Our speaker today was Tammy Moberg, Executive Director of Quincy House, which she helped found in 2015.  The house is in a residential neighborhood in Mounds View and exists to provide a place for at-risk teens in our school district to go for after-school activities, socializing, meals, and emotional support.  Our club toured the house during one of our regular meetings several years ago and we have maintained an ongoing connection with Tammy and her work.  Her comments today focused primarily on what has been happening during the pandemic.  Not surprisingly, it's been a difficult time.  They have lost a lot of volunteers because of Covid concerns so it has been hard to continue providing services that the kids had come to count on.  Recently they have decided to allow several older teens to live at the house to prevent them from becoming homeless and they have also recently been able to allow high school kids to return to the house for meals and activities after school.  They have also been granted permission to use gym space at the Mounds View Community Center for a group of middle-schoolers.  That group has continued to grow and there are now 50 kids meeting there regularly.  Tammy spoke very highly of the nearby residents on Red Oak Drive in Mounds View who have been very supportive of having Quincy House in their neighborhood, which says a lot about the quality of work that Tammy and her team of counselors and volunteers have been able to maintain.
