As nudists, sometimes we wonder why we pay AANR dues. In a 2014 article entitled, What AANR Does, published in the Northwest Nudescene, Mel Kanner reminds us. Here are some highlights of the things AANR does for its members:
- Creates programs for us
- Provides news about nudist activities via websites, The Bulletin, e-News
- Establishes PR campaigns to raise awareness and acceptability of nudism
- Supports us and our clubs in a variety of ways
- Most importantly, protects our rights as nudists
- Challenges anti-nudity laws and regulations
- Monitors legislative bills and takes action when needed
- Establishes Government Affairs Team at local and regional levels
- Maintains liaison with state and federal agencies
- Recognizes clubs and individuals promoting nudism
When it is time to pay membership dues, remember all the positive things AANR does for us.
