Greetings Fellow Naturists!
The weather forecast calls for snow and possibly bad roads for the swim tonight. For now the swim is still on. I will watch the weather reports closely and make a final decision around 4 pm.
I plan to post again about 4 pm to announce whether the swim is on, or if it's being called off. Check back after 4!
Stay naked!

Fall and Winter Swims Resume!
Greetings Fellow Naturists!
After a great summer of visitations to landed clubs, we are ready to begin our Fall and Winter Swims once again.
As before, our sister club "Have Sun Will Travel" will host a swim on the first Saturday of each month and we'll host on the third Saturday.
That means the first swim is tomorrow night, October 4, hosted by Have Sun Will Travel. Our first swim will be October 18.
Results from the survey we published last spring, a clear majority want to have a more formal meeting at least once a year. Our bylaws don't really provide for meetings except the annual election of Trustees in November. But I think it will be healthy to offer a more formal meeting.
Perhaps the first meeting should be to present and discuss the results of the survey, because so many of the questions have to do with possible changes to the club or its activities.
So, at our first swim, October 18, I will ask for consensus on when and where to have our first meeting. A question to be decided is whether to limit attendance to only members, or whether to open it up to all interested parties. Please think about this and help to decide.
Last winter we enjoyed a marked increase in attendance at the swims and in club memberships. If this trend continues we are close to being at the break-even point financially. If either declines, we may not be able to continue throughout the entire 2008-2009 season. Something to think about.
I hope you will all join us at the swims, attend the meeting and encourage others to join as members.
Pass the word! See you soon! And Stay Naked!

Successful Club Visitation to Paradise Gardens
The Buckeye Naturists visited Paradise Gardens over the weekend (June 20-22) and a great time was had by all. Our friends from Have Sun Will Travel joined us.
This was the first time to visit Paradise Gardens for many of us and we were quite impressed. PG is an upscale nudist resort set on 35 acres. There were dozens of season-long campers and a healthy number of club members out in the sun Saturday afternoon.
Our folks enjoyed the pool, volleyball, petanque, hiking, sunning and conversation as well as a fine potluck dinner hosted by TBN for Saturday supper. The club furnished turkey and pulled chicken barbecue and lemonade.
There were a total of 8 visitors from TBN in addition to the HSWT members (didn't get a count for them) and, although there was a late-afternoon thundershower to cool things off, that really didn't hamper our activities.
Our next visitation will be July 11-13 (main day June 12) at Cedar Trails. This will be National Nude Weekend, so we're hoping for a good turnout.
