The Atlantic District Officiating Program sent the following email message to all officials who were scheduled to attend the Atlantic District Officiating Seminars at Bridgewater and Wayne, NJ on Saturday, August 27:

All Participants:

We are still in the process of working out all the details to reschedule the two seminars postponed by Irene this weekend. Unfortunately with leagues starting to play earlier and earlier each year the ice availability is limited. We are working hard to come up with solutions for the program.

In the meantime, if you would like to go to another open seminar within the district you may do so by going back to the district WEB Page www.aaharefs.org and re-registering for the open seminar you can attend.

I want to thank all the officials who were scheduled to attend either of these two seminar for your understanding in this matter.

If you should have any questions, please contact Marty Maglio via email at: marty.maglio [at] verizon.net.
