Ranch hosted a wonderful convention last weekend with great entertainment and lots of activities. Everyone had a great time. We had several productive discussions about what we can do to grow membership so that we can continue the AANR mission: “To advocate nudity and nude recreation in appropriate settings while educating and informing society of their value and enjoyment” Everyone is welcome at AANR-NW conventions and board meetings. Learn what is happening, contribute your ideas and expand your connections in the nudist community.

So come for the BBFR and stay for the convention. ** AANR-NW Hall of Fame ———————————————————— At the convention, Paul Kuntzmann was awarded the Hall of Fame award. The Hall of Fame Award is the highest honor the region can award a member. It is based on extraordinary service to AANR, AANR Northwest and nudism. Paul has been a member of AANR-NW for 27 years and is a member of Hidden Springs. Paul has held almost every NW office – President, Vice President and Treasurer – and probably half the committee chairs. He has served as IA chair under at least two presidents, PR, Scholarship, Hall of Fame, Man & Woman, Finance, Convention & Facilities, and Nudescene Editor for five years and managed the bulk mailing for ten years (when the NW was still producing the newsletter in region). He has represented the region at several Recreation and Park, RV and other trade shows. Paul (and Wayne Roberts) worked tirelessly to establish a travel club in the Yakima area, a vision that finally was fulfilled last year with the effort of President Karen Lahey. Paul was a significant contributor in the construction of the regional library and handicap ramp. He is the only person to sleep in the library building! Paul’s efforts in AANR, AANR NW and Restful Haven/Mountaindale (where he held his basic membership for many years before moving to Hidden Springs) have had a significant impact on nude recreation. Paul has always been there when he was needed and continues to be an asset to the region and to promotepublic awareness for nudism. It is time the region recognizes Paul for his exceptional service to AANR and AANR NW and awards him its highest honor, the NW Hall of Fame Award. ** AANR-NW Annual Awards ———————————————————— Man of the Year – Dave Smith Woman of the Year – Theresa “T” Price Membership Increase – by percentage – Rogue Suncatchers Membership Increase – by count – Rogue Suncatchers Scholarship – Brea Capshaw President’s Award – Theresa “T” Price Newsletter Award – Landed Club – Kaniksu Ranch Newsletter Award – Non-landed Club – Hidden Springs Website Award – Landed Club – Lake Bronson Website Award – Non-landed Club – Montana Naturist Organization ============================================================ Copyright © 2013 American Association for Nude Recreation – Northwest, All rights reserved.
