My local quilt guild charges dues of $15 per year. If we go to a class, there is a small fee -- usually $20 or less.
Every two years we do have a quilt show where a quilt is made and raffled off. We are given tickets to sell/buy. Year before last, I just turned all my tickets back in and no one said anything! Of course, they do expect you to volunteer some time working at the show if you can or at least have one quilt to show (whether it's perfect or not!).
I have tickets for this year's show (held in Sept.) but I haven't sold any -- guess I'd better get busy and do that!! :-)
