I like this board but LOVE my Guild. We have fantastic speakers and no one ever needs to join in anything like back stabbing for there isn't any. You must have had a sad experience. I only regret that the meetings are in the evening and I am no longer driving at night. I am a little older than some of you, but am still going strong writing, quilting, gardening and volunteering at a History Center at 86. We find what we look for in a group.
