I would check further. Our guild's fee is 25.00 yearly. But sadly, it has increased the fee for a few members who do not have an email address for which to receive their newsletter. We also have promotions, raffles, block exchanges , show and tell. And fat quarter exchange. Members take turns providing refreshments. One a year a small donation is made to the church where we meet. In the fall, fabric is bought in by members and we have a sew-in. The quilts made are for charity. Although a member can make a charity quilt any time. So, yes, check into the fee, or make a suggestion of a flat yearly fee. Maybe it's time for some changes.
