Macybaby...that was my experience with one of the guilds in town.
With another guild, they had an Open House day so I went as they were going to have retailers there and I found everyone so welcoming! I ended up going to a meeting, thinking it was too good to be true, but no...people were really nice and I became a member and have been involved in teaching part of a seminar.
So...if another opportunity to try out a guild comes along, give it a shot!
