Question 1

What about Newcomer packets at FRCNA?

Accepted Answer

FRCNA is a paid event, NOT an NA recovery meeting. There are no indigent packages, partial payments, or donation options.Individual members of our fellowship contribute to newcomers by making a "Newcomer Donation" when they pre-register online and/or register in person on- site. A newcomer is defined as a member of Narcotics Anonymous with 90 days or less.Treatment Centers are encouraged to reach out to the Registration committee via email at registration@frcna.com. We will discuss options to facilitate the registration process for the entire group in advance.Meeting lists/schedules for local meetings are available on our website and at the Convention. The Marathon meeting is the only FRCNA activity open to members who are not registered to attend the Convention. No badge is required and you will only have access to the Marathon meeting and not the Convention.

Question 3

Why is Registration required?

Accepted Answer

FRCNA is an exciting celebration of recovery, built on the principle of self‑support. We believe that the financial responsibility for this event is shared by all who attend, ensuring that FRCNA remains a gift of hope rather than a burden on the Fellowship as a whole.Hosting a convention of this size involves significant expenses. These include hotel and convention meeting space, workshops, speaker rooms, vendor areas, DJs for dances, signage, printed materials, registration packet items, and merchandise. In addition, most venues require all participants to be registered for insurance and liability purposes.Once participants understand that registration fees make the convention possible — and that every dollar collected is used solely to plan future FRCNAs — the question “Why is registration required?” becomes clear. Registration also helps us carry the message to the still‑suffering addict. NO 7th Tradition funds are used for this event, nor are they collected during the convention. We are truly self‑supporting.Your registration provides access to all scheduled convention events, workshops, main speakers, dances, and activities that do not require a separate hard ticket, i.e., banquet, comedy or other entertainment. If you have any questions about registration, please email: registration@frcna.com.

Question 4

Do you offer child care during the convention?

Accepted Answer

Please note that FRCNA does not offer childcare, and neither our representatives, BOD members, nor volunteers are able to supervise children or provide childcare. Parents and guardians are fully responsible for their children at all times, and all minors must remain with an adult during the Convention.We kindly remind everyone that we represent Narcotics Anonymous. Responsible behavior is expected, and any damages resulting from issues or incidents will be the responsibility of the parent or guardian.If you have any questions, please email registration@frcna.com or contact a Convention committee member and they will assist you.

Question 5

Do I have to register my child(ren)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, everyone attending the Convention must wear a badge and/or wristband.Children aged 13 and under may receive specially marked children’s badges or wristbands at no charge, available at the Registration desk.Children over the age of 13 must have a full registration badge to access the Convention and any badge‑required activities.All children must also have the appropriate ticket or wristband to enter any hard‑ticketed events such as the banquet, comedy show, and similar activities.
We appreciate your cooperation with our volunteers, Serenity Keepers, and Support Committee and BOD Members who monitor the doors for workshops, Main Speakers, and ticketed events. Enjoy the Convention. If you have any questions, please email registration@frcna.com or contact a Convention committee member and they will assist you.
