What about a Saturday sewing day where all you do is work on charity quilts? Or maybe a retreat? Take pictures and put an article in your newsletter about it.

I belong to both a quilt club and several guilds. For our quilt club (not technically a non-profit, since we are a club in a adult community), we have a charity group that meets once a week. As far as the guilds go, they have smaller groups that either donate fabric, material, and/or time (i.e making blocks or pillowcases) to a nonprofit (one example, QOV) or make their own quilts and items that they donate to a group of their choice (like a homeless, domestic violence, or teen group).

I'd like to thank all of you for your input. I emailed a copy of this thread to the members of my guild, along with some of my own suggestions. So far I've only heard from a few members, but the responses have all been positive. Hopefully, it will lead to an open discussion and positive changes to the way we do things. Thank you!
