My guild meets once per month and we have a board meeting for officers and chairs one per month (anyone can attend the board meeting if they wish).
Our monthly program meeting consists of announcements (info on trips, shows, activites, workshops, etc.), the "program" which is the presentation by our guest speaker. Two months out of the year instead of a guest speaker we have either mini-demos (guild members demonstrate tips, techniques or patterns) or have the locL shops come in to talk about classes, sales, etc. After the guest speaker we have show and tell and then drawings for name tag, block of the month and oppurtunity.
We have a little over 200 member in the guild, usually around 125-150 show up to the meeting and around 25-30 do of the majority of the organization, planning and work to keep the guild running.
We have workshops put on by our guest speaker either the day before or the day after our program meeting. These workshops are getting expensive, partly do to the travel and lodging expense to bring and speakers and partly because the speakers are charging more. Many of our members are having trouble affording the workshops so we also offer member led workshops that are either free or $5.
We also have weekly charity workshops, these are really just a sit and sew with the projets that are being done for charity, they are done in a members home so the space is very limited. We also host large charity workshops twice a
year.
