I belonged to a group that was pretty much pot luck lunch and show and tell. Everybody came early enough to visit for half an hour or so before lunch got set out and while we cleaned up and then we'd have show and tell and head for home. It was not a guild. There was no president or by laws or any of that. The meetings moved around from town to town or township and we'd have them in old school lunch rooms and VFWs and an old community building and once in a while a library meeting room. There were always two hostess that were responsible for drinks and clean up. The orginater of that group moved and it mostly disbanded. Some of the ladies in one of the towns still have the get togethers though. I would still go but I live too far away now.
