Remember the suburban Philadelphia swim club charged with discrimination last summer after revoking the memberships from the mostly Black and Hispanic Creative Steps Day Camp for children? Well, they are now headed for bankruptcy.
John Duesler, President of Valley Swim Club sent an e-mail to club friends and families on Friday saying the board of directors voted to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy this week. Duesler acknowledged that although the bankruptcy decision is loosely related to legal proceedings and negative media exposure from the discrimination charges, he said “the truth is that the club has struggled to stay out of the red for at least the last decade” and owes more than $100,000 in operational expenses and legal fees. Duesler added that members “are all tired and beaten down and just sickened by how our club has been improperly portrayed. After speaking to many members, my sense is that mostly everyone wants to move on.”
THIS IS TOTAL KARMA. WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND!
