Greetings from the President’s Desk
in the Winter of 2018!
We are not actually in hibernation with activities around the region. As I write, I’m at Sun Meadow for the chili cookoff – fitting with snow falling outside! Beautiful. But there are also many other things to keep in mind. It’s time now to consider nominations for awards for both national and regional conventions which are both just around the corner. Your club has deserving individuals who have gone above and beyond in encouraging social nudity. We are an organization of volunteers, and this is one of the best ways we can recognize and express value for extra efforts.
Also, we are all getting ready for the upcoming season. Please post your activities on the regional calendar to be posted on the website and in Nude News. With enough notice you can also get your major events listed in the AANR Bulletin. Nationally, we are planning for Nude Recreation Week and trying to establish a National Skinny Dipping Day that can be celebrated with your club’s house. If you are looking for ways to promote your club activities, the marketing division at AANR is available to help you look at social media, that many of us find “challenging.” They send out articles you can amend to fit your own club with names and dates that fit. They also encourage the use of Twitter and Facebook and are working to stay on top of the latest innovations that can attract new members to AANR and your landed or event clubs. Give Jeff a call at AANR (800-try nude) if you need help. He’s there for you!
Status of Calgary Nude Swim Event
In January, the City of Calgary in Alberta, Canada, canceled the scheduled nude swim at the local wave pool. Since then, the local nudist group has agreed to special terms to allow them to have a February swim, including requiring parents to bring their children’s birth certificates with them to the swim. More details can be found at https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/skinny-dippers-rejoice-agreement-reached-to-resume-naked-swimming-events-at-calgary-pools-1.3785839. You can show solidarity with our friends in the north by signing the petition at https://www.change.org/p/change-org-shut-down-the-petition-to-shut-down-the-nude-sliding-event.
