with only 6-12 members I'd deep six the whole idea of officers and meet somewhere else.

Many small groups here on the board use the library.
Forget the guild idea, it is not just something to call yourselves, there are specific rules and regulations and tax considerations and the government involved. Do you gather to run a business, or to quilt?
