As you 05 know, the bill would ban youth under the age of 18 from attending nudist parks in the state. AANR and AANR East had secured the services of a top- notch lobbyist to help defeat the bill.<br>Yesterday a major step was taken towards stopping HB 2806 during a subcommittee hearing where the bill was considered. After taking only brief testimony, the subcommittee UNANIMOUSLY voted to recommend tabling the measure. (The bill will go to full committee for consideration next week where it is expected to accept the recommendation and table 2806.) <br>According to White Tail Park owner Bob Roche who attended yesterday's proceedings—it was a relatively quiet affair and we hope to keep things that way to avoid undue attention to the bill which would make lawmakers' actions more public—your lobbyist deserves incredible praise for what happened. <br>HOW YOU CAN HELP – PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT LAWMAKERS, PRESS, ETC about this bill at this time. Keeping this measure quiet and out of the limelight is crucial to obtaining final success. We will apprise you immediately if there is a change in strategy that requires member assistance.<br>In the meantime, please accept our thanks for your support of the Association and your region. It is only through this support that the high quality of representation that we have secured is possible.<br><br><br><br><br>____________________________________________________________ ____________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________<br><br>———————————————————— ———— Yahoo!
