I find that there are no longer "Bees" that they all go under the Guild name. I belong to a bee, that is about 18 people and love it. We meet once a month, have a lesson and lunch and have a great time. I feel like I know the ladies in that Bee. Then I belong to the large Pensacola Guild. There are two meetings a month, a day and a night meeting. We are said to be cliquish. But I find that visitors come and sit and don't interact. A Guild is like a large church. If you don't meet in small groups or join, you will never find friends. You can't meet anyone by sitting by them once a month and only exchanging pleasantries and small talk. So my advice for anyone that finds a guild too big. Join a class, volunteer and meet others.
