One guild I belong to was started by Mimi Dietrich. It is called Village Quilters and meets in the daytime the third thursday of each month September through June. In Ellicott City, Maryland.
The second is Everybody's Quilt Guild. We meet twice a month year round, at night, in Westminster, MD. Both guilds started out in homes and have grown to at least 100 members. Both groups have yearly dues the first is $30 a year and the second is $24. We have to pay rent for the meeting places.
