*Congratulations to Kim Helfant*

Kim Helfant delivered a bouncing baby boy last weekend. She is definitely enjoying motherhood but will return to the AANR Membership Department after her maternity leave.

We wish you a very special holiday season. In observance of the occasion, the AANR office will close at noon on December 24 and all day on December 25. We will resume regular office hours on Monday, December 28. We will observe the same schedule the following week for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.

*TANR Meeting Wraps Up*

Last week the annual meeting of the Trade Association for Nude Recreation was held at Hidden Beach resort near Playa del Carman, Mexico. The resort is beautiful and complete with tastefully appointed rooms, with breathtaking views of the ocean, and direct access to the beach on the Riviera Maya. Best of all, nudity is permitted in all areas of the all-inclusive resort.

Special thanks are in order for outgoing TANR President Donna Daniels of Castaways Travel who arranged special rates and perks for the trip. Barbara Hadley of Cypress Cove was elected as the incoming President, and we extend our congratulations to her.

For as little investment as $200 per year in TANR, a club or business has an opportunity to become part of a cooperative advertising pool that markets in main stream national travel magazines. Traffic to the www.tanr.com Web site is then re-directed to businesses that meet readers’ needs. If your club is not yet a part of this exciting program, we invite you to contact the AANR office for more details about joining.

*AANR Helping Members*

This week our office provided referrals to qualified counsel for AANR members located in Florida and on the West Coast. Both members encountered legal difficulties associated with their participation in nude recreation. The former case involved property ownership and financing within a nudist club. The latter case involved custody of the members’ minor children.

*Committee Reports*

All AANR committee chairs are asked to submit their reports for distribution *no later than Tuesday, January 12, 2010.* Please e-mail them to Linda Berry at editor@aanr.com.
