Announcing NJ Reefers 2014 Frag Swap & Conference
Greetings fellow reefers! We are getting closer to our frag swap and just wanted to give you all a huge update on what is going on. We have officially announced our three speakers, Luiz Rocha, John “Copps” Coppolino, and Morgan Moore. For those of you who cannot make it this year, Luiz Rocha is the keynote speaker for MACNA in Denver, so come listen to him on the east coast. For those that missed MACNA last year, both John and Morgan spoke at MACNA in Miami so we have an amazing cast of speakers this year.

Stay tuned for our raffle items and other cool announcements.
Can we set up a table also is it for paying vendors? What is the cost for a table if they are available?
Well that was quick we have now sold out the vendor floor. There may be some shuffling so keep your eyes open, but here is our floor plan:
We would also like to make sure you saw the huge announcement that World Wide Corals is going to be putting on RAP New York right here in New Jersey (looks like they are following our football team names). They are going to be at our swap, with a booth for WWC and a booth for RAP. We are really excited to be working with them and having them come to our swap. Here is the press release in case you all missed it:

Anyone can setup a booth, but as of right now we are full. We are going to open a waiting list if you want to be on it, just let me know. The booths are 275$
With all the room this place has you don’t have a very large area? Seems like most swaps don’t allow hobby swappers? Like ours?

We essentially do two types of swaps. The first one is the one like we are doing this year, with a bunch of different vendors and speakers from around the country. Next year we will have our second type of swap which is a true swap. We like to have both to let everyone get a chance. Hopefully we will see you at both.
Anyone from the club going to NJRC swap tomorrow?
