Ours is a very large guild with over 200 members. 130 at the last meeting so it is not possible to know everyone. but still a great way to meet others with same interest. First part of meeting is lecture or talk then show and tell (without a lot of talking). show and tell is volunteery. Then quick business portion to discuss "stuff". this spring the guild is sponsoring a "quilt college" so info about that is presented during this part of meeting. There is a swap table in the back where you bring scraps, mags, etc and take whatever you want, even if you didn't donate anything. Have fun.
