The book is being featured and sold on www.aanr.com &lt;<a href=http://www.aanr.com/>http://www.aanr.com/</a>&gt; where sales this week were promising.<br>But you can get the Guide at more attractive prices! Remember that AANR Clubs qualify for discounted rates in ordering so you can make profit on sales OR choose to pass the books on to your members and guests at reduced prices. (Plus members and guests who buy from you don't have to pay shipping – making your offering more attractive by saving $5 more!) <br>For information on ordering The Guide at reduced rates, contact Carol Burgos at <a href=/group/AANR-NW-eNews/post?postID=0XBMVMXGoWpUQ4EKzMIyH_0ZGdWV6ISGBnASFLLjOQjW-wCQnAhndKXw325WUhpteOKgYx3jJ5c>acctrec1@aanr.com</a>. We have recently sent a laminated poster to our clubs to help you suggestively sell. If you didn't get yours or would like another, please let Carol know.<br> Pressing on to restore Assateague Beach. 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. I applaud AANR and AANR East Government Affairs teams for being open to such new initiatives. <br>I also want to personally thank AANR Government Affairs Coordinator Pat Orner for her efforts in getting this done.<br>Naturally California Issue Prompts Columnist to Write &quot;There's Nothing Wrong with Family Nudist Clubs.&quot; There is a column appearing in today's issue of the North Coast Times which is a must read: It is evident that this reporter has been well educated.

By admin at 2:28 pm on March 16, 2005 | No comments

In 12 Days an Exquisite Russian Bania is Willing To Go &quot;Co-Ed&quot; Nude Just For You With a Simple Email RSVP …<br> Dear fellow naturists and nudists:<br>We've got a great opportunity here to have a local Seattle spa – actually an authentic Russian bania – open their doors regularly to co-ed nude use.  The General Manager and partner I've been working with wants this first night to work and if at least 20 people show up, they will schedule a regular night as co-ed nude night. <br>Here we have a business that recognizes that there is a demand for nude use and is willing to add it into their business schedule. <br>This first night is not sponsored by any club, nor paid for by any club, and you do not have to sign up or pay in advance. 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>
