The Attitude of Gratitude
November provides us with meaningful opportunities to celebrate, remember, and give thanks.
Veterans Day is a time to recognize and honor those who have bravely served and those who continue to serve in our military. These individuals deserve our sincere gratitude for their service and sacrifices in protecting the freedoms we sometimes take for granted.
Thanksgiving is another special time to express our gratefulness and appreciation, often celebrated by gathering with family and friends around a shared meal.
As we honor our Veterans and remember their sacrifices, let us also honor their commitment by continuing the fight to protect the freedoms we hold dear. As we gather with family and friends for Thanksgiving, let us give thanks for the freedoms that allow us to live and enjoy our nude philosophy.
I am especially grateful for our Government Affairs Team, which continues to work diligently to protect our nudist privileges. Monitoring legislation and responding to threats to our freedoms requires significant time, effort, and resources. This important work cannot be done without the support of our members, clubs, resorts, and participating businesses.
A threat in one state can quickly become a threat in additional states if it is not addressed proactively and head-on. By working together and supporting our Government Affairs efforts, we help protect the freedoms we enjoy today and preserve them for future generations. We have several raffles with the purpose of raising money for our work, that are ending in November. If you value the ability to be nude at resorts, beaches, and at our non-landed clubs, please consider participating in the raffle, making a direct donation, or dropping your pennies into the GAT jar found at many resorts and Regional meetings. If nude recreation is important to you, then help us keep this freedom available for all.
I am honored and privileged to be reelected as President of AANR for another term, serving you, our members, as well as continuing to educate those who do not understand how wonderful and freeing the nudist philosophy is…yet.
This November, let us remember those who fought for our freedoms, give thanks for the privileges we enjoy, and recommit ourselves to protecting them.
Linda Weber
AANR President
