I belong to 2 guilds, one $20 and one $24....with 50 members it gives us enough to cover lunch supplies, newletter paper and ink and to get a good teacher about once/year. We do the annual fair quilt with everyone contributing blocks and time spent at our quilt exhibit. The $20/year has a quilt show every other year and that money is used for teachers etc, but everyone does not participate in all the classes. it seems it gets less every year and I think its because of the been/there/done/that thing. I know I feel like that alot about classes....
