Could everyone please check your storage areas to see if you have one (or both) of the AANR-NW floor/table displays. We’ve lost track of both and need one at least to be brought to the board meeting for Sun Meadow. Please let me know if you find it and can get it to the meeting in two weeks. Thank so much. Dave Smith

*Nominations Open for AANR Northwest Man and Woman of the Year* * * Do you know of a man or woman who is an AANR Northwest member and who contributed to nudism in this region during 2011? (Note: Contributions to their home clubs don’t count – those contributions should be recognized by the person’s club.) The Man and Woman of the Year Committee seeks your help in nominating persons for these honor awards. Look around you, see who fits this criterion, and let us know.

There were no nominees for either award in 2011 so there was no award given at the 2011 regional convention for either category. Let’s not let this happen in 2012.

Send our committee the name of the nominee, his/her home club, and a detailed resume of his/her contributions to AANR Northwest during the past year. The committee will use this information to make their selection for the award. Winners will be announced at the annual AANR Northwest convention, but they are not required to attend to win. Include your name and your club and a contact (email if possible). You need not be a member of the same club as the nominee.

There are two ways to nominate a man and/or a woman for the award.

The easiest way is to fill out the form at https://aanr-nw.org/members-only/man_woman_of_the_year.html . The username/password can be found in the Nudescene, which comes with your Bulletin. Or just send me a note and we will you access to the site.

Or you can use a nomination form (one for each person) which is enclosed with this email. Mail the completed form to: Jim & Karen Lahey AANR-NW Man & Woman of the Year Committee 5319 231st Ave SE, Issaquah, WA 98029

or e-mail to man-woman@aanr-nw.org

Submission deadline is March 15.

Please forward on this information to your other members of your club.

Today, Sunday, January 8, 2012, **Wayne Roberts** lost his multi-year battle with cancer. He passed from this world at about 1 p.m. and was surrounded by his wife Cathy, brother Ken and many close friends. ****Wayne **** put up a valiant fight and died peacefully.****

** **

****Wayne**** was very active in AANR-NW, as an AANR Trustee and President of the region. He was also the recipient of the AANR-NW Hall of Fame and Man of the Year awards along with the President’s award. ****Wayne**** spent most of the 1980’s, all of the 1990’s and part of this past decade working for AANR and AANR-NW. We have missed his involvement in recent years and will miss his counsel as we move forward. Nudism has lost a supporter and a friend.

1/2 Price for Feedback at Sun Meadow Resort This Weekend

Sun Meadow Resort is offering 1/2 price for feedback this weekend. You can pay half price for grounds fees, rooms, RV sites, and even meals as long as you are willing to help give input at their feedback sessions on Saturday or Sunday.

It begins at the 8 PM “Feedback” Get Acquainted Reception on Friday, Oct 21 so that people attending can get to know each other a bit better. The end result is that they are more likely to tell it like it is during the actual feedback sessions on Saturday and Sunday.

The Opening Feedback Session will be at 10 AM Saturday. It will be followed after lunch with a 2 PM Feedback Session on Saturday afternoon. After a break for an Oktoberfest themed Mezzanine Party and Dinner followed by a current movie on Saturday evening, the final Feedback Session wraps everything up at 10 AM on Sunday.

Even if you can’t attend, you can give them feedback by email…the more specific the better. What can they do to make Sun Meadow even more inviting? What do they need to fix (facility or otherwise)? What new idea should they kick around? What did you like best this year? What should they do more of? What are they forgetting?

Sun Meadow appreciates your input and knows that It will help them grow this winter too. In return you will pay only ½ price on grounds fees, rooms, RV sites and meals. Questions? See their website for more details at www.sunmeadow.org or call 208 686 8686.

It’s July already – and the 4 July weekend was spectacular – both for its weather and activities – thank you to all who attended and made the weekend so successful.

But the fun has only started. This Saturday – 9 July – is our third Skinny Dip to begin at 12:00 noon. There will be music at the pool, free hot dogs after the dip – this is one fun event where we fill our pool with members as well as first-timers who like the sound of “skinny dipping” so bring a friend (our ground fees are waived for the day!) and make a day out of it – the Café will be open for dinner, there will be a drum circle at the firepit around 7:00 PM and Karaoke in the Fireside.

Come be a part of our attempt to break our Willamettans record for people simultaneously skinny dipping in our pool on Saturday 9 July!

And remember – No one outgrows recess, but the playground changes. Make the Willies your playground this summer.
