Nude Recreation Week July 6-12

OSHKOSH, WIS. Skinny-dippers will celebrate Nude Recreation Week July
6 - 12, 2009 at oceans and lakeside beaches, on boats and in hot tubs
and backyard pools across the nation.


That's the word from The Naturist Society LLC, of Oshkosh, Wisconsin,
which has been coordinating local free beach groups in this
celebration since 1975.


"Hard economic times are causing Americans to look even harder for
nude and inexpensive places to visit. It behooves public officials to
give skinny-dipping its designated place in the sun by authorizing
enough nude beaches and good, safe locations to meet our growing
needs," says Nicky Hoffman Lee, spokeswoman for The Naturist Society
(TNS).


"Designated clothing-optional areas allow choices. Nobody needs to be
offended, and those who wish to enjoy the wind, water and sun clothes-
free may do so."


The theme for this year's Nude Recreation Week is, "TNS. The heart of
grassroots naturism." The Naturist Society has its roots in skinny-
dipping on public lands from way back in 1975 when Lee Baxandall, TNS
founder, stood on Truro Beach in Massachusetts and declared the very
first National Nude Beach Day. That event developed into National Nude
Weekend and then into the present-day Nude Recreation Week.


Skinny-dipping has been a part of our culture since Adam and Eve. True
naturists realize that there doesn't have to be a special occasion to
skinny-dip, they do it all year round. They simply want to take this
one week each year to show the general public that it is as American
as apple pie, Uncle Sam and those wonderful Norman Rockwell
paintings.


Won't you join in this year and get back to your grassroots? Check out
your local nude venue; be it a beach, hot spring, pool, backyard or
resort.


There are lots of naturist organizations around the world, but The
Naturist Society remains the true heart of grassroots naturism.
