FROM BLUFFTON CAMPUS LIFE FACEBOOK__YFC directors made the decision on July 16 to suspend the pool party next week as a warning to all students about their behavior.
YFC will always seek to create a safe place for all students that parents can trust. While most students who attend our pool parties act with good character, a few do not respect the facilities or others.
If behavior problems continue, we will suspend all pool parties for the summer and possibly in the future.
