Ask not what the guild can do for us ask what we can do for the guild. What if members rallied to build something for the guild, at first a structure the size of a large grange hall with an office at a permanent location in new england. I think a location that could hold monthly gatherings for one day with just one or two subjects covered would draw many people. It would be hard to ask everybody to sacrifice time in this economy but it would be an investment in future savings for ourselves and future generations.
