3) Our Charity – the NJSPCA
We’re proud to announce the NJSPCA will be returning for a 4th year as
our charity! Since 1868, the officers of the NSJCA (the second oldest
SPCA in the country) have been protecting animals and investigating and
prosecuting animal abusers. They are funded entirely solely through
donations, grants and the money generated through fines against animal
abusers.
Help the NJSPCA, and raise money for funding the NJSPCA so they can
carry out their tradition of saving lives and ending animal abuse.
They're a great group of people willing to put their lives on the line
for our four legged, flying and slithering friends.
4) The New Hotel, the Hanover Marriott
FAU has a new hotel. With completely renovated room, gorgeous, spacious
convention halls, the new hotel has over three times the space of our
former hotels. That means more room to play, more room to hangout and
more rooms for events!
Rooms are still available, but the deadline to reserve rooms is August
2nd! Don’t delay! Lock in your reservation for FAU 5 today!
