That’s why every year the student service center in conjunction with AP English classes spearheads the annual MINNeola Macaroni night. This fundraiser benefits the Mary Brennan Inn, which is the largest Soup Kitchen on Long Island. All-you-can-eat pasta, salad, soda and desserts will be served. The event will take place on Thursday, February 13th from 5:30 to 7:15 PM at the high school, and it will cost $5 at the door. See Ms. Rudnet or Ms. O’Donnell for more information.
