Love my Guild! About 75 members, about a 2 hour business meeting once a month with Show and Tell. Dues $25, of which $10 goes to the VFW for letting use use the space. Twice a month Sit and Sew days, one evening a month for a work night helping each other pin quilts, make kits for donation quilts, etc. Donation quilts- over 140/year, occasional guest speaker, 2 -3 bus trips, 3 - 4 Quilt Til You Wilt long weekends with Pot Luck dinner. Officers meet once a month officially, but also see each other frequently at group events. The Guild makes a large raffle quilt to benefit the VFW, and donates quilts for other community organizations and schools to raffle. Like any organization there are about 20 core members who do so much of the essential work- organizing events, setting up the hall, coordinating with the VFW, community outreach and quilt delivery, etc. No Quilt Police Allowed. We can participate in Block of the Month raffles- $1 buys a baggie with directions for a block and a piece of fabric for it. We add the rest of the fabrics and bring it back the finished block to have a chance to win all. July's meeting is a picnic, December's is a dinner- restaurant or pot luck. There are also Retreat Weekends- 1 - 2 times a year at a hotel or resort. We teach classes for each other, and have a lending library. Open House annually during the town wide Garage Sale, and we even sell some items to build the treasury. It's a busy and fun group.
