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.

The hallmark of Yin Yoga is that poses are held for about three to five minutes at a time in order to the stretch the connective tissue around the joints.

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.

General Members Meeting

July is time for our General Members Meeting.

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

Due to current restrictions on group activities, we changed the bylaws to allow for club meetings to be held online, and for our election of directors to be held outside of the prescribed General Members Meeting. This year we are holding the election by mail-in ballot. The results of the election will be announced at this meeting.

The meeting is scheduled from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, but the actual business should be done in a much shorter time. We will keep the meeting line open for discussion and socializing after the adjournment.

There will be an online meeting of the new board of directors on the following day, where the officers for the next term will be chosen. All participating are encouraged to join that meeting and volunteer to be an officer of the SCNA. Please let us know soon if you would like to run for one of the offices.

RSVP

Contact SCNA and let us know if you will be attending, and if you have any business to raise at the meeting or nominations to submit.

Login information for the online meeting will be provided in the official meeting notice. We look forward to seeing you at this important event.

The SCNA Board of Directors meets approximately once a month to plan the activities and operations of the club. This meeting is the first for the newly elected board. At this meeting, in addition to regular business, the board will select the officers that will perform official functions for the club.

All SCNA participating members are always encouraged to attend board meetings. Only directors are allowed to vote, but all ideas and opinions are appreciated.

The meeting is scheduled from Noon to about 6:00 pm, but we hope that the business may be done in a much shorter time.

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.

Shangri La Ranch in Arizona 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.

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 Shangri La Ranch at 623-465-5959 or JoinUs@ShangriLaRanch.com 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.
