Dear Naturist Friend,

Happy nude year to all our naturist friends!

Now that the B.E.A.C.H.E.S. Nude Year Festival is over, we'd like you remind you of several upcoming naturist events at the end of this newsletter.


2012 HAULOVER
NUDE YEAR FESTIVAL

fire twirlers, drummers, dancers, music, food, drink & fun

afterword & photos here


The 3 day New Years Event went relatively smoothly, with three days of music, entertainment, great food and drink on the beach, as well as tent camping behind the Ocean Palm Hotel. 

Several canopies were set up for the purpose of providing information to the beach visitors and to answer question on naturist opportunities.

Bare Necessities staff were there to answer questions on their several upcoming clothing-optional cruises. 

Gay Naturists International had volunteers in their booth to discuss their association and promote their upcoming social calender and resort visits.  Naturists should know that GNI is one of the largest financial contributors to the Naturist Action Committee.

South Florida Free Beaches volunteers staffed our info booth all three days.  Thanks to our overnight security team Fred Suarez, Norma Mitchell, Paul Friderich and Ruth B. who guarded everything overnight. Thanks also to David Baum for the great event photos.

CAMBIUM IS COMING TO TOWN!

Starting from scratch, Francois Harley is well on the way to his dream of creating a holistic naturist community in the Dominican Republic for those who wish to live, work and play naked. The Cambium philosophy is to live within our energy footprint in an ecologically sustainable way.  You've probably noticed Cambium has been advertising with us for several months, but maybe you'd like to know more.

Designed for 500 residents on 175 pristine acres, Cambium is just minutes from sugar-sand beaches.  If you've been yearning to live in a  tropical paradise,  or just own a vacation home there, this might be the place for you.  Learn more at cambiumbene.com


Now, for the first time in South Florida, attend a presentation on this unique international community at the Newport Beach Resort, just 1/2 mile north of Haulover.  Please RSVP by email to Norma Mitchell at norma-cambium@earthlink.net.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 2012.

Registration at 6:30 PM, presentation starts at 7:00 PM

The Newport Beachside Resort
16701 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach

The Newport is offering attendees who wish to stay overnight a corporate room discount rate.  Call (305) 949-1300 for reservations.


Florida Legislature Report

The Florida State Legislature will be starting the 2012 Legislative Session soon. 

Committees of the legislature have been meeting since last November's election for the purpose of developing the agenda as well as to seek support for proposed bills.

Florida's 2012 House and Senate are the most conservative in the past 20 years. We would not be surprised if the groups that support anti-nudity and "family values" laws through legislation have bills submitted that would have a negative effect on the nudity at Haulover Beach as well as other beach locations in Florida.

With conservative legislators relying on the support of organized political groups on the political right, they will find it difficult not oppose any bill that is submitted, and impossible to vote NO once a bill is on the floor.

South Florida Free Beaches/Florida Naturist Association will be working with our paid Tallahassee lobbying firm to review legislation and request help from our supporters by asking they contact legislators to oppose such bills that my be placed on the agenda, or to modify them so they do not threaten nude recreation.

You can financially support our Political Action Program by sending donations to:
