Yes. In fact more than one.
One group is fairly small, between 40-60 members most of the time. We meet once a month in the evening. Schedule is socializing, and such for a bit. Then a quick business meeting, drawing for BOM and such. Then our program, usually a speaker or trunk show or such. Short break, door prize drawings and show and tell.
The monthly newsletter is available on line, or you can request a mailed copy. A couple of times a year we bring in a "national" teacher for the program and a workshop the next Saturday. We also schedule a couple of retreats each year. And will be trying to get our quilt show schedule back on track. (Lost our venue for a while. Been researching a replacement and so on.)
We do quilts for AASK (Arizona Adoption of Special Kids) as our primary charity work. But are also doing Quilts of Valor.
The other guild is the big "state-wide" guild. It has over 2,000 members and over 40 chapters all over the state. (Tucson also has a big guild and has opted out of the "state" guild, but Tucson quilters can still join the guild.... and we have a lot of "part time Arizonans in the guild. <G>)
I do belong to one of the Chapters, not all guild members do (some are "Members at large".) My chapter has about 30-40 people in it. And I am this years Chapter Chair.
We meet weekly, in the morning. One week we have some sort of "class" taught by one of the members usually. You can also bring other things to work on if you prefer. One week is sort of "dedicated" to UFOs, one to Applique. The last week of the month is our business meeting. And if there are 5 meetings in a month the 4th is a "Charity" day. (We do quilts for several different hospitals, shelters and so on. We have also pledged a quilt to every Arizona family who has had someone fall in the line of duty in Iraq/Afghanistan. )
The big guild only "meets" twice a year, the Fall and Spring meetings. The board meets monthly to deal with business. And hosts a yearly quilt show. (Averaging over 325 quilts each year.)
You have to belong to the big guild to belong to any of the chapters. and stuff can get a little complex if you want details. <G> But it all has to do with insurance and liability and such. The big guild is a business and deals with thousands of dollars each year so the business parts are important. But not everyone has to deal with that. <VBG>
There are lots of chapters all over the state. More are being formed all the time. And a few disperse. Almost anyone can find a chapter to fit their needs/desires.
There are also other quilt groups in the area, in "Parks" and such, as well as at Senior/Adult Centers and more.
We are really fortunate here in Arizona, especially the Phoenix Metro area.
