I was thinking about the problems that the guild was having and the comments about how large the guild was and that the BOD's were volunteers. In putting things into perspective, my home owners association for my neighborhood has a $2,000,000+ budget every year and is run by volunteers. We do however hire a professional management company to run the day to day operations. I pay roughly $1.00 per day for the privilege. With all that said I think the guild needs to pony up get a management company raise the membership dues to cover the amount and once we are out of the woods and the guild is back in the black then lower the dues accordingly. We will loose a few folks along the way. But if that is their level of commitment then we are better off without them.
