What Your Association Stands For

 Below is an excerpt from AANR President John Kinman's President's Podium column that will appear in the October issue of The Bulletin.
For the
second time in 15 months, the AANR Board of Trustees voted to suspend the
charter of a major club in Florida. The particulars were different, but both
centered on the board's feelings that the marketing practices of the clubs were
contrary to our principles and standards related to sexual exploitation of the
human body.
In the past
several years, AANR has been very successful in changing public perception
about nude recreation. Major media
outlets have featured nude recreation as a legitimate recreational choice. AANR has also been very successful in
changing the viewpoint of elected officials and government agencies. We have differentiated ourselves from the
adult business industry. We are being
recognized as the credible voice of reason for nude recreation. The affiliation with AANR has enabled many
clubs to get building permits, liquor licenses, and sometimes to be allowed to
exist. That public trust cannot be
jeopardized. ...

A Nude Approach
|
 Model Lizzi Miller created a stir in the fashion world after she appeared nude except for a thong in the September issue of Glamour magazine. Glamour--and other women's fashion magazines--typically feature thin, unrealistically-shaped supermodels. But Miller, at 180 lbs., posed nude for the issue, complete with "stomach pooch."
Readers immediately began flooding Glamour with positive responses for showing a "typical" American woman. Web sites such as Facebook, MSN and Jezebel.com joined the discusion. Glamour editor Cindi Leive told Matt Lauer on the Today show,"It's a sign of the times that women are really looking for a little bit more authenticity and little bit less artifice in every part of their lives."

Why Your AANR Membership Matters
|
"My membership has become more important to me as I have learned that
AANR is the association that assures my right to continue to enjoy nude
recreation at AANR clubs and public lands.
"AANR is truly recognized by the media and legislators alike as the credible
voice of reason for nude recreation. It
is also the association with strength of conviction and pride in its principles
and standards. A recent article on the
travel blog Examiner.com expressed it perfectly: 'If you're nakationing with
your family, be certain that your destination is AANR endorsed; you'll be able
to count on naturism at its best.'
"That's my AANR: Nudism at its best!"
