I have to agree with this suggestion. Our 2 local quilt guilds have reached capacity...not necessarily that they wouldn't like to have more members but the Fire Marshal sets a limit on the number of individuals that a particular room may have in it at any given time. Sometimes it is fewer members allowed if tables are set up but a larger number if only chairs. I feel sure that you would be welcome as a one time visitor but they may have a quota for their meeting room. If you know who to call or email, please do so but if not...just show up. I was lucky to "get in under the wire". Good luck in finding a place where you are welcome and that you feel comfortable; there is one out there somewhere for you.
