Check out Tonie by going to <a href=http://www.boogieonline.com/revolution/by_name/N/TonieNathan>http://www.boogieonline.com/revolution/by_name/N/TonieNathan</a> .html. Shirley immediately knew that AANR President Pat Brown was the person best suited for this opportunity. Shirley asked Tonie to call Pat. Pat had one foot out the door on her way to catch a flight to Florida. Pat explained she would be happy to do it but that she did not have time to get a bio requested by Tonie for the City Club newsletter ready by the press deadline. The City Club has over 500 members and has an extensive newsletter subscriber list. In addition, the newsletter is available online.<br>Thanks to Pat Orner and Linda Berry at the AANR office we were able to get a bio to Tonie Nathan in time for the newsletter deadline. Not only did they get the bio to Tonie in time they had a great time creating it together. The Eugene City Club has over 500 members and their newsletter is also available online.<br>In order to get the full impact of this event please check out the Eugene City Club website at <a href=http://www.cityclubofeugene.org/index.html.>http://www.cityclubofeugene.org/index.html.</a> Notice the only requirement for membership to the Eugene City Club is that you have an open mind.<br>After she arrived at the Downtown Athletic Club on July 14, the first person to introduce herself to Pat was Eugene City Councilor Betty Taylor. City Club President Rick Dancer a local TV News Anchor spent time with Pat before the meeting chatting and gathering information for his introduction. <br>While Pat's speech was informative and contained information most valuable to promote AANR and The Willamettans Family Nudist resort it was her passion and enthusiasm that captivated the audience. Pat's speech was interrupted by applause many times! Lane County Commission Bobby Green asked the first question during the question and answer period.<br>AANR President elect and also The Willamettans Family Nudist Resort President John Kinman and AANR/AANR-NW Treasurer Darrel Brown also attended the City Club meeting. <br>Pat's speech was broadcast on KLCC, a local FM radio station, the following morning, July 15. The Willamettans' previously scheduled open house was perfect timing. The Willamettans' membership chair, Bill Balfour, reported that five visitors attended as a direct result of hearing Pat's speech. In addition a University of Oregon journalism student who attended the City Club meeting specifically because of the topic visited the Willamettans to gather material for an article he plans to write for the University's online newsletter. KLCC also replayed the speech later in the week.
