s we come to the end of 2025, it is a time for reflection
and gratitude.
With every generation, we see changes – some positive,
some challenging, but it is our reaction to these changes that
determines our success or failure both as individuals and as
an organization.
Legislatively, we have seen unprecedented scrutiny of our
nudist values and philosophy. From nude images of minors,
nude adults in the presence of minors, and the trifecta of
alcohol, nudity, and minors, this is what is on the minds
of legislators, particularly in Florida. We have also seen
a rise in requests for assistance in issues where nudity is
misunderstood and is being weaponized against AANR
members. Donating to the GAT fund helps in our commitment
to preserve our nudist privileges.
As an organization, AANR has been reviewing our policies,
procedures, and the way we do business to ensure we are
responding to the changing environment. We no longer
have the luxury of resting on past achievements. Thanks
to the hard work of dedicated volunteers across numerous
committees, meaningful progress is being made – and our
members are noticing and expressing their appreciation.
I am personally grateful to belong to an organization that
works to protect my nude privileges and allows me to live
authentically, as well as embraces the values of wholesome,
family-oriented nudism. I am also thankful for the many
volunteers who stepped up to make changes that will keep
us at the forefront of nudism.
As we close out the year, I am honored to lead AANR into the
next chapter, and I appreciate every one of our members,
clubs, and affiliated businesses. AANR exists to serve you,
our members. Your thoughts and concerns are always
welcome, and your voices continue to shape our future.
I hope everyone has a Happy Holiday!l
Linda Webber
AANR President
