Welcome to PowerShell it can be a bit confusing. Basically you have a function but no main Script. I suggest the following:
Put your prompt for the group out of the function and have it in a do while loop that exits if q is entered.

Functions are always defined at the beginning of the script so your Main script starts after the functions are created. https://adamtheautomator.com/powershell-functions/ provides some good information on how to create a function and pass it information.
