In addition, membership will cover fees when we need to rent meeting space and discounted tickets/first priority to any outside speakers or special events. Your DC MQG membership will also get you into our guild's swaps, bees, the ability to register for guild retreats and the ability to register for guild sponsored workshops.

For existing members, dues must be paid by August 31st to maintain good standing status. New members may attend two meetings, after which they will need to pay dues to continue membership. Dues will cover membership through June.
-
If you have attended two DC MQG events, you will not be able to attend our regular meetings or receive member benefits from association with our group or the MQG unless you pay dues or have been granted a scholarship. After August 31st members that have not renewed are removed from the national MQG register.
-
We have a scholarship fund available to prospective and renewing members on a case by case basis. If you’d like to request more information or funding, please email the Treasurer at dcmqgtreasurer@gmail.com with your request ahead of the deadline for dues.
-
All sewing days and membership meetings are included in the dues. Additional events such as a guild-hosted speaker or a workshop will be subsidized by the guild as it can (i.e. member price vs. nonmember price, or member only registration), but participants in the event will be responsible for any additional fees when it is not possible for the entire guild to be invited. For instance, if a retreat can only hold 20 attendees, the guild will assist in planning and paying retreat space deposits, but will not subsidize attendance since not all members are able to attend.
