I agree about the quilt dues. My guild has a $25 a year dues. I think that is ridiculous. I have brought up raising the dues to cover all our expenses and have fundraising be for extras. The treasurer did the numbers and said our dues would have to be raised to $40 per member. The members voted it down, said it was too much. So now we have the President begging everyone to help with fundraising events which no one wants to be in charge of.
