Riley Clifton

This week Thursday will be Riley’s last day with us here at Twos. Riley came two us as a College Freshman based on a great recommendation from Twos member Cathy Jo Kuzma, and has been a great member of our team for the past five years. She will be missed by all of us, however we are very happy for her, and are confident that she is going to do great!

She will be moving to Michigan two begin her new job as an Event Coordinator for “Laurel’s Princess Parties”. You can keep up with Riley by following “Laurel’s Princess Parties” on Facebook.

THANK YOU Riley!
