We enjoying 1000-2000 piece jigsaw puzzles. Just finished a 1500 puzzle. Anyone interested in forming an exchange group. We usually purchase good quality puzzles, make them once, and take them apart. Hate to throw away good puzzles.

News Flash! No one publicizes this but there is a jigsaw puzzle EXCHANGE at Lake Miona Regional Rec Center. I saw it recently in a back room so I called to inquire and I was told it is an open exchange: as long as you bring one, you can take one! Spread the word!

Hubby has over 60 1000 piece White Mountain puzzles in our guess closet!!! He loves doing jigsaw puzzles and would be interested. Agree...we buy quality puzzles and it's a shame that they just sit there. Feel free to private message me with any info.

thanks for the info. We visited the 'back room' at Miona and they do have a supply of puzzles to borrow. They ask you to leave one puzzle before you take one.

If anyone wants to donate some puzzles to a good cause, the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa would be happy to receive them.

The waiting time in many of the clinics, and especially in the Infusion Center, can be long. Patients and their family members like to have something to occupy their time. Many of the clinics have tables devoted to jigsaw puzzles.

Is there a way we can donate them without driving all the way to Tampa?

Thanks

Do they have different piece size puzzles - 300, 500, 1000, etc?

Good question. When I was getting radiation at RBI, there was always a puzzle on a table for us to work on while we were waiting for treatment.
