Make sure someone brings scissors, thread and quilting pins as well as a rotary cutter. At our guild meeting, we always brought a covered dish of some kind and everyone had lunch together. It was great fellowship. If you bring in a few magazines or quilting pattern ideas it would help. Also, one thing I thought was helpful was when everyone brought in scraps and one person was in charge of keeping them. That way if someone needed a small piece of fabric, they cold look in the scrap or extra fabric box. Another thought for spreading the word about your group is if you make something to donate to nursing home, hospitals, animal shelters, etc. Nothing spreads the word like doing something nice to donate. Good luck
