Greetings!
Our naturist new year greeting comes from
The Prophet by Khalil Gibran:
"Your clothes conceal much of your beauty, yet they hide not the unbeautiful...Would that you could meet the sun and the wind with more of your skin and less of your raiment, for the breath of life is in the sunlight and the hand of life is in the wind."
With your support, South Florida Free Beaches strives to turn that wish into reality. |
FLORIDA BEACH UPDATE
The Dec. NAC Newsletter includes a Florida Beach Update by Morley Schloss. As a Florida board member of NAC, Morley has been working closely with South Florida Free Beaches and B.E.A.C.H.E.S. Foundation on lobbying efforts to obtain additional naturist beaches in Florida, as discussed in the article.

Social Club changes & reorganization
A recent email on our social club reorganization caused some confusion. A fuller and, we hope simpler, explanation follows. Please note the social club signup is a separate option and it does not affect your receipt of this enewsletter:
For those interested in attending South Florida social events with their fellow naturists, SFFB is reorganizing its Social Club. Events will not be limited to nude or clothing optional events but will also include clothed outings to local venues such as restaurants, night clubs, movie nights, and maybe the opera.
Among the advantages of Meetup are:
- Your email address used at that site will remain private.
- You may select from a number of notification and communication options as you prefer.
Among events that have already been held are:
- Dec. 17: An advance screening of the new movie The Morgans
- Dec. 23: A night of music with The Fabulons on Hollywood Beach
Please note: effective immediately, SFFB is discontinuing the SunClub Group with notifications through Evite, and the Haulover Beach Social Club website and its associated Haulover Beach Social Club. Open naturist events at Haulover and elsewhere will continue to be posted in the SFFB enewsletter and on the website at sffb.com. If you are interested in other social activities with naturist friends, please join our Meetup group. If you were a member of one of the discontinued groups, your name will not automatically be added to the new Meetup group.

CA Nude Beach Update
New sign at San Onofre State Park in California
The elimination of long-standing naturist beach areas should be of concern to naturists everywhere.
Despite the CA Park Department's announced intent of eliminating nude sunbathing at San Onofre Beach, according to a poll commissioned by the Naturist Education Foundation, 79% of Californians believe people should be able to enjoy nude sunbathing at designated locations. View poll
Friends of San Onofre has also been posting updates on this issue at its website friendsofsanonofre.org. There is also a discussion of the status of and fines for a violation.
