"Being a life member of the NFA is a source of enormous pride and accomplishment, giving dependable support for the organization’s long-term plans. Many flutists have paved the way for us with selflessness, gratitude, artistry, creativity, and leadership. Consider getting a life membership: it is a solid investment in the NFA."
