We distributed literature, pins, and other give-a ways to visitors. It's evident that many people know about our clubs in this county and have a favorable impression of them. It's also evident that there's a strong spirit of cooperation with law enforcement. (In fact, sheriff deputies could not have been more helpful with helping me to find parking when they saw the AANR magnets on my van!) Finally, there's considerable interest in nude recreation as a subject as reflected in comments from both guests and volunteers working the festival.<br>I'd like to thank Bob for working the entire weekend on behalf of AANR / FANR and for inviting me to attend. I also appreciate Elf for introducing me to numerous decision-makers from the Pasco Chamber of Commerce and the tourist development council. You're proof that we're accomplishing the mission of protecting and promoting nude recreation.<br>Also in the good news department while at the festival, I had an opportunity to speak with Li Bailey, who many of you 05 recall served as our association's secretary / treasurer for several years along with her husband / trustee, Trevor. I'm happy to report to you that they're doing well. Recently they have been taking extensive training as part of their work with a community based non-profit group. Li made a point of telling me that it left her with an impression of how many things AANR has does right within its structure.<br>Wreck Beach Reminder Reminder: please visit the Wreck Beach Preservation Society's site www.wreakbeach.org and sign their online petition. There's recent evidence that the group is making progress but they need more signatures.<br>———————————————————— ——————- From the desk of Pat Plumstead, Executive Assistant: <a href=/group/AANR-NW-eNews/post?postID=vJOKVumLbIDRFYNVYmQWuu_LS8rkEzHqhKd4JBI7CGWRNNqJEZDcVYSJIpxrtpegdXl_oJeG8l4>ExOffice@aanr.com</a><br>WOMEN IN NUDE RECREATION (WINR) WORKSHOP to be held on Tuesday, 11 16, 2004 at Lake Como Family Nudist Resort from 11-3.
