My guild (I just resigned as president... my term was up) greets visitors warmly, and is a warm, friendly group, but we are capped at 50 members. We will willingly put someone on a waiting list, and we do have people come and go thru out the year due to family situations and jobs. I agree with most of the posters... just show up, and hope for a good outcome. If you do have contact info, I probably would do that, just because I am a bit OCD about things... Good luck!
