The Free Beaches Documentation Center Along with establishing National Nude Weekend, Baxandall and Callen agreed that a facility to store the main materials of the clothes-optional movement was desired. Baxandall volunteered to use his Oshkosh facilities to house these files and to have Oshkosh be Why Naturist Pen Names Has Some Naturists All Hot and Bothered for a new Free Beaches Documentation Center. Initially, the FBDC concentrated on assembling info pertaining to bare swimming places (i.e., free beaches), but soon expanded to concern itself with all components of clothes-free use of public properties. It intended to preserve files like posters, flyers, manifestos, news items, photographs, legal documents and publicity paraphernalia for use by students and writers with serious interest. The FBDC rapidly enlarged its first goals to include printing and distributing a paper. In June 1976 the first issue of Free Beaches was distributed. Copies were available for the price of a donation to the FBDC. Following problems, made once per year through 1980 and getting name changes, were titled Free Beaches Sunand ultimately Sun. The tabloid provided updates on where readers could recreate nude, and it kept them abreast of challenges to their naturist freedoms. Sun included short articles describing the pleasure of social nudity, offered informal surveys about societal attitudes about the body, and alarmed readers to special events that naturists would probably be interested in. In October 1979, the FBDC organized a workshop for the annual convention of the National Recreation and Parks Association held in Fresh Orleans. This was the first time a naturist or naturist group had participated in this national event. The workshop was attended by about 150 alert central and top level park supervisors. Baxandall and Jan Smith started with a 23-minute, professionally produced slide and audio show titled "Nude Recreation In America." After the slide show Baxandall successfully debated Lawrence Hadley (now retired from Cape Cod) and two other part manager panelists on the virtues of nude use of Truro strand. In March 1981, Baxandall, Durand Steiger, and Jake Satin Jacobs offered a similar workshop at the regional California and Pacific Northwest Recreation and Park Convention held in San Diego, California. John Fitz-Gerald gave yet a third workshop on About the Writer (Author Profile) , 1983 at the National Recreation and Park Association's annual convention. After 1985, the American Sunbathing Association (now the American Association for Nude Recreation) would sanction an interest in bare recreation on public lands and has participated in similar conventions throughout the 1990s. 1980-1981: A "Naturist Society" is Formed, Naturist Assemblies Are Arranged, and the First Version of the World Guide To Nude Beaches & Recreation Is Sold Website Link: http://www.animuj.pl/wiki/index.php?title=Why-Nudist-Pen-Names-Has-Some-Naturists-All-Hot-and-Bothered-u http://59.125.224.93/MediaWiki/index.php?title=About-the-Writer-Author-Profile-l
