Dick, you are correct that only particular locations will be officially counted, but it does qualify as a great excuse to go out and support nudism en masse anyway. According to the AANR website "AANR plans to coordinate skinny-dipping events at participating clubs and legally-sanctioned nude beaches throughout North America" (http://www.aanr.com/skinny-dip.html - second paragraph). The closest club that I have seen advertise that they will be holding the event is Sandy Lane in Hutchinson, KS (http://www.sandylaneclub.com/index.html ). But, like I said before, that shouldn't preclude getting out and enjoying a (hopefully) great day of skinny-dipping and general nudist fun.
George and I won't be available that Saturday to join in the event as we will be taking a road trip to scout out a possible location for some future HN events. More information will follow on that front...
As far as I'm concerned, the more organized nudist activities there are, the more developed the nudist community in the Kansas City area will become. That, in turn, should lead to more organized events... I think that it just takes some sustained effort to get nudism rolling again. Everyone can help in that area by attending all the nudist events that you are able to, by welcoming new members to our community, and by organizing and holding events on your own.
As a side note, the HN information mailbox has recently been flooded with inquiries about the club, swims, and events. We are responding as quickly as possible to those inquiries. As a result, you should see many new faces at upcoming swims and I hope that everyone makes them feel welcome.
Thanks.
