From the desk of Pat Plumstead, Executive Assistant – [email protected]
We have as a community experienced yet another loss to our clubs and Friends of AANR in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. LA Pines Ranch, located only 45 miles from New Orleans, continues to be under water. The members retreated to safer ground. Unfortunately, Linda Piety owner of Running Bare B&B in Long Beach, Mississippi, told us that her Inn is no longer there.
Offers of help and support have come into the office in Kissimmee. Many of our clubs are holding hurricane relief efforts. Paradise Lakes (866-794-6683) set up a raffle for this Labor Day weekend. Bring a bag of basic living necessities, canned goods, toiletries and other essentials and get a raffle ticket to enter a drawing for a free one year membership. Caliente (800-326-7731) is dedicating this month’s fundraiser to Hurricane Relief. A collection box will be in their lobby with a measuring thermometer – let’s put it over the TOP! Sunny Rest in Palmerton, PA has “Operation Sunny Rescue” to collect donations to be sent to the American Red Cross. Their goal is $5000.00 and management will match 10% of the amount raised Labor Day Weekend. Contact Sunny Rest at 610-377-2911.
Riviera Naturist Resort (850-994-3665) in Pace, Florida, located in Florida’s panhandle is searching for members in Louisiana and Mississippi. Also, Sunburst Resort (850-675-6807) in Milton Florida tells us that they are trying to contact many of their members who live in the affected areas.
Many individuals and clubs have also called with offers of lodging and work. Please call the AANR office regarding these situations.
Kim Sottini of Paradise Lakes in her recent email used Sir Winston Churchill’s quote,
To build may be a slow and laborious task of years.
To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.
Ruling Documents: At the end of the General Assembly 2005 many of the changes from the General Assembly 2004 (and all of the changes from 2005) went into effect. The AANR Bylaws, Procedure Manual and Official Forms have been updated and are available for download from the website, or if you wish an electronic copy or a hard copy, contact Nanette in the AANR Office.
One-Member, One-Vote: Remember that in 2006 our elections will be directly by the members. This process, however, begins right now with those who wish to consider office filling out a Nomination Form, getting the required endorsements, and sending it to the AANR Office. Nomination forms for Officer positions, for Club Trustee and for Member Trustee are available for download from the website, or if you wish an electronic copy or a hard copy, contact Nanette in the AANR Office. Or, if you have already downloaded the AANR Official Forms, they are contained in pages 10a through 16a of that document.
