My quilt guild is $25.00. I heard comments from officers about how $ is used in the guild. One of the big pushes is to bring good instructors in for a lecture, and then a class which we pay individually. Teachers are increasing their prices. Airline's have increased airfare, Hotels increased their fee, all in all some changes have to be made. Do you increase your dues, or class fees? How much does your quilt show bring in $ along with the donation quilt? It has many tiers and there are lots of weigh ins on the best thing to happen. But in the long run, we all have to contribute.
