1st Annual AMS Officia-thon

We've set the date for our 1st Annual AMS Officia-thon! It's going to be Saturday morning, April 18th. The location and exact timing will be forthcoming.

The Officia-thon is designed to give us the opportunity to:

• get our group together in one place and time on a more informal basis where we are permitted to wear something other than blue and white (though if you really love blue and white you can knock yourself out);
• unveil our new training regimen for Referees, Starters, Admin Officials, Stroke & Turn. These breakout sessions will be simultaneous but will also be given throughout the year as Officials Clinics so that you can attend more than one. The initial schedule for Clinics will be made available, as well;
• have some time after the training sessions to gather socially; and
• announce/present the Jamy Pfister Official of the Year Award.

We're looking forward to getting together on the 18th. Any questions, please contact Bob Mermelstein at bob.mermelstein@gmail.com.

By the way, AMS will be holding its Swimposium on September 19th in partnership with USA Swimming. There will be a myriad of speakers, including a nationally prominent Official, as we did three years ago. More details to follow.
