The guild I use to belong to before moving the dues were $130 a year. No fundraising. The membership was about 90 members. About half came at any one time. We had great workshops, programs , bus rides to national shows, and very nice door prizes. When I was moving around for my job, I was dismayed to find most guilds are stuck on the $20 a year dues. No good programs, nothing new, just meet, eat, sew and go home. That is not a guild, it's a quilting group.
