One can find videos, magazines and newsletters aimed to educate the naturally curious people like me, as well as to support and advocate for those who like to go nude at certain venues. Apparently some of the clubs are at designated areas like campgrounds and resorts, and some clubs meet at members' private property. The staff members that I spoke with were all very helpful, nice, and understanding of all my questions. I was given a lot of information to take with me about the organization. One can become a member of the association and receive timely newsletters on the lifestyle. I have never experienced the lifestyle, however it seems that it might be a liberating experience. I feel that being out in nature, with the water and trees in your natural state would be so awesome. . . I'm just not so sure if I want to see everyone's freedom. Maybe we should just all take turns to be free and rotate. . . idk. And I also think of how much self expression one finds in clothing and wonder if people simply rely heavily on hats and accessories without clothes at these venues. . .Seriously this must drive Rachel Zoe and clothes designers insane! And then there are other visuals that I imagine, like . . .cooking for example. . .and gardening / mowing the lawn. . . No.. . Hell no! We need clothes in life. But if there are times in which you feel clothing should be optional, AANR will make sure it happens for you!

I'm a LIFE member of this truly FUN organization, having joined in 1970, when it was known as the…read moreAmerican Sunbathing Association. The first affiliated club I joined was AVATAN, near the Twin Cities (Minnesota). I was then associated with MOUNTAIN AIR RANCH (near Denver), then LIVE OAK RANCH (outside Houston TX) and finally, I was a part of two former nudist resorts in Hawaii; one on Oahu (the island where Honolulu is) and the other was near Kihei, Maui. There is also a landed club near Sandy Valley, Nevada, an unincorporated area close to the California-Nevada border, around 50 miles away from Las Vegas. Cartoonists (and others who have never visited a nudist "place") are quick to joke about (or even deride) them. But those who have seriously visited a nudist park, resort, beach, luxury cruise liner, apartment complex, trailer village or camp (NEVER a "colony") find it to be "just another place to have wholesome fun," for entire families, kids included (they're natural-born nudists at heart). Yes, everyone is indeed naked or nude (there IS a difference in those terms) but to associate naturally naked folks with constant wild sex orgies, "is as wrong, as two left feet." At any well-operated nudist organization, you'll find mostly average, everyday folks whose only difference from conventional, "fabric-adorned society," is the simple fact that they believe you can have just as much (or more) fun, doing things that some people at one time associated only with being clothed. The fact is, you don't NEED clothes to Swim, Fish, Sail, play Volleyball (or Badminton), Basketball, Softball, Tennis, Hiking, Horseback riding, Water skiing, Shuffleboard, Bridge, Poker, Canasta, Dominoes, Checkers, Chess, Mahjong, Horseshoes or even Bowling (where permitted). All you need is just a minimum of two naked or nude people and a desire to fairly compete. (You can still play Solitaire by yourself, of course.) You can also, sans apparel, dine, chat, watch TV, or "debate" politics and religion (if the spirit moves you). Another thing you can do: Make new friends. There are (probably) 30,000 nudists in North America, at maybe 300 clubs (both are my estimates) and I'm sure that those folks would make you feel as welcome as they did for myself and my ladies. So, if you have the opportunity to visit such a place some day, take it. I'm betting that once you have REALLY experienced the lifestyle (and given it a "fair shot"), you might wish to return to it, often. And one final note, which cannot be explained: More WOMEN (than men) seem to take to (and enjoy) it... Their website is here: http://www.aanr.com

I remember my first time. I went in with reservation and excitement at the same time. I was nervous because it's having dinner with 6 strangers, but the reviews convince me. It's totally worth it. My nerves were eased as the night progressed. You are asked silly and sometimes serious questions to make the night fun. Now, I can't get enough of it. I always get excited when I get selected.

