White Glove - White glove volunteers assist attendees if they would like to look at the back of quilts. Attendees are NOT allowed to touch the quilts due to oils/dirt on hands. White glove volunteers "patrol" an area to keep attendees from touching or handling items. White Glove volunteers can answer questions about quilting (if they are comfortable with that) but it is NOT a requirement. Chairs will be available. (2 hours shifts this year.) White gloves are supplied by the Foundation.
Tear Down Crew - Tear down crew will assist Foundation Coordinator to carefully and correctly removing quilts from displays to not cause damage or mix up items. Training session will begin at 3:30 to make process easy. Guild, Individual Hoffman Challenge displays, and Special Displays will all be removed per the Foundation Coordinator.
