Okay, so you are telling me that there were/are Jewish members of Racquets Club?
I lived near Racquets Club as well. I know they started accepting Catholics only during my childhood, maybe 35 years ago or so, maybe 40 years ago. Until then, no Catholics (and certainly no Jews, people of color, etc.)
I'm not sure if the Short Hills Club even accepts Catholics to this day! I know they didn't when I was a kid in the 80s, and again, no Jews, people of color, either)
Still as wrong as you always were. There were no people of color living in Millburn or Short hills at that time so to say they didn't accept them again is a lie there is no way of knowing. As for the 80's again you're wrong .Seriously your ignorance of the situation is laughable
Again we didn't live near it, we lives across the street from it.
We were members and went to school at St Rose in 1963 and I could easily name 5 other families I know of who were Catholic and belonged the The Raccquets Club and at least two Jewish families. .

That's interesting that you know of 2 Jewish families that belonged to Racquets Club.
It was my understanding that Short Hills Club and Racquets Club didn't accept Jews.
There certainly were people of color living in Millburn/Short Hills 40 years ago because I was there; there was a minority of Asian-Americans in the town.

What about the 60's and 70's ???
As has been previously stated your understanding is incorrect.
Call who? The clubs?
They won't *admit* to being restricted! smh
They will simply say that they are only open to members who are "invited" by other members.
And guess who somehow never gets invited??
Please do . Fact is in the 50's ,60's and 70's Short Hills was almost 45% Catholic as opposed as of today.
Moderator cut: link removed, competitor site. I can guarantee there were Clubs in Short Hills in the 50's ,60's and 70's and there were Catholics and Jewish in them.
