our guild introduces new members at the meeting and posts their pictures in the next newsletter. We give each new member a handmade "luggage" tag to use as a name tag until they make their own quilt block name tag so you can spot the new people if they wear the tag. We also have a "bee keeper" who introduces herself to the new members and helps them find a small group "bee" that works with their schedule or helps them start a new bee if necessary. Every year there is a new member tea and the officers and committee chairs introduce themselves and the new members all get to meet each other.
