We are on the final days of 2007, and that means only a few more days of use of our Breast of Canada calendar that hangs on our wall.
Sue Richards, the artistic visionary of the Breast of Canada calendars has been recovering from a health issue, and therefore had to cancel the 2008 calendar. You can read more about that on her website at http://www.breastofcanada.com
We hope there will be a 2009 calendar. We have traditionally bought two every year, one for us, and one for a friend.
The artwork is exquisite, and very tasteful. In fact, I was so enamored by one photo that I purchased a copy from the artist. It hangs on my bedroom wall.
We wish Sue the best in her recovering, and hope that her health will allow the Breast of Canada calendar to continue.
Happy Nude Year, everyone.

SUBJECT: NAC files as amicus in Ohio topfree appeal
TO : All Naturists and other interested individuals
Dear Naturist,
The Naturist Action Committee has filed a legal memorandum with the Ohio Supreme Court in an appeal by a woman who was arrested and convicted for being topfree in a city park. NAC is acting as an amicus curiae, or "friend of the court," and its document supports the Court's acceptance of jurisdiction.
The woman, Lorien D. Bourne, is represented in her appeal by the Ohio chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, which has filed a separate memorandum in support of jurisdiction. The Ohio Supreme Court is not obligated to accept the case, so the documents at this stage are intended to persuade the Court to recognize the importance of the case, and to take it under review.
WHAT IS NAC ASKING YOU TO DO?
This is a NAC Advisory. You are not being asked to take any action.
Please watch for further Advisories and Updates from NAC on this issue.

Click on "Alerts, Advisories & Updates" to find this NAC Advisory and links to additional information. The NAC Web site presents an expanded discussion of the Bourne appeal, including the further information on its importance to naturists.

DATE : October 11, 2007
SUBJECT : NAC Huntington Beach Swim .. NEW DATE ..
TO : All Naturists and other interested individuals
Dear Naturist,
Because of a scheduling conflict, the Naturist Action Committee announces that the date of the NAC Huntington Beach Swim has been changed to Saturday, November 3, 2007.
The nude event in the municipally owned Huntington Beach City Gym had originally been scheduled for a week earlier on October 27. The new date should allow a greater number of naturists to participate. Responding to popular demand, we've also extended the event for an additional hour.
Essential information is repeated below, along with the date revision and a few clarifications.
YES, IT'S A LEGAL NUDE SWIM
NAC has rented the Huntington Beach City Gym from the City for this activity. NAC made the application and paid the fee, making certain at each step of the way that City bureaucrats understand this will be a nude swim.
WHEN : Saturday, November 3, 2007. 5:00 PM TO 8:00 PM
WHERE: Huntington Beach City Gym,
1600 Palm Avenue, Huntington Beach, CA
WHO : This is a family friendly nude swim, open to naturists of all
ages. Naturists and their guests are welcome.
FEE : $10 each, at the door.
ADMITTANCE: This is a private use of a public facility. The event is intended for naturists and is not open to the general public. There is no specific club or organization membership prerequisite, but if you are attending as an unaffiliated naturist, you may be asked for a naturist reference who can vouch for you.
Please bring a driver's license or other appropriate photo ID.
POLICIES: This is a nude event. Please use standard naturist etiquette. No cameras allowed. An official photographer will be taking a few photographs for NAC and for The Naturist Society's N magazine, but you may ask to be excluded from the pictures, if you wish.
IF YOU'D LIKE TO HELP
NAC is looking for volunteers to help prepare the facility and take a shift at the door on the day of the event. If you'd like to help, please contact NAC board member Allen Baylis by phone: (714) 962-0915 or by e-mail: rab@baylislaw.com
MORE INFORMATION
NAC is not typically in the business of conducting recreational activities, but this event is not only a couple of hours of fun. It's important as a "proof of concept." As a demonstration of what naturists can do when they work with local governments, it follows in the pattern of the successful NAC Seattle Swims, a series of six monthly swims in municipal pools that began in Seattle a year ago.
Although NAC vigorously opposed the recent Huntington Beach anti-nudity ordinance and greatly regrets its adoption by the City Council, this event is NOT a protest. It's a nude swim. Come out and enjoy it!
For more information about the facility itself, visit the Huntington Beach web site.

Is Naturism getting older?
I just received the latest issues of "N" Magazine from the Naturist Society, and "Going Natural", the magazine of the Federation of Canadian Nudists (FCN).
I truly enjoy reading both magazines (although I just can't read the French articles in "Going Natural", but...
There are no pictures of people under 45.
Both magazines had news articles on the World Nude Bike Ride, which featured mostly college students riding nude in a protest ride, but none of them were nudists or naturist.
The only photos were of people my age... old.
I'm not trying to promote age discrimination here, but if naturism is going to attract a new crowd, then we have to show that the new crowd is out there enjoying being naked.
Am I wrong here? You tell me.

Welcome to the CO Digest Blog
Welcome to the CO Digest Blog. Although we ceased publication of the CO Digest nearly a year ago, there seems to be a void in the naturist community.
So, we are going to use this blog to disseminate naturist information to you.
Thanks for your support over these many years.
