We have found a new
restaurant to hold our monthly meet and
greet dinners.
We will be meeting on February 20,
2016 at the Hillview Restaurant which is
located at 6135 Transit Road, Depew, NY.
They have a private meeting room and
they will give us separate checks.
Many thanks to Kevin for researching
new locations.
The meeting will be at 6:00PM.
Our
monthly clothed dinners serve two purposes, one
to allow members to keep in touch and share
nudist experiences, and two, to meet new
prospective members in a clothed environment
which allows them to ask questions and get
information regarding nude recreation.
Remember, anybody can
come to our dinner meetings.
Please come, ask
questions, and see what the club is all
about.
All are welcome. We will have
membership applications available and also
transfer applications if you are already
AANR members. Membership is $45.00 for
single or $82.50 for couples. More
information regarding membership can be
found on our membership web page.
First time Experiences.
The following is from the
Oregonian/Oregon Live Blog.
Why not just wear
a bathing suit? Is it really that different?
The Oregonian/OregonLive ask men and women
at nude beaches and resorts what’s the
appeal to nudism.
Why be naked? Nudists explain the joys of being bare
Carolyn Hawkins' husband asked her to go
to a nudist resort with him. Sorry, she told
him, but no thank you.
After much pleading and convincing, she
reluctantly agreed to go with him to Cypress
Cove, a nudist resort in central Florida,
but she refused to take her clothes off
while they were there. On that point, she
was resolute.
Hawkins had seen nudity like many
American still see it today – as something
to do in the privacy of your home, certainly
not around other people and definitely not
in public – but today she's a full-blown
nudist, working full-time to promote the
joys of nudity.
Hawkins now works as the public relations
coordinator for the American Association of
Nude Recreation. It's her job, literally, to
spread the good word on nudism – often also
called naturism – to people who might have
the same fears that once kept her from going
bare.
Her own turning point came on the tour of
Cypress Cove, when she finally met the
people there.
"During that tour everybody was speaking,
everybody spoke, 'Hi, how are you? Welcome
to Cypress Cove,'" Hawkins recalled. "I
thought, 'You know what? Maybe this isn't so
bad after all."
The people at the resort were much like
the people at many nudist resorts around the
country. They were friendly, warm and not
pushy about Hawkins' discomforts. She and
her husband sat down and chatted with
another couple, there with their two kids.
After hearing them out, she was convinced:
she would give nudism a try.
"It went uphill from there," she said.
At the end of the day she and her husband
bought memberships at Cypress Cove. Later
she got a part-time job there. Then she
moved into the nude resort, where she and
her husband raised her 3-year-old grandson.
It sounds astonishing, but in reality
that kind of 180-degree turnaround isn't so
unusual among nudists.
