Oh I am so glad it turned out good for you .. I was involved in one (once along time ago) and had a very bad experience. No one wanted to talk to me, I was not even introduced as a new guest, but I did return for several more meetings and found out others were treated the same. So a year later I went back new guild president etc.. and was greeted with women who had monies and flaunted it. I was criticized for my meeting of block corners, my technique in general in front of the whole guild. I was floored ... SO needless to say I have nothing nice to say to about Guilds.
But I am so glad you are happy with yours ! I hope that it keeps that way and you learn many new things !
