City Hall: 763−717−4000 City Website: www.ci.mounds-view.mn.us <br />February 2011 <br />Volume 1, Issue 3 <br />Penny Pinchers to Separate from NYFS <br />In the coming months Penny Pinchers will separate from Northwest Youth & Family Ser- <br />vices (NYFS) and become a stand alone 501C3 nonprofit organization. Penny Pinchers <br />has been located in the Mounds View Square shopping center since August of 2001. <br /> <br />This new, mutually beneficial arrangement will allow Penny Pinchers, Inc. to expand its <br />mission in the community and give NYFS additional flexibility in how it serves youth and <br />families. Donna Siech will continue as store manager and assume responsibility of oper- <br />ating the new legal entity. This transition is expected to be complete by June 30, 2011. <br /> <br />We want to assure you that our commitment to providing high-quality, low-cost used goods and serving youth is as <br />strong as ever. Penny Pinchers, Inc. will continue to partner with NYFS to serve youth through the Youth Employment <br />Training Program. <br /> <br />More details about the changes at Penny Pinchers will be available in coming weeks. Please contact Donna Siech at <br />763-783-3626 for more information. <br />Mounds View Community Thrift Store <br />We are excited to an- <br />nounce that Mounds <br />View Community Thrift <br />Store is now open!
