Sun Island Resort Closed after 50 Years

Just thought I would pass this along:

May 23, 2008

We are saddened to inform you that Sun Island Resort is closed effective
this date. After over fifty years of being a nudist resort formally known
as Swallows Sun Island Club it has become necessary to take this drastic
step as a result of recent events beyond our control.

For those of you reading this message that are still active members we will
be prorating your membership fees and refunding the remaining fees to you.
This should occur sometime in the month of June 2008.

The management of Jim and Ruth Shafer wish to thank all of you have been so
faithful to Sue Latimer, the former owner and matriarch of Swallows, the
Swallows Club and to us during our fourteen plus years as owners.

That is sad to hear. The Swallows club was the first resort outing the wife and I attended back in about 1957ish? We were pretty young then!! I remember the pool was really cold!

Sad to hear, visited here after the fires and really liked the place. Does anyone know what really happened?

The owners wanted to retire. The fires were too much to come back from.

That is a real shame. I have stayed there many times over the years. I will miss the place. Maybe somebody else can take it over.

To bad, they had mostly rebuilt during our visit after the fires. We were actually talking with them about purchasing a lot/mobile home after our visit. It would be sad indeed to lose this location after all the history, maybe someone will bring it back...
