The Souderton Pool has been a key element to the quality of life in Souderton and the surrounding communities the 1920s. As you can see from the undated photo, the pool was originally a pond with a beach.

In the 1950s, the community came together and supported the construction of the exisitng pool.

After more than a half century of use, it is time to upgrade and update the facility to meet current needs. A local group of volunteers are working with Souderton Borough Council and the  YMCA to find the funds to keep the Souderton Pool splashing for several more generations.

Check out their website and post the sign in your window to show your support.  Learn more about how you and your famiy can support the beloved pool and the memories that are created there.

WASHINGTON -- Small businesses suffering financial hardship as a result of the slow economy may be eligible to receive temporary relief to keep their doors open and get their cash flow back on track through to a new loan program announced by SBA Administrator Karen G. Mills.

Beginning on June 15, SBA will start guaranteeing America's Recovery Capital (ARC) loans. ARC loans are deferred-payment loans of up to $35,000 available to established, viable, for-profit small businesses that need short-term help to make their principal and interest payments on existing qualifying debt.
