In the current issue of The Bulletin, AANR President Pat Brown asks that each AANR member tell one person that he/she is a nudist:
"...
Several years ago Ron Oden, now mayor of Palm Springs, California, but at the time Palm Springs City Councilman, shared some thoughts with the AANR trustees during a board meeting at Desert Shadows Inn Resort and Villas. He explained that if citizens did not personally know a nudist, we offered them no alternative but to form their own stereotype of a nudist. We would have no control over how they typecast us. However, if we put a face on nudism - if they know that you, their next door neighbor, customer, co-worker, some of the nicest people in the world are nudists - then you will be the face of nudism.
...
I look forward to a small groundswell and an opportunity to educate thousands of people that there is a nudist in the neighborhood. Each of you is the best public relation program AANR has.
Share the experience."
