2. To the Montclair
Parents,Hello. For those of you who do not know me, i am Alexandra Duenas and my daughter Juliana is on the Montclair Swim
team. I have plans to exercise in Brookdale Park while my daughter, Juliana, is swimming at the Montclair Beach Club.
However, exercising with other people seems like it would be fun, so I am inviting everyone out there who is interested,
to come exercise with me from 6:20-8:00 am. while your sons/daughters are swimming. It would be a great time to get to know
everyone and have a good time while burning off those extra calories. We will be biking, running, or walking. We will meet
at the Brookdale Park entrance on Bellevue Ave. I hope to have a great time. If you are interested or if you have any
questions, contact me.
Thank You,
Alexandra Duenas
