Pool Party/BBQ Weekends	There is nothing like getting an all-over tan in the privacy of a backyard, with a pool and Jacuzzi nearby. Some events may promote a different theme (Toga, Cinco de Mayo, Chili cook-off, etc.) but always there is a pot-luck or BBQ. We attempt to move each monthly party around geographically (San Gabriel Valley, West LA, San Fernando Valley, Ventura, Santa Barbara) so that they are convenient to the majority of members.
Potpourri Weekends	Often we sponsor a special event such as a trip to a museum, theater, etc. These are not always “clothing-optional.” One of our members owns a 41-ft sailboat so we also try to include a few open water trips out to the Channel Islands during the summer months.
Resort/Beach Weekend	One weekend each month we arrange for special club discounts at one of the existing naturist resorts or parks, or we may spend that weekend at a local nude beach (San Onofre, Avila/Pirate’s Cove, More Mesa.) Our club card is accepted at Glen Eden (Corona), Deer Park (Devore), Olive Dell (Colton), and Desert Sun (formerly Desert Shadows in Palm Springs.) Members are especially fond of attending these resorts’ special themed weekends such as the Nudestock music festival, a Polynesian Luau, Body Painting, Volleyball tournament, Karaoke Night, etc.)
General Membership Meetings	Regular monthly meetings of the member-elected Executive Board are open to all paid members. Election meetings are held each July. This is a participatory culture, so we hope you will volunteer some time to help us with party activities, newsletter mailings, or our community services. Twice a month SCNA hosts general discussion meetings in Van Nuys and Ventura at a local restaurant. These are clothed events open to the public and are perfect for first timers and others curious about the naturist way of life to meet club members and ask any questions they may have. Often, there is a guest speaker on topics of interest such as sailing, skin care, nudity laws, etc. See the specific month's Calendar for more information about this schedule.

SCNA MONTHLY MEET-UP DINNER & DISCUSSION GROUP Each month, SCNA hosts a monthly dinner and discussion group at different pizza parlors or restaurants around the greater Los Angeles area. This is a way to introduce new people to naturism and to dispel mistaken impressions that non-nudists may have about us. Anyone with a sincere interest in discussing naturist issues is welcome. Dinners will be "dutch". Bring yourselves, some money for food, and your thoughts and enthusiasm. Also bring your curious friends and spouses! Reservations are not required but a call to the SCNA Message Center at (818) 225-2273 or (805 910-8277 is appreciated so we can anticipate the head count.
