How would you like an opportunity to research nudist history and share your findings with other nudists in the form of short 2 or 3 paragraph summaries? The ANRL is looking for volunteers to research historical information and write short items for publications like the AANR Bulletin, ”N” and Naturally magazines, and the AANR-East web site. There are abundant interesting resources in the Nudist Library, including magazines, club newsletters, a Who’s Who in Nudism file, manuscripts, theses and books. If you belong to a club, you might enjoy reading the old newsletters and writing about an interesting event. Or browse the other resources and find something that interests you to write about in a short article. People enjoy reading about historic events, and look forward to regular articles that appear in nudist publications.
What will you get out of it? If you enjoy research and writing, this will be an opportunity to learn more about nudist history and use your writing talent. If you are interested, stop by the library (Wednesday-Saturday 1-4 PM) or call (407 933 2866) and leave your name. Someone will call you back with more information.

Over the past four years, the Tennis Tournament Committee has made a generous donated to the Children’s Advocacy Center of Osceola County, raised through the generosity of more than 20 major sponsors, as well as many individual donors of raffle items. The 2007 Tournament saw the largest contribution yet to the Charity when we donated $3,800.
The Tournament Committee invites all interested players to come join us in this wonderful fun charity event. Registration forms for the tournament are now available at the Cypress Cove website tennis link.

The Cypress Cove Remote Control Yacht Club has been sailing one meter solings on Brown Lake for almost 7 years. The club has grown to over 60 members with 35 solings, lots of power boats and of course the Cove balloon boats.
We have decided to put more emphasis on the powerboat events this year. There are two classes of powerboats: Cove-1 (balloon boat) and Cove-2 (electric power boats). Our Powerboat Captain Dave has a number of interesting events planned for the 2nd Sunday of each month at 1 pm. The various games will put the emphasis on driving skill not speed, therefore many sizes and styles of boats should be able to enjoy the fun together.
By the way, this is a family activity with both women and men captains enjoying the fun. So come on down to the waterfront for the Powerboat events on the 2nd Sunday of each month at 1 pm. Non-members are welcome to bring their boats. Sailing will continue through the summer months on the 1st, 3rd & 5th Sunday of the month.

On Saturday, March 24th, the final tournament of the winter petanque season was held. It was a beautiful day with 60 combatants locked in a heated battle of which color would be declared victorious. Three battles were waged with the final outcome that had the blue team trouncing the reds by a 41 point margin 163 to 122.
The winning blue team was then awarded a toast of champagne, while the losing red team had to wallow in their beer.
This was all followed by a fried chicken dinner, with homemade potato salad & baked beans, topped off by black forrest cake and vanilla ice cream.

The Cypress Cove Remote Control Yacht Club would like to thank everyone who attended our 6th Annual Regatta on March 11, 2007. And a very special thanks to the Cove management team, Matt & the maintenance department, the restaurant staff and Regis & his team. Without their help, it couldn’t have happened.
The Regatta takes place every March and is one of the biggest events in the Cove’s busy social schedule. It starts early in the morning with the powerboat events, including balloon boat challenges and power boat racing on our grand prix race circuit. We started our program with the Management Balloon Boat Race. Ivan was quickly eliminated, leaving Regis & Ted to fight it out. It was an epic battle and when the dust settled, Regis celebrated the win.
After a tasty lunch of hotdogs and hamburgers, the remote control sailing ships took to the water. There were a number of run off races and then the best of the best sailed for the coveted prizes. This year the winner of the Ladies Soling and the Open Soling were husband & wife and the second place was also a husband & wife.
The regatta is not only a sailing event; we also have activities just for the fun of it. The anything-goes-race pitted powerboats against sailing boats and even with the excellent wind conditions, the power boats won again. The canoe race pitted the restaurant staff against the social directors and a pick-up team of two adventurous ladies. Again, against all odds, Regis won. Not bad for a team that started out by falling out of the canoe.
The Regatta has turned into an all-day event with 24 races, food & drink; five raffles with many great items, a 50-50 draw and an announcer to keep the large audience informed & entertained. To top off the day, awards and trophies were presented at the evening banquet.
We have been sailing our graceful one meter solings on Brown Lake for 6 ½ years. Our solings are sloop rigged radio controlled yachts. There are no motors; they are driven only by wind power. The skipper can adjust the trim of the sails and the angle of the rudder. The rest is skill and luck. The club has grown to over 60 members with 35 solings, power boats and of course the very popular balloon boats. By the way, this is a family activity with both women and men captains.
