Fall and Winter Swim Season Has Arrived!

[Rumple41]

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!
