Guild Memberships

Jan congratulations this is a well deserved honor. I have never heard of this before but I can think of one member in my guild that also deserves such an honor. Thank you for sharing this and all of your wonderful posts. You have been an inspiration to me.

Lifetime membership - wow! Good for you, and take advantage of it whenever you can.
By the way, you are anything but a "lesser talent"! I don't know you personally, but I see your skill, your tutorials and your kindness, to others on this board! You always have something good, helpful and positive to say when we need help. You definitely deserve the lifetime membership!

I used to belong to a quilt guild and even served as president and other positions on the Board of Directors, however, when I started working again, I could not make the meetings as they met in the morning, and I have not yet found another guild.

Sure sounds to me like you totally deserve that lifetime membership. Your generosity has been recognized & I'm happy that they honoured in this way. I'm glad you are able to take part in the meetings, even with an hour drive, so enjoy & let us know how things are. My guild has only 45 members but we enjoy ourselves & it's nice to meet with people that have the same hobby.

A little twist on guild info--just got home from my guild meetings today and 2things related to your post, Jan. One was our decision to sponsor a college scholarship for a student intending a major in a FACS related degree, in honor of your founder. and the 2nd is that our Beginning quilt class that starts in a little over a week is grown to 24 , and 15 of those are new to our Guild. From past experience, I know that of those 15, probably about half will not become active on-going members past this first year-but about 1/2 will jump in whole-hearted. I'd highly recommend other guilds wanting to increase interest in quilting-especially among younger people, consider offering basic classes as a free benefit of membership!
Opps--that should say OUR guild founder!
