It’s time once again to host our annual Festival of Nude Art, on October 21st & 22nd. Named “The Body Of Art,” the festival features nude artwork which often cannot be displayed at more mainstream art shows. Over 20 artists will be showing on the Lakefront lawn from 10 am to 5 pm, Saturday and Sunday. If you are an artist and would like to participate, you can download our f.a.q. and registration forms here.
We need lots of patrons so the Art Show will be open to the public and admission will be free both days. Support the artists and use the money you save to make a purchase.
At the same time, we are also hosting our second annual Fantasy Festival. We want to try and replicate the fun and excitement of Fantasy Fest right here at Cypress Cove.
On Friday we will have an afternoon Kickoff Party at the pool, a Meet the Artists Party, a Flashlight Flasher Nighttime Parade and a “Red Party” at Cheeks with DJ Xavier (wear something red – a hat, shoes, or body paint – get creative).
The fun doesn’t stop there. On Saturday we will also have a Body Painting Contest, a Fantasy Festival Parade (dress yourselves, your carts, or even your pets), another Pool Party, and finally, a Glow in the Dark Masquerade Ball with DJ Riptide, the Nude DJ’s.
Sunday will wrap up the weekend with relaxing music by the Pool with Danny.
The weekend will not only be full of great art, it will also be full of fun. Don’t miss out!

Looking for something new to do? How about coming down to check out the Camera Club here at Cypress Cove. The Camera Club meets on the second Sunday of each month at 10 am. The meeting is held in the Clubhouse and an official club photo shoot usually follows. The club has several photography related topics they will be covering over the next few months that will help experienced and novice photographers alike.
We are always looking for models for our photo shoots. Our meetings are usually the 2nd Sunday of the month. These are the dates for 2006 to keep in mind: Oct 15, Nov 12 & Dec 10, Jan 14, 2007; Feb 11, 2007; Mar 11, 2007; and Apr 8, 2007.
If you would like to model for the camera club, please pick up a reservation form in the office and drop it off at the activities office. Hope to see you there.

The feeling of the wind blowing through your hair, speeding along on your bike down the open road. There’s not a better feeling in the world. Well, there is one thing that could make it better, being nude while you’re doing it. I know you can’t do that on the open road, but you can do it right here at Cypress Cove with the return of our annual Nude Bike Rally & “Strip” Poker Run.
The weekend is jam packed with all kinds of great biker events. The weekend will kick off on Friday with Happy Hour and Biker Bar Trivia in the Lounge. Other weekend events include a Biker Deck Party and a Biker Block Party complete with BBQ, a Bike Show and live music. Of course, there will also be Biker Games to test the skills of the finest riders and a nude Bike Parade through the park.
If you’re feeling lucky, join in the annual Poker Run that will leave the Cove, run outside the park and end back at the Cove in time for the Biker Block Party. There will be an awards ceremony and a drawing for the 50/50 on Saturday night right before the Biker Dance at the Lakeside.
Book your room early and don’t forget to register. One phone call can take care of both these things. Call the Cove at 407-933-5870 to request a pre-registration form and schedule of events for the weekend to be mailed to you.
Hope to see you there! And as always: Ride Safe!!!

In the last issue I told you that we are moving away from a paper newsletter, to a digital one. Well, we are closer. After this “Cypress Knee” there is one more issue before the end of the year, and that will be the last full-format, paper version. We are already putting out an email newsletter, and that will continue, but in an expanded format. The “new” email Cypress Knee will still be produced weekly, and it will include the articles about special events and special interest groups that now only appear in the paper version. There will be links to a newsletter section of the website, where all the articles and the calendar will be available all the time. Articles will be left in this section until they are dated, or are superseded by an updated article. Anything that appears new on the website will be featured in the email letter.
We need you to sign up. We can’t send you email if we don’t have your email address, and after the first of the year we won’t be sending the traditional newsletter any longer. The easiest way to sign up is to visit our website and select the “Newsletter” link. You will see a very simple subscription form. If you get a new email address you can subscribe again using the same form.
If you don’t have a computer, or just must have a paper version for some other reason, you can still get it. It will not be in the current format, and will have somewhat less information than the email newsletter, but it will still inform you about upcoming events and other important information. What you will miss are the weekly updates and other timely information. To get the paper newsletter you must sign up for it. Call or write with your name and member number. We will mail to the address on file. We will not mail to non-members.

Readers of this newsletter know that Cypress Cove is a strong supporter of the American Association for Nude Recreation. We currently require all new Cove members to also join the AANR, although renewal is optional after the first year. In the future we will be returning to required AANR membership for all Cypress Cove members, but we are giving you lots of notice. There will be no change in 2007, but starting in January of 2008 renewals as well as new memberships will include AANR membership. Members who have AANR membership through another club will not have to pay for AANR though Cypress Cove.

As odd as it seems, we are still suffering fresh damage from the hurricanes of 2004. The violent shaking caused by storm winds can do damage to tree roots even though the tree is left standing, and that appears to have been the case with several trees in the park. During a dry period like we had this spring and early summer, the trees are not able to take in the water and nutrients they need, and they decline and die before any remedial action can be effective. The number of trees affected is small, but we love our trees, and it is sad to lose them when we thought it was all over.
‘Till next time…

Hey, all you volleyball fanatics, it’s time once again to come to the Cove for the annual Fall Volleyball Bash on October 6th – 8th.
The tournament is a co-ed triples tournament played in grass. Teams are divided by skill levels, A, AA, and AAA. We play a round robin on Saturday to determine seeding. Then Sunday is a double elimation tournament. The champs in each division receive trophies on Sunday after the games.
Since the tournament is co-ed, there must be at least one female on each team. Singles are welcome to come out Saturday morning and try to pick up a team. Players and their families not staying in the hotel or campground are welcome to purchase a weekend pass for just $25 per person, and minor children are free. That includes daily admission Friday thru Sunday as well as optional tent camping on the lakefront. If you have any questions about the tournament, email thadley@cypresscoveresort.com.
We have a great weekend of fun activities planned in addition to the volleyball tournament and it all begins Friday night. That night’s entertainment will be one of our new activities, Club Night. This is the night that we welcome all our young nudists to come down to Lakeside and dance to all the hottest new music around. On Saturday night we will have DJ Tom on hand for our Streak at Cheeks Party. Sunday in between volleyball matches head on over to the West Pool and cool off with Music by the Pool by DJ Xavier.
With all these fun things happening and some of the best volleyball around, how can you afford to miss out on this huge weekend of fun?
