Remember, while you have to be an NFFC member to attend the convention, membership costs only $24 per year and includes a monthly newsletter. You're certainly welcome to join the club just to attend the convention (I initially did). More information - including online ordering for both membership and the convention - can be found at www.NFFC.org.
