We are a small but growing group of jigsaw puzzle fans here in the Portland area, and like most of you, none of us really have any interest in doing the same puzzle a second time. (And it always seems like such a shame to sell a perfectly good puzzle at a garage sale for twenty-five cents!)
The group started in 2006 and has been run by several sets of volunteers as previous coordinators have passed away or moved.
We get together every month at the Winona Grange Hall in Tualatin (our schedule rotates among third Sundays, third Mondays, and third Fridays to accommodate the most people — see When and Where page for schedule), and we trade our completed puzzles with our friends for ones we haven’t done yet.
Due to increased interest, a second Exchange was recently added in NE Portland at the Matt Dishman Community Center on the first Saturday of the month from 11 am – 1 pm.
The more folks we add, the more diverse the range of puzzles we’ll all have to work our way through.
