Welcome, Fetish Fair Fleamarket 44 Attendees! The Fetish Fair Fleamarket (FFF) 44 finds us returning to our new home in Warwick, RI. The FFF was started 22 years ago by Cecelia Tan—please stop by her vending room and check out her books, Circlet Press has a lot of great works to offer. Some time ago Cecelia generously granted the rights to all FFFs in New England to the New England Leather Alliance (NELA), but there’s more to NELA than just the FFFs. NELA is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to making a safe place in the world for all leather / fetish / BDSM people through education, advocacy, and charitable giving. NELA uses the FFFs to not only provide education and community group involve- ment at the event, but also as the financial engine to support our work through the whole of the year. NELA's educational programming and SIG meetings continue year-round, so come out to see us throughout the year. You can find us at most New England Prides—come visit our booth, or better yet, march with us! You can support NELA in other ways, too—you can get involved with NELA! Not a NELA Associate yet? Has your time expired? Come by our table all weekend and get or update your NELA Associates Benefit Card (ABC) which entitles you to free or reduced-rate admission to NELA events throughout New England, discounts on merchandise from a number of vendors, and discounts to get into many other non-NELA events. Revenue from the NELA merchandise we offer in return for donations also supports our work, so if you get yourself a spiffy new NELA t-shirt, hoodie, mug, or lunch box, you’re helping to support our charitable and advocacy giving. Our work is never finished, and there are never enough hands – want to help out at more than just the Flea? Come to our NELA Board meetings (currently the 3rd Thursday of each month – see the NELA Calendar, https://nelaonline.org/about-us/calendar, for more details) and find out what we’re doing and how you can help. And that’s the most important part—helping. Our charitable giving and our support of a number of special programs help build our community. We support other worthwhile organizations both at home and across the country like The Network/La Red, AIDS Care Ocean State (see them in Room 101 Saturday and Sunday for free HIV and Hep C testing!), and the NCSF. We also have special programs like the 'Ayem Willing' Volunteer Travel Fund, which assists volunteers to travel to events and return with education which they might not otherwise be able to reach. We hope NELA's advocacy will continue to help our world become a safer and happier place for those of us in our varied communities to be able to express our sexuality. While NELA continues to change and adapt to the needs of our community, once again our main focus remains unchanged: NELA’s commitment to its mission of education, advocacy, and charitable giving. Your continued presence at the FFF helps support that mission; thank you for joining us this weekend, and making this the great event that it is. Jack, NELA Chair

NICE LETS FOLKS. THAT MISTRESS INVITE ‘EM VICIOUS SEEMS LIKE A TRULY ALL OVER SINCERE HUMAN BEING. FOR TEA. Greetings Fellow Kinkfolk, Welcome to the 44th incarnation of the Fetish Fair Fleamarket®. We want to welcome you back to our new(ish) homes, the Crowne Plaza Warwick and Holiday Inn Express War- wick, and returning to our traditional (for most of the last decade) date of Presidents' Day Weekend. We do hope that this will become our venue and weekend for some time to come. We sincerely want you to have a fun-filled and safe weekend. Please respect the hotel as if it were your home; playing and shopping responsibly goes a long way to achieving that. Our event has never allowed nudity and we ask that in public spaces, especially areas outside our checkpoints, you exercise good taste. All of us differ in our abilities and skills, please be mindful of those who might not be as agile or facile. What we do is based on the cornerstone of consent. Please be sure consent is in everything that you do. If you feel unsafe or uncomfortable at any time please seek out a NELA officer or a member of our Safety Staff, or if neither is available, a member of the hotel staff. If you are feeling unwell, we have arranged for the medical services of Operation Hammond to assist you. Flea guests may purchase admission wristbands Friday night from 5pm-9pm, Saturday from 8am-8pm, and Sunday from 9am-3pm. NELA Associates have a chance to get a jump on the shopping for a half-hour before everyone has access to the vendors at 10:30am on Saturday and Sunday, so if you want that one-of-a-kind thing, or want to beat the crowds, you can start then! Classes and social activities run from a little after 6pm on Friday through 1am Saturday, 9am on Saturday through 1am Sunday, and 10am on Sunday through 3:15pm. Our first year in Warwick was a success —while there were certainly bumps in the road, things went much better than could be expected for a first-time-in-a-new-home event. Due to your feedback, we have shifted some things around this year, so please, continue to give us feedback. We want to continue to build this community, bring you education that you want, and make a large variety of vendors available to you. This year we hope to provide you with an even better event; among other changes, vending has been consolidated to a single vending-bedroom hallway and the Grand Ballroom and Foyer; class spaces have been altered or relocated to better accommodate our attendees' needs; and while the RKO Army returns to present a more... interest- ing... version of Rocky Horror on Friday night, we have a new set of Saturday night events. We've also tried to enhance the services available to you with the addition of Operation Hammond and increased Safety Team presence, Valet Parking options, and staffing from the hotel in several areas, most notably in food services. Each year we attempt to polish and improve this long-running event (now in its 22nd year!) based on your feedback. We hope that you enjoy the differences. Percy, FFF 44 Convention Chair
