The guild I belong to has a quilt show every year and a condition of membership is to volunteer 2 3-hour shifts at the quilt show. The show goes for three days. We hang the quilts on Thursday and take them down on Sunday. I has been a chore to find people to be in charge but there doesn't seem to be a lack of helpers. Without the quilt show, I doubt we'd have a guild, the show pays the bills for speakers, meeting venue, etc. Our biggest money-maker seems to be our semi-annual auction where we donate stuff for us to buy back. This also requires a lot of woman-power and woman-hours.
