I'm not sure why you think there is a limit to membership. Isn't it just as easy, and more cost effective, to have a program for 200 hundred members as 50? I can see limiting workshop numbers, but the more members, the more $$ in dues to run the organization, donate quilts, hold shows, etc. Plus, how would you divide your members? There's bound to be hurt feelings from people who are "ousted" from the original group. Is it worth it? Our guild has smaller sub groups who get together from time to time, but we all come together once a month and keep up with what we're all doing.
