Attention Members:

Last week we previewed that the vendor of our temporary electricity generator will need to do routine maintenance on the generator every two weeks to ensure reliability. That servicing will happen this Friday morning, beginning at 6:00 AM. As a result, the Roxbury YMCA will have a delayed opening at 7:30 AM tomorrow, on Friday, August 21.

Day Camp and Early Education will be unaffected and begin at 7:30 a.m. as scheduled.

We appreciate your continued patience and flexibility as we complete this important preventative service and work to keep the Roxbury YMCA operating. A standby generator will be on site as a precautionary backup should it be needed during the service.

We look forward to seeing you on Friday!

Sincerely,

Winston Bodrick
Executive Director
Roxbury YMCA

Dear Members,

While we are eager to welcome you back to the Roxbury YMCA, the safety of our members and staff remains our highest priority.

Following recent power outages and ongoing concerns with the newly installed generator, our team has determined that it is not in the best interest of our members or staff to reopen the facility until we have a reliable and safe solution in place. Our team is currently reevaluating the situation and working to address these issues so that we can reopen the building safely and operate consistently.

As a result, the Roxbury YMCA will close on Sunday, 8/16, despite our previous communication regarding reopening.

We understand that this may be disappointing and appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these challenges. We will continue to provide facility updates and keep our members and the entire Roxbury YMCA community informed as we determine next steps.

Thank you again for your understanding, patience, and continued support.

Sincerely,
Winston Bodrick
Executive Director
Roxbury YMCA

Dear Members,

The Roxbury YMCA will be OPEN on Sunday, August 16 and operating under normal hours. Upon reopening, we experienced power outages due to temporary generator power as we work to restore the building to normal operations. The generator is now back up and running, and we are ready to welcome you back through our doors on Sunday.

As we continue to rely on generator power while we work to restore our permanent systems, generator maintenance will be required next Friday, August 21st and every second Friday thereafter, to ensure the generator is running safely and reliably. While we don’t expect an issue like we had today, this service will require delayed opening those days. We will communicate a specific opening time next week for these Friday mornings.

As previously noted, while the center is operating on generator power, members have access to the fitness center, gymnasium, locker rooms, and other spaces. The pool, showers, steam room, and sauna remain temporarily unavailable as we work to get the center back on grid electricity. Air conditioning in the gymnasium will also be returned when we reconnect to the electrical grid.

We will continue to send facility updates to keep our members and Roxbury YMCA family up to speed.

Thank you again for your understanding and continued support.

Sincerely,

Winston Bodrick
Executive Director

Dear Members,

This morning, Saturday August 15, the power went out at the Roxbury YMCA. We regained power shortly after, however power has gone out again this afternoon.

As our staff works diligently to restore power, the building will be closed until further notice. We will communicate with you as soon as we're able to open our doors again.

We sincerely appreciate your patience and flexibility as vendors work quickly to resolve the issue and get the Roxbury YMCA back up and running.

Thank you again for your understanding and continued support.

Sincerely,

Winston Bodrick
