SCNA MONTHLY MEET-UPS

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. This month's Meet-Ups:

Ventura/Santa Barbara: Friday Sept 6, 6:45PM - 8:30PM
San Fernando Valley: Sept 10 6:45PM – 8:30 PM
West L.A.: Location and Time not yet confirmed
Pasadena/Glendale: Monday Sept 16, 6:45PM - 8:30PM
South Bay/Torrance: Thursday Sept 26, 6:45PM - 8:30PM

NOTE: THE VENTURA MEETING IS ONE WEEK EARLY THIS MONTH TO AVOID YOM KIPPUR ON THE SECOND FRIDAY.

NUDE CO-ED YOGA!

We have two new instructors in two locations:

Canoga Park (serving the San Fernando Valley):
Saturday, September 21, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM
$15 PER PERSON
NO MINIMUM, MAXIMUM 20 STUDENTS

These classes are especially useful for people who suffer from low self-esteem and poor body image because it is done in a safe, nurturing environment. But it is open to anyone who wishes to discover an entirely new way of looking at your own body, spiritually and physically.

Advanced tickets can be purchased by directly from Olive Dell at 909-825-6619 or on their web site at http://olivedellranch.com/flyers/luau_tickets.pdf. YOU DO NOT PAY SCNA FOR YOUR LUAU TICKETS! For the Luau, please wear a Hawaiian shirt, lei, grass skirt or straw hat! (Note for first timers: this is a nudist resort, not a clothing optional resort. Except for special events, you are expected to be nude, as dictated by the weather. No clothing is allowed in the swimming pool, Jacuzzi or sauna.)

If you have not been there, the resort has a great restaurant on site with meals averaging $6/person. We have been told the overnight "birdhouse" cabins are selling out fast so call NOW if you want one or, if they are sold out, to be put on the waiting list. There are also RV hookups and camping sites available. (Call Olive Dell directly at 909-825-6619 to reserve.)

Call SCNA at (818) 225-2273 to get your name on the entrance list! We also have the names of some nearby motels for overnight accommodations if you do not wish to RV or camp. Directions to Olive Dell will be given to those who RSVP a few days before the event.

Saturday September 21, 9 AM TO NOON
CALIFORNIA BEACH CLEANUP DAY
Location: Bates Beach, Carpinteria

SCNA and Friends of Bates Beach are participating in this annual event at Bates. Bring gloves to wear and maybe a long-handled picker tool if you have one. Otherwise bags and other material will be provided. The 9am start time is assigned by the state Coastal Commission who is organizing the event statewide. If you can’t make the 9AM start time, you can still come as late at 11 am to help with the second half of the cleanup. Bring your own lunch and towel and chair and we can picnic on the beach afterwards, weather permitting.

Saturday September 28, Noon - 7PM
ANNUAL ICE CREAM SOCIAL AND POOL PARTY
LOCATION: Northridge
MEMBERS: $10, NON-MEMBERS: $20

What better way to celebrate the end of summer than with an Ice Cream Social? The club will provide the basic flavors (and some yogurt for those who must go sugar-free) and a large variety of toppings - build your own sundae!

Club also will provide soft drinks/water. Please bring a side dish to share. When you RSVP we will call you back and ask which food item you will bring so we can avoid duplications.

There will also be a 50-50 cash raffle.
