A light of possibility


Dear Oaklyn Swim Club Members,

Last night, April 29th, was a meeting to discuss the possible opening of the Oaklyn Swim Club this summer.  The Mayor is working on possible grants and other avenues for future years to make the pool viable again not only for the members but as a benefit for the entire town.  Our concern is this coming season and our community going elsewhere to swim.   Having the club close its doors is a great loss for all in the community, regardless whether you are a member or not.  It is also a loss for the surrounding communities that come to our town for the swim club!

With that in mind, there is a possibility that together we can make this season happen.  There is a final meeting Thursday, May 9th to determine the interest in the swim club opening,   It is crucial that you attend the meeting on May 9th if you want the swim club to open.  There is a 165 room capacity in the Court room upstairs (where the meeting will be held)…and we need Swim club members from Oaklyn and surrounding towns to come and express how important the swim club is to their family.  We need to reach capacity so if you are wondering if you, 1 person,  will make the difference coming out,  yes  it matters…please attend!!

Please come out Thursday, May 9th, 7pm in the court room (upstairs in the borough hall, 2nd floor) to discuss this coming season at the Oaklyn Swim Club!
