CFI's "Nudes in the News" film crew will
be in Florida from April 22nd to the 28th. From the 25th to the 28th we
will be at the annual B.E.A.C.H.E.S. meeting at Haulover Beach, Florida.
We ask that all CFI members and guests available to attend please do. It
will be a lot of fun in the sun and a great chance to meet some of the
people behind CFI inlcuding the 22 year old President of CFI, Cory M. .
The more people the more fun, so make sure to bring all of your naturist
friends.
From the 22nd to the 24th of April, we are going
to be shooting a travel video at Club Caliente, Paradise Lakes, and Cypress
Cove. This video will be release in early summer along with two other CFI
DVD's. Our latest production will be released in early May, title Mexico
Sol. This is a great travel documentary of three fine naturist resorts
on the Mayan Riviera in Mexico.
If you are going to be, or live in Florida, please
join us for some fun in the sun.

MENTORING AND MANAGING CLOTHING OPTIONAL BEACHES
(Richard Mason, Marcus Breece, Jim Hoover)
What does it really take? Park mangers
and staff, law enforcement agencies,
and even the local hospitality industry are community
stakeholders in a
clothing optional beach. They are the organized
naturist user group's
potential partners to help in the management
of the beach. Establishing a
Beach Ambassador Program and how to empower users,
working with authorities
to help manage and maintain a safe, crime-free,
family-friendly atmosphere at
a clothing-optional beach.

UNDERSTANDING THE VALUE OF CLOTHING OPTIONAL BEACHES
(Shirley Mason, Robert Hoadley, Jim Boucher)
Until naturists and naturist leaders, business
and government understand the
"real" value in language they all speak ($$$),
the nude recreational market
and its impact will continue to be marginalized.
Saturday, 7:00 - 9:30 p - Banquet (Margaux Rm
- hotel poolside)
MAINSTREAMING CLOTHING OPTIONAL BEACHES AND NATURISM
(Nicky Hoffman, William Martin, Marvin Frandsen)
Don't fear government, business associations
or the media when it comes to
educating the general public in the continuation
of c/o use of the beach.
What existing information, documentation, studies,
and legislation are
available and/or what is needed to dispel common
myths about mere nudity on
public lands? Understanding and applying
the Religious Freedom Restoration
Act to help us secure our clothing optional beaches
and other First
Amendment-style activities and events.
