Mini-Golf Fundraiser is Sunday, July 20th!!
Attention Manorlu Families - this year our Mini-Golf Fundraiser is a family event! Mark your calendar and put together your foursome. The day will begin with a fun, slightly competitive round of mini-golf - followed by celebratory gathering afterward at Manorlu. This is an "all age group" event.
Please come out to support the pool and defray expenses while having fun. This year our fundraiser will with the cost of the new sand on the volleyball court (how nice is that new sand?!) as well as the unexpected tree and fence damage from the winter storms of 2014.
Feel free to bring friends - non-members are absolutely welcome! The afternoon begins at 2:00pm with a private mini-golf experience at the Horsham Family Golf Center (located at 1020 Easton Rd. Horsham, PA 19044.) After golf, the party continues at Manorlu with a dinner for golfers of burgers, hotdogs, chips and watermelon.
All funds generated will benefit Manorlu. A sign-up sheet is available at the front desk - please see the friendly lifeguard on duty. $15 for a single golfer, $30 per couple and $45 per family. Checks can be made to Manorlu. Can't make it to Manorlu to sign up? Just email us at mail@manorlu.com to RSVP.

The 2014 Adult Social is a Huge Hit!
Over 70 members and guests walked a tiki torch lined path to enjoy the 2014 Manorlu Luau & Pig Roast. The annual adult social was a fun evening for all. Games were played, delicious food and drink were consumed and friendships were renewed.
We welcomed back Mike "The Caterer" Connell who supplied a wonderful menu of pork, chicken, corn on the cob, roasted peppers, and salad to those attending.
A special thanks to Jim Doyle and Megan DiMaria for their efforts in planning this years event and to our managers and lifeguards for their help with setup, breakdown and of course, general monitoring of the event... not that any of the adults need monitoring... do they?!
It was a truly wonderful evening at our beautiful pool. Thanks to all who were able to join us this year.

Questionable weather? Wondering if the pool is still open?
In the event that we must unexpectedly close the pool due to lots of rain, thunderstorms, or heaven forbid - an accident in the baby pool, a text alert (or and email, if you prefer) will be sent to all subscribers with a Manorlu update. For those who may be familiar - Rained Out is the same service used by the Upper Dublin Soccer Club to notify members of field closures. It's free (text messaging rates apply) and only takes two minutes to sign up using this link:
https://www.rainedout.net/team_page.php?a=f36c9c68fb58df82270b
How often and what kind of messages can you expect to receive? Hopefully we will have a sunny summer and the pool will close infrequently, but here is a sample of possibilities:
- Pool closed for weather (may seem obvious, but it can be raining in Dresher and sunny in Abington... and who wants to make the drive to find the pool closed!)
- Reminder for Manorlu events such as the 4th of July celebration, the Adult Social, Sunday Sundaes, and more.
- Reminder for pool closing for home swim meets
(Note for swim/dive team families: To receive notification of general pool closures and happenings, you must sign up using this link. It is a different account. It covers all Manorlu members and is different from the swim/dive team account. For non-swim/dive team families: This account will not be used to communicate general swim/dive team information.)
Please contact mail@manorlu.com if you have any questions.

Manorlu Sports Equipment
Manorlu has sports equipment available to members at the front desk. To borrow the equipment, just leave one dollar with the life guard while you play and get your dollar back when you return the equipment. We have basketballs, jump ropes, kick balls, volleyballs, shuffle board gear and more. Enjoy playing on the beautiful Manorlu grounds without lugging your sports gear with you.
Let's Have a Party!
Looking for somewhere to host a private graduation, birthday or anniversary party? Like to have a non-private family, team or other group outing? Consider the gorgeous grounds of Manorlu Swim Club! There are many options available. As the Board of Directors continues to look for new ways to show off our pool and generate funds, the pool may be made available on a very limited basis (once or twice a year) for a private function. Interested in any type of party at Manorlu? Please email mail@manorlu.com and we’d be happy to discuss this with you and help make it happen!
Clean Bathrooms are Our Goal
It is always our intention to have the cleanest possible bathrooms available to our members. The lifeguards and managers check and clean the bathrooms several times a day; however, it is possible that a bathroom can get "icky" very quickly. Please help the guards and manager-on-duty by reporting any bathroom messes to the front desk. Thank you!
