Yahoo News, July 9, 2009, reports that a group of African American kids were denied access to a suburban Philadelphia private swim club that their group had contracted with for weekly use this summer because of complaints from certain members. And to make matters worse, the Swim Club thereafter refunded the money paid by the group after they had relied to their obvious detriment by contracting with this swim club instead of others and said the decision was not based on "race". If this is true, it is an Outrage !

"County Recurrent" wishes there was something we could do to provide an alternate pool facility for these kids. This cannot happen.
We are shocked, outraged and heart broken and are praying that a resolution will happen quickly.
Sincerely,
"County Recurrent" News
