From Dean’s Desk
September 18th, 2007
I have a couple of reminders for you this month. First, the American Nudist Research Library Digital Challenge will be ending soon, and the drawing for the winning ticket will take place shortly after the first of November. The purpose of the challenge is to raise money to support the digitization of the Library’s vast collection of nudist related historical material. Much of this material is very old and deteriorating, and the project will preserve it for future reference. This a worthy project and deserving of donations for its own sake.
However, the challenge itself could also stand alone. For a five dollar ticket you have the opportunity to win thirty nights in a Villa Apartment, which may be used all at once or in increments of as few as three nights at a time. Added services and benefits from Cypress Cove, Nature Hair, Silver Lining Massage and D&R Golf Cart Emporium make the entire prize package worth thousands. The potential return is very attractive, and your chances are a lot better than the twenty-three million to one odds in the Florida lottery! The AANR office in Kissimmee is handling the ticket sales, so send a check today, for any number of chances at $5.00 each, to the American Association for Nude Recreation, 1703 North Main St. Suite E, Kissimmee, FL 34744. Be sure to reference the ANRL Digital Challenge.
The AANR also figures in my second reminder. Last year at about this time I announced that we would start requiring AANR membership of all Cypress Cove members, starting in 2008. Well, that time is almost here. For all memberships that renew on or after January 1, 2008, AANR membership will be an additional and required cost. The amount is $58.50 for a couple, or $33.00 for a single. At least two-thirds of our Cove members already have AANR membership, so those of you in that category will not see any increased cost next year.
Members of more than one AANR club need only pay the AANR membership fee once, so if you do have AANR membership through another club just provide the membership number that is on your membership card(s), and delete the AANR portion of the fee. By the way, paying your membership renewal in December, for a January expiration, will not bypass the AANR requirement. If the renewal date is in 2008, AANR membership will be required.
The AANR works hard year around to ensure a positive public image for nude recreation. In addition, they are constantly in touch with federal, state and local attempts to pass regulations, laws or ordinances that could impact our rights to enjoy our style of living and recreation. One particularly harmful piece of legislation was derailed this year right here in Florida. There are monetary benefits in AANR membership, including discounts at other nudists resorts and participating businesses, but even if you never take advantage of these benefits, your AANR membership fee is money well spent. We hope you understand and agree.
‘Til next time…
