E-NEWSLETTER February 2010
Greetings!
 
We're announcing a Haulover Sand Sculpture contest, plus some preliminary info on planned B.E.A.C.H.E.S.' events.  In case you misssed our earlier announcements, we've included reminders on the Midwinter Naturist Festival and the 10-day Lake Como Volleyball Tournament.
 
Also, we present some information on BeachQuest 2010, our efforts to secure additional clothing-optional beaches in Florida.  
Sand Sculpture Contest 
 
Haulover Beach, Sunday February 21, 11:30 AM

We're going to section off an area to the right (south) of lifeguard stand #15 and host a sand castle building contest.  Bring your own buckets & sand shovels.
 
Pair up as a couple, or go solo and create something with a Valentine's Day Theme. Build a castle where lovers might want to live; a couple embracing; build an elaborate heart.  Let your imaginations run wild.

  1. First Prize:  a standard room for one night at the Newport Beach Resort.
  2. Second Prize:  dinner for two ($35 value) at the Newport Beach Resort.

BeachQuest 2010
 
South Florida Free Beaches & B.E.A.C.H.E.S. Foundation are committed to working to obtain additional clothing-optional beach areas on the public commons in Florida.  We will continue to update you on these efforts. 
 
Shirley Mason has targetted four sites for naturist beaches, geographically spread across Florida, as part of a proposal to the state of Florida, for implementation over the next five years.  This project is currently proceeding with ongoing meetings with key government administrators and officials, including detailed presentation materials and documentation.
 
Additionally, SFFB & B.E.A.C.H.E.S. continue to work in concert with other FL groups with their own efforts with municipal & county locations, as in Delray Beach.
 
Delray Beach:
 
On Wednesday January 27th, Bruce Frendahl of SFFB & B.E.A.C.H.E.S. joined Dave Armstrong of Delray Beach Naturists in a meeting with Delray Beach Mayor McDuffie to discuss the possiblity of establishing a naturist beach there. 
 
Separate meetings are planned with the City Commissioners and local business interests.  The clothing-optional beach idea had first been raised last year at a Delray community round table discussion.  Participating at that meeting were Dave Armstrong, Shirley & Richard Mason, and Morley Schloss of the Naturist Action Committee.
