The AANR World Record Skinny-Dip–Momentum is Growing!

Excitement is building…

Guinness World Records™ has agreed to recognize our attempt to have the most people skinny- dipping simultaneously across North America (and beyond). This record is sponsored by AANR and will take place at exactly 3:00 p.m. Eastern Nudist Time on July 11, 2009.

We are gearing up with the AANR public relations firm, Ypartnership, to begin the media blitz. Stay tuned for more info. A big story is being prepared for the June issue of The Bulletin and the E-Bulletin.

Assateague Beach Cleanup a Huge Success!

Ocean City, MD—The weather was great, people turned out, and those advocating for a clothing-optional beach in Maryland made a significant impression on park service staff as they cleaned a large section within the state park on Saturday, April 18.

Temperatures hovered in the mid 70s and reached a high of 78 degrees. That was a great way to welcome 28 volunteers who came from as far as Pennsylvania to lend a hand. Adorned in bright orange hats with the www.aanr.com Web address, these volunteers attracted a lot of attention. While they worked clothed, many wore shirts with nudist slogans.

In all, these 28 volunteers contributed about 350 hours of volunteer time, which was recorded by the park personnel managing the cleanup. Organizer Ray Simpson e-mailed to relay the good news, pointing out that many people had given 10 hours or more of their time when travel to and from the event is factored in.

We received a warm “thank you” from park employees who, for this event, came from the state park. While we plan to ultimately locate the clothes-free beach on federal land, getting the cooperation of state officials is critical. The success of this project also paves the way for us to set up a meeting with the new federal superintendent.

To all of you who made this possible, we extend warm and hearty thanks.

AANR Government Affairs

This week our office sent a detailed package of demographic information, legal material, and copies of articles from The Wall St. Journal, Forbes, USA Today, and the New York Times about the strong dollar value of the nude recreation market to a county attorney in Florida.  The county is presently considering creating a clothing-optional beach to increase tourism during the difficult economy.

Nudity (and Humor) in Advertising

This week we learned about several advertising campaigns featuring nudists or a nude recreation theme.  The first promotes a new running shoe developed by Nike.  The second occurred in London, England, when French carmaker Peugeot arranged for 302 “nudists” (okay, they were adorned with body scarves and body stockings) to appear publicly to promote the company’s new 302 Cabriolet convertible.  Finally, we have had several calls about a television advertisement for Marshall’s shoes in which the well-known store chain claims to have an overstock of shoes available at great prices due to another shoe store owner’s failure after calling her store a clothing-optional boutique.

We feel such campaigns are deserving of mention in our weekly report although we wince at times when we see nudism depicted as a joke or associated with tongue-in-cheek humor.

On one hand, it is arguable that some of this advertising only serves to further stereotypes about our favorite form of recreation.  For example, AANR advocates for nudity within appropriate settings rather than downtown London as Peugeot would have it appear.  And we know that, thanks to the strong demographics among AANR members, a store would be likely to succeed by catering to them.

However, it is also true that nudity within these advertisements is depicted as something fun, rather than sexual.  And, as you’ll see from the Nike promotion, advertisers are becoming more and more comfortable showing nude bodies, including bare breasts and buttocks.  If companies are confident that they can use nudity to promote products without damaging their valuable brands, it means that they believe the general public is becoming more and more okay with it.

We’ll let you view the following and decide for yourself.

CAROLYN HAWKINS, PUBLIC RELATIONS COORDINATOR

I was at the Assateague Beach cleanup last weekend.  The weather was beautiful, and everyone had a great time.

Positive Publicity

The April/May issue of Mensa had a nice article regarding nude recreation.

Nike has some new running shoes coming out in May, the Nike Free 5.0s.  Nike decided they had to do something to spice up an ad for them so they got all their sponsored runners together and had them run around naked. Yes, completely naked (except for their shoes). Check out the link in Erich’s report.

Discovery Health is looking for a woman five-months pregnant for a documentary.  There is a stipend included.  If you know someone who fits this request and may be interested, please contact me at pubaffairs@aanr.com.

