Hey Shellarah welcome to GC! I'm also in a local and we get our badges from Masters of Design. They're gold clad and cost about $22.50 each. I know we get a quantity discount if we order a bunch of them at once. We've been getting our badges from them for many years now so I dunno anything about the set up fee or designing it or anything like that, but just contact the Legacy division at MoD and they should be able to help you. As far as new member pins, since the new members don't keep theirs, we would never need more than like 15 of them at a time, so for that reason we can't get a jeweler to make them for us. We just get small fake Morning Glories (our flower) and put them on safety pins for the girls to wear. Good luck with everything!
