Pool+Closings

The City has been boasting about pools that will be open this summer. But the reality is that at least 25 pools in neighborhoods all around the City that our children have used for years to get a little relief from the heat, are scheduled to be shut. The Coalition for Essential Services is demanding that this decision be revoked. Here's a way for you to have your voice heard on this issue. HOLD A DEMONSTRATION at your pool! Last week Betty Buford, a CES member, and a neighbor who lives near the Chew pool, did just that. And FOX 29 noticed. Go here to see the great coverage of the neighborhood outrage at Chew: []? cat=site&q=chew%20pool Betty wants to help you get your voice heard. Let's show people all around the City that we're not fooled into accepting sharp cutbacks as a time to celebrate. Call Betty, at 215-917-1349, and she'll help you help the kids and parents in your neighborhood to be heard. 12th and Cambria 39th and Olive Amos – 1817 N. 16th Baker - 5431-43 Lansdowne Ave. Barry - 1800 Johnston St., 18th and Johnston Streets Cione - 2600 East Aramingo Ave Dendy - 10th & Oxford Fishtown - 1202-32 E.
