You know, for kids:
We're expanding our children's progamming this year with more fun, more excitement, and more stuff so awesome we dare not say it out loud. In fact, sharp-eyed readers will note that the page is incomplete. Fear not! Watch this space for updates as we roll out our programming over the next few days.

We love to give: Our annual charity
efforts seek to help a local North Texas group that can effect positive change in our
community. Our designated charity for FenCon VII is Carter
BloodCare, Texas' largest blood center, providing more than 330,000 units of lifesaving blood
components for patients annually. Learn more on our 2010 charity page. |

FenCon is of the fen, by the fen, and for the fen.
Party people: Want to throw a party at FenCon? You must let us know
first so we can make sure you're on the "party floor". Any parties that are not on
the second floor may be shut down by the hotel. If you are throwing a party, send a note to
hotel@fencon.org and include your name, your confirmation
number, and what your party is for. This will also allow us to promote your party in the at-con
newsletter.
Spread the word: Need to tell
friends, neighbors, and folks you meet about FenCon? Our top scientists have devised
the "FenCon Color Flyer" for online distribution
and the "FenCon Monochrome Flyer" for
printing on light blue or green paper, both in a handy PDF format, to fill this
understandable desire. |