While I partook in a private dinner party with some coworkers, it was still an elevated experience from anything we would've found at a restaurant. With different venues for each meal, our setting was the backyard of the fab Orlando CM Andi P. Dana from The Dinner Party Project enhanced the space with such beautiful place settings and decorations. It looked like it was ripped from a magazine. The food... Where do I begin? Local chef Julian Degarden was in the kitchen and prepared for us an amazing meal. While sipping on a Florida Mule featuring spirits from St. Augustine Distillery, Dana passed around a chicken liver mousse crostini with honey and maldon salt. I'm not a big pate person but this combination was perfect. I wanted to eat more than one but glad I saved room for the main meal. We were served a beautiful beet salad and my favorite dish of maybe all my eats in Orlando that week, the bucatini bolognese. Honestly, this is a pasta I still dream about. It was cooked perfectly al dente and the rich beef ragu had me wiping the plate clean. It didn't end there. Desserts from Buttermilk Bakery were the icing on the cake (literally). My favorite was the strawberry cake and I'm not even a big fan of strawberries. It was super moist and flavorful, not to mention beautiful! More important than the food (maybe), is the conversation! After all, the joy of The Dinner Party Project is connecting with new folks. Dana guided our conversation with questions like, "If you could sign anything into law, what would it be?" And a classic, "Who would you most want to have a meal with dead or living?" While it was maybe a little hard to wrangle our loud and chatty group of CMs in, it was fun to learn more about each other in a fun and different way when we did get around to answering. If The Dinner Party Project was in Miami, I'd definitely jump on board immediately! For those in Orlando, get your name on their list ASAP.

And bonus- he sometimes dons his full Spider Man get-up! Ricardo has been hosting for a few years and he brings a new energy into the event as well as a focus on highlighting women and POC in an event that often features a ton of white guys. Another change is that the venue rotates. Sometimes it's at The Geek Easy, sometimes Purple Rock Scissors' offices in the Plaza building downtown. Either location, it's always a blast and the feel is casual and encouraging. Three speakers get to present and there's Q&A after each presentation. The folks in the room are from all different sectors in Orlando, but what they share in common is a love for Orlando and it's cool citizens. Finally, you'll see Nerd Nite Orlando recognized all over including, including presentations for an event at Orlando Science Center, and Comicon!! Support folks supporting our awesome city!

The concept is simple, there's three speakers that get about 20 minutes each to talk about a nerdy topic they're passionate about, even if they're not experts or scholars. Of course, there's drinking happening, and a very laid back and fun atmosphere where usually one can learn something, or at least get a good laugh. This is probably my favorite FREE event in town. Yes, it's free! They take donations, but you just have to show up and listen, but why wouldn't you grab a drink? The event moves around town, so keep an eye on their facebook page or sign up for the newsletter to know where they'll be, or if they have any special happenings for the month.

Our server, Maria, then brought me a taste of the Caesar salad and it too was outstanding. They prepare it freshly table-side and I love that they had anchovies . They have weekly chef specials and we had the lobster Thermidor. Large, fresh and absolutely decadent. Every bite was packed with flavor.

Sixteen women were invited to the first meeting. It is one of the oldest not for profit organizations in Winter Park. Morse served as the clubs first President, Lucy Blackman as Vice President, and Mrs. Hiram Power as secretary. The club met in various places, people's homes, schools, the town hall, and the library. Mrs. Powers formed a committee and began the search for land for a permanent building for the club in 1917. Mr. Charles H. Morse's eventually donated five city lots that had been the first tee of the golf club. WWI delayed construction of a building until 1919 when Percival Hutton was hired as the architect. The final cost of the building was $40,000 paid through donations and fund raising projects. The first meeting in the new clubhouse was on January 21, 1921. The Women's Club was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 4, 1995. The purpose of the club today is the same as when it was founded, to engage in charitable and educational efforts for the residents of Winter Park, to provide scholarships for students attending higher institutions of learning, and to preserve the history of both Winter Park and the club for future generations in the city. I was able to visit the Women's Club for a rummage sale. They also make their historic building available for private events like weddings.
