Reno YWCA closing after long history

Executive Director Sherri Rice said various financial problems are forcing the state's only YWCA affiliate to close Feb. 18.

"It's like a deck of cards falling," she said. "It is no one factor, it is all of them."

"The issues facing the YWCA are facing every non-profit," added Ann Cory, president of United Way of Northern Nevada.

The YWCA child-care center will operate until Jan. 14.
