Originating with the first national Nude Beach Day, organized by Beachfront U.S.A. and Lee Baxandall in 1976, the second week in July is now designated Nude Recreation Week. This week provides an opportunity for the various nudist organizations throughout the country to reach out through the media to introduce people to the joys of naturism.

Each month SCNA hosts dinner and discussion groups at public restaurants around the greater Los Angeles area. These clothed events are a way to introduce people to naturism and the SCNA. We also take this opportunity to pass along the latest news affecting nudists in our region and beyond.

Since we need to get to know each other before we can invite you to one of our clothing-optional events, you must first attend one of these meet-up dinners.

Anyone with a sincere interest in naturism is welcome. All questions are appreciated. We look forward to meeting you.

Denny's Restaurant, 16575 Sherman Way, Van Nuys

Each month, SCNA hosts a monthly (clothed) dinner and discussion group at different public restaurants around the greater Los Angeles area. This is a way to introduce new people to naturism and to dispel mistaken impressions that non-nudists may have about us. This meeting is also a prerequisite before we can invite you to one of our clothing-optional events. Anyone with a sincere interest in discussing naturist issues is welcome.

Our Ventura meetups are also used for coordinating Friends of Bates Beach activities.

This is a yoga class for men only, held monthly at a yoga studio in Canoga Park.

All classes take place on Saturday mornings from 9:30 – 10:30 AM.

For a class to be held, a minimum of five people are needed. RSVP directly to Johny at urbanbodies@hotmail.com.

Come improve your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being with other naturist men in a comfortable, affirming environment.

Aloha

We really appreciate our members and this year we will be showing it island-style.

The decor will be tropical and the food Polynesian. Paki is arranging for authentic island dishes for a great lunch experience.

The lunch buffet will be a complete meal, but we would love to see what appetizers, snacks or deserts you might share. An island theme would be most appropriate. As usual, the club will provide soft drinks and water.

This year we are again holding the Members Appreciation Party in conjunction with our annual General Members Meeting.

In keeping with the appreciation theme and for ready access to the meeting, there will be no charge to attend for participating SCNA members in good standing.

Guests and others attending will need to pay the standard event fee.

Of course, generous donations and participation in fund-raising activities is always helpful to support the mission of the SCNA.

General Members Meeting

July is again time for our General Members Meeting and election of a new board of directors!

SCNA is a California non-profit mutual-benefit corporation and our bylaws require us to hold an official members meeting at least once a year to review the finances and board actions. Our board meetings minutes and financial reports will be available for member inspection. Members may also consider motions to change how the club functions.

After the presentation of reports and other business, club members present will elect directors who will represent you for the next 12 months. The board, in turn, elects the club officers to serve for the upcoming year. We encourage everyone to participate! Please let us know soon if you would like to run for a position on the board of directors, or one of the offices.

The Meeting will be held after lunch, from approximately 2:30PM to 3:30PM. We hope to not interrupt your pool, spa and sun time too much.

Seating is limited, bring a folding chair and a towel to sit on.

RSVP

Contact SCNA and let us know if you are coming to this event, and if you have any business to raise at the meeting or nominations to submit.

Coco's Restaurant, 77 N Lake Ave, Pasadena, California, 91105

Friends of Bates Beach hosts a dinner meeting in Carpinteria on the third Tuesday each month (March through October) to plan our activities for North Rincon Beach. It is the primary coordination time for the Beach Ambassador program, community relations, and beach events.

This is also a way to introduce new people to naturism and the nude beach culture, to dispel mistaken impressions that people may have about us. Anyone with a sincere interest in discussing naturist issues is welcome. Bring yourselves, some money for food, and your thoughts and enthusiasm. Also bring your curious friends and spouses!

Reservations are not required but a call to our Message Center at (818) 225-2273 or (805) 910-6210 is appreciated so we can anticipate the head count.

Friends of Bates Beach members also meet at the monthly SCNA meetup in Ventura.

The four days are full of fun, interesting workshops and events being sponsored by naturist leaders and clubs from all over the Western United States. Anyone who has gone to a Gathering before knows it is a great time to see old friends from other nudist groups (and to make new ones!). It’s a great way to connect with others, and share experiences and advice all can use to enjoy naturism even more.

SCNA usually participates at this four-day annual meeting, hosting several “fun events” and several workshops, although a conflict witht eh AANR-West Convention may cause a change of plans. Even if you don’t want to participate in any of the events, Lupin Lodge is a beautiful place to vacation for a few days and relax!

We encourage those of you who will be attending to open your vehicles to carpooling. It’s also a great way to pass the time while traveling to the San Jose area. Let us know if you’re planning on going and can offer a ride.

Contact us at scna@socalnaturist.org or (818) 225-2273.

Rustic accommodations include yurts, some cabins and tenting options, along with some RV parking. Contact Lupin Lodge at (408) 353-9200 for availability and prices. Discounted Grounds Fees are available for those who register for the Gathering with TNS.

Mountain Air Ranch in Colorado will host the annual meeting of the Western Region of the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR-West.) Any AANR member is welcome and encouraged to attend the meetings. This convention is very important to naturists in our region.

AANR-West delegates, representing the members of each club or resort, will conduct business and hold elections for executive and director positions. If you are an AANR member and want to have a direct influence on improving AANR-West and naturism in our region, consider running for a position in the AANR-West leadership. If you want to be involved, we urge you to contact us and attend this meeting.

SCNA delegates will participate in several of the meetings (Marketing, Government Affairs, etc). While this is NOT an SCNA event, we would appreciate knowing who is going so we have a head count for our delegation.
Contact us at scna@socalnaturist.org or (818) 225-2273.

Accommodations, RV sites, and camping are available. Contact Mountain Air Ranch at (303) 697-4083 for availability and prices.

Another sunny beach event! To get our beach back it is important that we keep showing up to get the non-nudists who come to the beach to see they have nothing to fear from us, and that it is okay for us to claim the unused western end of the beach.

The Santa Barbara nudity law remains in effect. Persons removing their swimsuit do so at their own risk. Go as bare as you dare! Your decision, your choice!

Bring your own picnic supplies, chairs, bathing suits and sunscreen and make a day of it. Afterwards we will all go into Carpinteria to eat and pay for our meals with $2 bills!

Call us at (818) 225-2273 or RSVP to scna@socalnaturist.org.
