City Council Regular Meeting Minutes August 9, 2005 Page 3 Mayor Faust pointed out a Councilmember is a member of the NYFS Board. He said a second fundraiser was recently completed. He asked Ms. Andrews to speak about a thrift store in Mounds View. 6 Ms. Andrews stated their thrift store, Penny Pinchers, is located at 2569 W. County Road 10 in 7 the Mounds View Square Mall. It is similar to Unique Thrift Store or Savers, but not yet as 8 profitable. People can bring used items such as clothing, household or furniture, and they will be 9 recycled through the thrift store. The people that shop there are often people who can benefit 10 from getting a bargain or those looking for a bargain. The store also serves as a job training site 11 for youth and adults. On September 8, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. there will be a grand reopening, 12 with ribbon cutting ceremonies at 4:30 p.m. The store is restructured and improved. 13 14 Mayor Faust commented that some of the employees are people that have received services from 15 the agency.
