TrueFan: Jane EasterlyFounder and DirectorJane is an amazing reference librarian who lives in west central Illinois, and the world’s biggest fan of Dal! She founded PUDDLE in 2008 to share her love of Dal (and Pullip) with other fans. In the months before PUDDLE, Jane has a part in every major decision and is in charge of handling funds, making hotel arrangements, collecting donated items, communicating with sponsors, working with our artist, making items for the gift bags, and much much more. At PUDDLE, Jane can be found making announcements, taking photos, and entering contests. |

CornflowerBlue: Jess LeBarWhatever Needs DoingJess lives in Ohio, works for NASA, and has a large Groove collection. She is a great seamstress and customizer. She helps out with whatever needs doing, including assembling the gift bags, checking people in, sorting, organizing, and fixing things, and taking photographs to be sent to magazines. Her common sense is invaluable when making decisions about PUDDLE. |

Everyone elseHelping with everything else!You can help in many ways: with set up and clean up, by table hosting, donating items, judging contests, and running panels/ workshops, and in ways too numerous to count! If you are attending PUDDLE this year and would like to contribute, let us know how you can help. The fun of PUDDLE would not be possible without dozens of people contributing time, materials, and money. Thank you to everyone past and present who has contributed so much to building our community. |
