Is there a nude-shore project your club wants to have added to this plan? Let me know at <a href=/group/AANR-NW-eNews/post?postID=GePE73EsD8q856qyQqCaEa97UNBTHxlavf8OSqyz8Ot3sXmplFo8qFSLYLGzxzDY5U3b5aPshwOj60tcEA>government@aanr.com</a> <br>In Maryland District 38B, AANR needs to show the to-be-elected delegates that there are reasons to support our rights on Assateague Beach. In the recent Republican Primary, one of the two emerging candidates has in the past been less than supportive of the nude beach. AANR needs locations in this voting district to place yard signs. If you have friends/relatives/property in the Salisbury, Maryland, area or if you live in Maryland and want a beach at Assateague, PLEASE contact me at <a href=/group/AANR-NW-eNews/post?postID=GePE73EsD8q856qyQqCaEa97UNBTHxlavf8OSqyz8Ot3sXmplFo8qFSLYLGzxzDY5U3b5aPshwOj60tcEA>government@aanr.com</a> or call toll free 1-800-TRY-NUDE.<br> NPS NEWS<br>John Hunter, AANR D.C.
