What about Newcomer packets at FRCNA?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. Frcna es un evento remunerado, no una reunión de recuperación de NA. No hay paquetes indigentes, pagos parciales o opciones de donación. Los miembros individuales de nuestra beca contribuyen a los recién llegados al hacer una "donación recién llegada" cuando se registran en línea y / o registrarse en persona en persona. Un recién llegado se define como miembro de narcóticos anónimos de 90 días o menos. Se alienta a los centros de tratamiento a que lleguen al Comité de Registro por correo electrónico a registration@frcna.com. Discutiremos las opciones para facilitar el proceso de registro para todo el grupo con anticipación. Las listas de reuniones / horarios para reuniones locales están disponibles en nuestro sitio web y en la Convención. La reunión de Marathon es la única actividad de FRCNA abierta a los miembros que no están registrados para asistir a la Convención. No se requiere una insignia y solo tendrá acceso a la reunión de maratón y no la convención.

Why is Registration required?FRCNA is an exciting celebration of recovery. We believe in the principle of self-support, and that the financial responsibilities for FRCNA are shared by all who attend. This is how we ensure that this event is a gift of hope and not a financial burden on the Fellowship as a whole. Understand that the Convention incurs a great deal of expense. These expenses include the cost of the hotel convention meeting rooms/space for workshops, speakers, vendors, DJ’s for the dances, signs, printing of flyers, programs, items contained in the registration packets and merchandise. Additionally, most venues, hotels and facilities require that all participants be required to register for insurance purposes. It is our experience that once participants understand that, the cost of registration helps to make the event possible and all registration funds collected, are used solely for the planning of future FRCNA (Florida Regional Conventions of Narcotics Anonymous), then, the question “Why is Registration Required?” will be answered. The monies collected also help to carry the message to the still suffering addict. There are no 7th Tradition funds used for this event or collected separately during the Convention. We are truly "self-supporting". Your registration provides you access to the scheduled events, workshops, Main Speakers and activities that do not require a separate hard ticket. If you have any questions about registration, please email: registration@frcna.com. Frcna es una emocionante celebración de recuperación. Creemos en el principio de autosuficiencia, y que las responsabilidades financieras de FRCNA son compartidas por todos los que asisten. Así es como nos aseguramos de que este evento sea un regalo de esperanza y no una carga financiera para la comunión en su conjunto. Comprenda que la Convención incurre en gran parte de los gastos. Estos gastos incluyen el costo de las salas de reuniones del Convenio del hotel / de espacio para talleres, oradores, vendedores, DJ's para los bailes, letreros, impresión de folletos, programas, artículos contenidos en los paquetes de registro y mercadería. Además, la mayoría de los lugares, hoteles e instalaciones requieren que todos los participantes sean obligatorios para registrarse con fines de seguro. Es nuestra experiencia que una vez que los participantes entienden que, el costo de la inscripción ayuda a hacer posible el evento y todos los fondos de registro recopilados, se utilizan únicamente para la planificación del futuro FRCNA (Convenios Regionales de la Florida de Narcóticos Anónimos), entonces, la pregunta "¿Por qué? ¿Se requiere el registro? " será respondido. Los fondos recolectados también ayudan a llevar el mensaje al adicto al sufrimiento que aún sufren. No hay 7º fondos de tradición utilizados para este evento o recaudados por separado durante la convención. Somos verdaderamente "autosuficientes". Su registro le proporciona acceso a los eventos programados, talleres, oradores principales y actividades que no requieren un boleto difícil por separado. Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre el registro, envíe un correo electrónico: registration@frcna.com.