Atlanta Journal Constitution Picks Up the Nakation Trend

This week the online site for one of the Southeast’s most influential newspapers carried a report about the popularity of Nakations.  In addition to referencing the CNN story from last week, the AJC online report linked back to earlier stories about nudist resorts in Georgia.

Finally, there is a location onsite where anyone can cast a vote and comment on their favorite Nakation destination.  Just click here:

Assateague Beach Cleanup – April 18, 2009
Submitted by Ray Simpson, Maryland State Coordinator

For many years there was a place on the Assateague Island National Seashore in Maryland you could enjoy if you didn’t want to have to wear a swimsuit. Government policies changed that, but you can help us get a clothing-optional section restored.

The American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) and its region affiliate AANR-East are working for change.  Change starts by showing seashore staff that those who want a nude area are good neighbors.  We have a CLOTHED cleanup event planned for April 18, 2009, and we would love to have FRIENDS LIKE YOU join us.  We’ll be meeting at 8 a.m. in the parking lot in front of the bath house which is located right next to the concession stand in the State Park.  There is more than one cleanup event that day, so be sure you look for the group with the orange hats or ask to be directed to the AANR volunteers.

To sign up and for additional information, please contact Ray Simpson our event coordinator at raysimpson@verizon.net or 301/399-9338.  Please include your name, e-mail address and phone number when signing up. We will need to contact you in case of any last minute updates or changes. We’ll see you there!

Directions:

>From Rt. 50 east, one mile before the Rt. 50 bridge that enters Ocean City, MD, turn right onto Rt. 611 and follow it all the way to the end without making any other turns, and the Assateague Island State Park will be the very last right turn and the only parking lot at the end of Rt. 611.

AANR-NW GAT Monitors Proposed Oregon Legislation
By Shirley Gauthier, Oregon State Coordinator

One of the many benefits of being a member of the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) and AANR-NW is that the AANR-NW Government Affairs Team (GAT) represents you.

Currently several proposed pieces of legislation in Oregon have the potential for unintended consequences to impact family nude recreation. Our AANR dues contribute to finance StateNet, a legislative monitoring service. StateNet has flagged several Oregon bills using a vast array of key words pre-selected by the AANR GA Team in Oregon this legislative session.

Once StateNet flags a bill in Oregon, an e-mail is sent to me as the Oregon AANR-NW GAT chair. I research the bill for potential impact, sponsors of the bill and pertinent information to address the process needed to proceed. I then contact AANR-NW GAT Chair Steve Hubbard, and a decision is made on the most productive process to address the proposed bills.

One legislator, a “Friend of AANR-NW” and sponsor of one bill, responded immediately to an e-mail that he would address our concerns with the bill he had drafted. After contacting key legislators, appointments were made and Willamettans President Sue Ott and I were off to visit to the Oregon capitol in Salem. The AANR office staff in Kissimmee, Florida, supplied informational packets and support.

A senator and sponsor of another bill, along with his staff, addressed our concerns and assured us that they would share our concerns with committee members. These legislators have been receptive in the past to their constituents concerns and have always given AANR representatives their time. Legislators assured us that they would notify us of any scheduled hearings concerning the proposed bills. In addition to our scheduled appointments, we were able to drop in on legislative staffers, hand out “AANR Nudist and I Vote” buttons, and continue our networking efforts.

AANR-NW GAT is not requesting any action or funds from our members on this issue at this time.

Roll Call Released Its State-By-State Ranking of Capitol Hill Clout for the 111th Congress Last Month.

And it looks a lot like the one for the 110th, especially at the top of the list. The same 10 states Roll Call judged the most powerful two years ago occupy the top slots this time around. Only the order has shifted slightly, with PENNSYLVANIA jumping from 10th to seventh, and ILLINOIS, MARYLAND, and VIRGINIA each moving down one place. The rankings are based on several factors, including delegation size, committee assignments, number of majority party members and amount of per capita federal spending received.

