I also say go.....remember that the guild member who is accepting membership is just a regular person like you....probably juggling a full time job and the treasurer's job. My guild has a mailbox that is only checked on a bi-weekly basis.....so the check and membership could still be in the box. My experience is that the box will probably be checked about a week before the meeting so that the board member could be up on what's happening. I love my guild and think you will too.
