Partnership With Kiawanis

We would like to thank the President of Franklin Square Kiwanis Club, Gregg Cajuste for coming to the rescue! When I needed space for a humungous shipment of 12,000 jigsaw puzzles from #Thredup, the Kiwanis Club was kind enough to help provide space! There were so many boxes, but they were happy to help. We are thrilled that Puzzles To Remember has now partnered with Kiwanis! We are planning lots of events with them in the future! We are so grateful and appreciative!
