Sacred Paths Center’s Executive Director Teisha Magee issued a statement by email today:
“After much heartache, soul-searching and tears, it has become clear that Sacred Paths Center cannot continue. Our expenses are too high in this location and we are just not getting enough money coming through the door. All of our resources are tapped, and our volunteers are worn out.”
Teisha states the center will be closing its doors by the end of May 2012. A public announcement will follow later.
PNC Minnesota will provide follow up information as it is publicly released.
