring finished items as a show and tell for everyone to see.
Our guild has 230 members so we have a large group.
