NJSFAC Annual EMS Convention to Be Held
Trade show, symposium scheduled for October 14-17 at Split Rock Resort The New Jersey State First Aid Council will hold its 2010 convention Oct. 14-17 at the Split Rock Resort in Lake Harmony, PA. The annual event will feature a weekend-long trade show and more than two-dozen seminars approved for CEUs in New Jersey through the EMT Training Fund. Pennsylvania EMTs also may use the seminars for recertification CEUs.
The 81-year-old nonprofit NJSFAC represents more than 20,000 EMS volunteers affiliated with hundreds of first aid and rescue squads throughout the state “Everything is conveniently available on-site,” said Dick Krane, NJSFAC convention manager. In addition to the council’s business meeting and officer elections, the event also will include the annual ambulance driving competition and a tricky tray auction. Friday’s gala will feature a Hawaiian theme, and live entertainment will follow Saturday’s dinner.
The resort offers an indoor water park, 27 holes of championship golf, an 18-hole miniature golf course, two indoor pools, three indoor tennis courts and eight outdoor courts, racquetball, volleyball, a fully equipped fitness center, massage center, whirlpools, steam rooms, video arcade, billiards room, 8-lane bowling alley, movie theater and gift shop, all on site.
“Our convention is one of the few remaining sources of elective EMT Training Fund-approved CEUs,” Krane said. “EMTs can obtain several of the required credits in one weekend through our myriad of fun, informative seminar offerings, and still have time to relax.” For more information and registration forms, visit www.njsfac.org, or contact Dick Krane at (201) 390-0892 or dickkrane@aol.com.
The convention will return to New Jersey in 2011 and 2012, Krane said. The venue will be the Taj Mahal hotel in Atlantic City.
