Happy Wednesday! We hope this newsletter finds you and your family safe and well. It seems in a blink of an eye we are coming to the end of Ramadan ("Eid Mubarak") and Memorial Day Weekend. Time moves strangely during shutdown. As New Jersey enters Phase 1 of reopening, we are anticipating the Y's reopening, hopefully this summer. We have put together a brief survey and ask you to take a moment to give us your feedback so we can incorporate it into our planning. We are working hard to welcome you back safely. Until we see you again, Take care. We miss you. Stay Safe.

THOUGHTS TURN TO REOPENING

WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK ON REOPENING

The YMCA of Montclair's Phase One reintroduces our community to using the YMCA under new COVID-19 restrictions. Phase One limits all activities to individual level activities. The YMCA will implement social or physical distancing practices in all operations during this phase by controlling the number of members allowed in the facility, facility/indoor traffic patterns, re-arranging physical areas and fitness equipment, and placing trained staff in each location where there is more than one member to monitor and enforce all social distancing protocol and policies.