Encouraging Signs for Travel and Recreation

While reasons for concern still exist, we have been delighted by several recent news headlines projecting promising travel and recreation trends for the months ahead. RV dealers, who were hit hard by last summer’s skyrocketing gas prices and the subsequent economic downturn and credit crunch, are finally reporting increased sales, some as high as double this same time last year. While buyers are often looking more for used models, they ultimately recognize that RV camping is a less expensive means for quality family travel. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs reported last week, “The President believes it’s important to have a strong tourism industry,” and that “he would encourage people to travel.” The U.S. Travel Association applauded the statement, saying, “These comments are extremely positive for the one million employees in this industry whose livelihood depends on business meetings and events.” The February travelhorizonsT survey of leisure travelers also reported that the U.S. Traveler Sentiment IndexT has recently spiked due to an increase in the perceived “affordability of travel.” This trend appears to be a direct result of many travel suppliers’ recent efforts to stimulate short-term demand through the aggressive promotion of discounted fares and rates. These promising trends could have positive consequences for travel to national parks this summer.

Additional topics in this issue:

* Governors proclaim June Great Outdoors Month

CNN.Com Revisited

Last week we brought you news of the lead story in CNN.com’s travel section about nakations.  We continue to receive media as we’ll more fully explain below.

At this moment, however, I want to thank several clubs who were not
mentioned directly in the article, but nevertheless played a pivotal role in helping us to convince the journalists at CNN of the strength of the nude recreation market.

The impressive growth of Lake Como club in Lutz, Florida; as well as Oaklake Trails in Oklahoma, home to AANR’s 2009 Convention; plus Desert Sun of Palm Springs, California; and Abbott’s Glen of Vermont were all cited as evidence of what the industry has accomplished.  Moreover, representatives from each of those businesses—as well as Bob Migliore of Canada who discussed business there—took the time to interview with CNN reporters in preparation of the story.  Without their help, it would simply have not been possible to make the story happen.

Thank you for adding your voices to the credible voice of reason.

In related news, the list below shows how many places on the internet — from online blogs to major newspapers–have picked up the story.  Note that Laguna del Sol had a very positive visit from a local television station, as well as additional pickup for Sun Meadow of Idaho.  Note, too, that a number of stories reached Canada.

While not all pieces below are completely positive, without doubt they have prompted many, many discussions about nude recreation across North America.

Getting the Job Done in Government Affairs—Credibly

Montpelier, Vermont — Need an example of how the American Association for Nude Recreation and its regions watches the future of nude recreation in private resorts AND on public lands?  Consider the following story about the Association’s success in alerting, tracking, and responding to a dangerous proposal in Vermont.

Nudity Ban. A state lawmaker introduced a bill (HB 154) this term to ban nudity in any public setting within the green mountain state.  This would represent a major shift away from a very live-and-let-live approach to nudity in settings like the many beautiful streams and ponds decorating the state. In fact, now-U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy once wrote that his state had no interest in regulating skinny-dipping on public land unless a person made a complaint, in which case the “offender” should simply be asked to get dressed.

StateNet Security. Just four days after HB 154 was introduced Government Affairs Coordinator Debra Stevens was alerted to it and began tracking its progress using the StateNet legislative monitoring service.  StateNet flags bills using a vast array of key words pre-selected by the Association and also provides the full text of bills and the location in the legislative process.  The service costs thousands of dollars per year, but enabled sharp eyed members of the government affairs team to respond quickly.

Credible Voices. Given the gravity of what HB 154 would do, a prompt decision was made that we should obtain top quality government representation at the state capital.  Six days later we had a signed agreement securing the services of none other than a former attorney general and his son, who himself served as the president of a prominent legal association within Vermont for four years.  Working on behalf AANR and the AANR East region, this professional spoke with the chairperson of the committee assigned to review HB 154.  He received her promise that the bill would not advance, but because things can always change in a political
setting, continues to monitor the bill.

We are not requesting any action by members at this time.
