AANR-NW Members of the Year!

During the AANR-NW convention in July, two honorees were named member of the year.

The member of the year award is given to a man or a woman for their contribution in promoting and/or furthering nudism at the regional level during the previous calendar year. Recipients will be presented with plaques at the AANR Northwest convention. Nominees must be AANR Northwest members but need not be members of the club that nominates them.  

Judith King is a member of Sun Rovers and was nominated by Karen Lahey of the SLUGS.

When Bare Spirits folded, Judith contacted its members and personally encouraged them to join Sun Rovers or another AANR club. All but two of them were retained. While this is a big win for Sun Rovers, it is also a huge win for AANR-NW. Keeping these members as members of a club will make it less likely that the region will lose them as AANR members. Thank you Judith. Additionally, Judith, along with Mike Parker, put in significant effort in planning the March non-landed group gathering at the Willamettans. Members from four clubs (Sun Rovers, Hidden Springs, The Rogue Suncatchers and SLUGS) gathered to meet and have fun. This gathering is evidence about how the Northwest can work together.

Bill Bisbee is a member of Montana Naturists Organization and was nominated by Dave Smith of Kaniksu Family Nudist Ranch.

Bill Bisbee has almost single-handed kept the naturist movement in Montana alive.  He has served as President, Director, and every other position, all at the same time to keep nudist opportunities available in his state.  He spends countless hours planning and carrying out activities and trips for the club in his beautiful home state. He has submitted excellent suggestions to the national organization to celebrate nudist rights on Independence Day. 
Bill has continued through this year to persevere to continue these activities to support nudism in Montana, and is genuinely deserving of this recognition.

It is not too early to nominate people for next year’s member of the year.  To find out more information, please go to

          AANR-NW Celebrates!

          Submitted by:  AANR-NW GAT Chair Shirley Gauthier

          AANR-NW celebrates a fifteen year partnership with the Oregon State Parks Department.  Dues paying members provide the finances that secure our ability to continue.   AANR-NW was approached at an Oregon Recreation and Parks Association trade show in the late 1990’s.  AANR-NW  met with the Ranger at Rooster Rock State Park in 2002.  A partnership began that over the years has proven to be a success for all.  AANR is the proud adopter of Rooster Rock State Park through the Oregon State Park Adopt-A-Park program.  AANR-NW holds SOLVE adoptions at Sauvie Island and Rooster Rock. 

          Working relationships do not “just happen.”  It takes money, volunteer time, energy, and commitment.  AANR-NW members, resorts and clubs accepted the challenge and have always come through with that much needed support for nude recreation on public lands.  We must complete two beach cleanups each year at Sauvie Island and at Rooster Rock to complete our adoption obligations.

          Every club and resort has at one time or several times over the past fifteen years participated in some way.  It would be impossible to even try and name all the contributions since 2002.

          This year a shout out to Hidden Springs Travel club members for their continued strong volunteer base, Mountaindale Sun Resort for the volunteer appreciation dinner and free ground fees, Willamettans Family Nudist Park for the volunteer appreciation gift cards of a free two night and three day visit and volunteers.  A shout out to Kaniksu Ranch for the Bare Buns Run t-shirts and  the Barebackers cash donation towards hotdogs!  Squaw Mountain Ranch and a local Meet-Up group provided volunteers.  

          I challenge everyone to contribute to our beach cleanups. Our greatest need are volunteers the day of the cleanups.  If your interested in hosting a beach cleanup it’s easy!  Simply contact Mike Parker AANR-NW Public Lands at mikpar@prodigy.net or AANR-NW GAT Chair Shirley Gauthier at sherbog@msn.com.

                    From the President’s Desk

                    I’m traveling the country with a stop at the convention in Oklahoma. A great opportunity to see a lot of the amazing country, meeting so many people.  Something is very obvious.  When we spend the night at a non-nudist RV camp, it’s harder to meet people.  When we stopped at Mountainair near Denver, we hadn’t finished hooking up our RV and we were already invited to dinner.  Before we knew it, there was a group of “friends” around a picnic table, visiting and laughing.  They were not all members at Mountainair, some were new to naturism.  All were friendly and welcoming. In Kansas, we visited a small club near Wichita and found more friendly faces. We are part of a large, international family where we recognize safety and friendship across this great land.
                    As we prepare to finish our outward trip and return tomorrow toward the Northwest, we are amazed how quickly the time has passed. We are ever more aware how important it is to protect our “Right to Bare Arms, Legs, Torsos.’ AANR is vital to help us continue to grow and protect our sacred rights.

                    Young Nudist’s Summit 

                    On September 8-10, The Young Nudist’s Summit will be hosted at Sun Meadow.This is a group of young adults who are members of AANR and it is their annual summit meeting. The purpose of the Young Nudist Leaders Summit is to enlighten and engage young nudist leaders with knowledge of how AANR and other organizations may help stimulate growth, as well as encourage interaction among the groups/individuals in order to further our knowledge of how AANR and other organizations may be able to support their endeavors. They will have speakers, and we will have a massage therapist as well. There will be a DJ dance on Saturday night.
