This week AANR and AANR East have made yet another effort to restore a clothing optional section to Assateague Beach in Maryland. In this case, we have arranged to send 2,000 post card / self mailers to homeowners who reside in the districts of two key lawmakers who have been approachable to the subject. The cards are very discreet (we use terms like &quot;au naturel&quot; and the only photo depicts empty dunes and beach grass), post-paid, and simply ask people to check a box and drop in the mail. <br>We are going directly to the people in Maryland based on strong scientific polling results that show a majority of state voters support creating a clothing-optional area. This is a new strategy and we will keep you apprised of results.

Payment is at the door when you are there. <br>HEAD Count Needed <br>But, the only thing he asks is that he be given a head count of how many plan to be there so he will know how many of his staff to schedule to come in. <br>Have a look at their web site at <a href=http://www.banya5.com>http://www.banya5.com</a> and the writeup on the SLUGS web site at <a href=http://www.slimetrail.org/LateBreakingNews.html>http://www.slimetrail.org/LateBreakingNews.html</a> .<br> Then check your calendar to be sure you can come on Monday, March 28, 2005 from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. <br> Then send me an email to: <a href=/group/AANR-NW-eNews/post?postID=SJ1Xc84ei0GetgJBJt7HoKd1IL86AlRv11uUBbjGytCVKZbKZXf4FZmX455-jCxk-fqpff90JcNj3YIpiv58Pw>banya5night@slimetrail.org</a> so I can give him a head count.<br>While you're at the Late Breaking News, also have a look at the Nude Viewing Night of the UNCLAD 2005 Art show which is coordinated by the SLUGS.<br>Thanks, Howard<br><br><br> </td>
