This year's event schedule includes some new activities (an afternoon at Morey's Pier and picnic) as well as the continuation of our favorite traditions (evening vigil on the beach.) Most important, the hotel registration information has changed too! Although we're in the heat of summer, think about a cold dive this winter! The MALESW is pondering a fundraising Polar Bear Plunge in 2012. Keep your eyes and ears open for more information, coming soon. MALESW Photos

Mid-Atlantic Law Enforcement Survivors Weekend (MALESW) will take place from September 30 through October 2, 2011. It will be an amazing weekend where old friends get to see each other and new survivors become part of our close-knit family. Join us for this great weekend. Please note: Registration Deadline is August 5, 2011.

about MALESW

MALESW is unique in that it recognizes the truly forgotten heroes: the survivors of fallen law enforcement officers. Survivors include family members and co-workers. The weekend focuses on law enforcement survivors from the following states: New Jersey, New York, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. However, in past years we have honored the requests of families that reside in our region and hosted families from Georgia and Colorado, in addition to those from the Mid-Atlantic region. We are also different in that we recognize survivors from not just the current year, but those that were killed in the line of duty from the past. The event is hosted annually by the North Wildwood Police Department and is held in the seashore resort of North Wildwood, New Jersey. For more information, call 609-522-2411 or e-mail info@midatlanticsurvivors.org.
