Our guild has 200+ members and only meet once a month, at 6P.M. to 9P.M. At each meeting we have committe reports, This includes everythng from our Quilt show to the Sunshine report. We pass a blessing basket, recognise birthdays for the month, welcome new members, and guest. Have a drawing for the block of the month, also usually a suprise drawing for something useful ( if you wear your name tag your entered) always a guest speaker or demo, a show and tell for all to show off our newest quilt. We have a break mid way through for coffee and cookies. we have round robbins but that is something members set up and do on there own. We know before we start the meeting that we are on a tight time line, and we have to stay focased to get everything done. but we usually have plenty of time after the meeting to just sit and chat for a few min. Members of our guild are spread over a large area, I have one of the longest trips, 2 hrs. one way. So we will meet in groups of 2-? to work on charty quilts, round robins, challenges, ect then report on what we are doing or have finished at the next meeting. It works for us and we have never turned anyone away.
