Every guild is different and has its own "flavour". I belong to two guilds and both are very different but unique and interesting. My larger guild of 130 is more affluent and is able to afford more speakers while my smaller guild of 65 spends more time on hands on projects and round robin evenings of sharing tips and techniques. In both guilds, I have been privileged to meet wonderful, talented, caring women who are willing to share their skills, time and wisdom. As our guilds draw members from quite a large area, these are great people whom I would not have met in other places. I respect and appreciate all of them and have made many new friends and associates while learning so much. My advice - go and try out your local guild! We welcome visitors and have members assigned to show newcomers around.
