Chaminade Athletic Center to Open Sunday Offering Heat and Power

As power is slowly being restored to Mineola, the Marianist brothers at Chaminade High School are opening the school doors Sunday, not just for students, but as a haven to alumni and neighbors who might be affected by Hurricane Sandy.

In a Nov. 3, 2012 letter, Chaminade President Bro. Thomas Cleary, S.M., noted that the school’s activities and athletic center on Jericho Turnpike would be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday to provide electricity and heat for those who may require the assistance.

A notice on the school website also noted that coffee would be available.

“You, or your neighbors, are welcome to come and re-charge any electronic equipment and/or warm yourselves up,” Cleary wrote.

A decision about whether or not the school would be open on Monday, November 5 had not yet been made and that a decision would be posted on the school’s website on Sunday afternoon. The school has been closed since October 29, only having power recently restored.
