Dear Naturist Friend: BONDING IN THE BUFF - A New Partnership Haulover Beach, as on virtually all established naturist beaches, has a population of gay sunworshipers. They love having the luxury of a nude beach in South Florida, as do we all. In an effort to reach this population, we have established a working partnership between South Florida Free Beaches and Gay Naturists International (GNI), the world’s foremost association of male naturists. Our goal is to engage more gay Haulover fans in supporting our efforts to keep our beach clothing-optional through political action and mentoring of the beach through our relationship with Parks Administration. We’ve been exploring this possibility for the last year, culminating with an invitation to attend their Annual Board meeting in January where we were well received. GNI’s Club Liaison, Seth Paronick, attended our SFFB Annual Board Retreat in January, giving everyone an opportunity to ask questions.
Combined SFFB & GNI Board of Directors and Shirley Mason, B.E.A.C.H.E.S. Foundation The WildFyre Society (www.WildFyreSociety.org) and Gold Coast Bare Skins (www.goldcoastbareskins.org), both based in Ft. Lauderdale, and Tamiami Area Nudists ( www.tamiamiareanudist.com), based in the Ft. Myers/Naples area. To get a better sense of the breadth and depth of the organ-ized men's naturist community both in Florida and elsewhere, explore the "Naked Communities" section of GNI's web site at www.gaynaturists.org, especially Nude Clubs and Naked Yoga. Use the right-side navigation column or this shortcut: GNI’s flagship event, The Gathering (officially known as The Annual International Gathering of Male Naturists), is the largest organized nude rendezvous on land in the world. It’s being held in the Pocono Mountains of eastern Pennsylvania, August 16-25, 2013. Registration pens in April. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- BEACH AMBASSADOR TRAINING (& pizza party) Meet us Haulover by Lifeguard Tower 15 at 10:00. We’ll set up the Information Booth and spend some time educating you about SFFB, how to field questions, collect donations (involves begging) and sign up new members (involves twisting arms). BAs are required to attend two of the four training sessions a year in order to retain your Ambassador status, so I hope you’ll be able to get the first one under your belt (I mean hat). The only other requirement we ask of our volunteers is to spend a minimum of 8 hours of BA beach time a month. BA's enjoy free parking at Haulover Park and designated North Lot parking spaces.
SFFB will be supplying pizza for lunch, so PLEASE RSVP to our Chief Ambassador Ken at ken_tauer@yahoo.com. HURRICANE SANDY LEFT HER MARK Although we missed the brunt of the super-storm in Miami, Sandy impacted our beach by displacing about three feet of sand off the shoreline, in effect shortening the pylons of the Lifeguard Towers. Fawlty Towers pool area. They have a pooside bar too. _________________________________________________ SERIOUS NAKED FUN AT LAKE COMO! Come on Haulover volleyballers. You look good on the beach! Think you could whip some landlubber's butt? _________________________________________________
We work with South Florida Free Beaches and their members have been very good at educating the public about clothing optional beach etiquette and calling the police when they see criminal activity or suspicious persons. Please feel free to contact me if you need additional information.
Thank you,
Tom Buchanan, Sergeant
