I cancelled my membership to the local quilt guild, it was close and had wonderful quilters, but no one would talk to me, except one older member and no one included me in their subgroups. I am usually very gregarious and love to make new friends but they spent the entire meetings bickering and there was no socializing, so I wrote a nice email explaining the reason I was quitting and joined another guild that made me feel welcome. I understand they started a welcoming committee after that. I may try them again in the future!
