As I wrote in the comments to my previous post about closing of the Lighthouse beach for clothing-optional use, Naturist Action Committee (NAC) seems to have taken this issue seriously and are working on lobbying against the nudity ban on Fire Island. So, the best we, the people who enjoy the beaches of Fire Island, can do for now is to support NAC. There is a perfect opportunity for that at the upcoming fundraiser event in Long Island this coming Thursday, the 21st of March.
It’s going to be a fun-draiser!
Here is info from the event’s facebook page:
| So you heard and it’s true, Lighthouse Beach has been shut down. This is our home, where families have been going for generations, where lovers have met for the first time, where we created bonds that last all year round and essentially our “Nude Family” lives. Well What now??? We need to unite and do our best to battle the decision. What better way to join forces then to have a meet and greet fundraiser and unify our voices. Oh and let’s make it Clothing Optional!!! All proceeds will be given to The Naturists Action Committee, who already has a Lawyer on retainer and lobbyists in Washington D.C. The Naturist Action Committee is the non-profit political adjunct to The Naturist Society (TNS). NAC is a grass roots organization that relies on the involvement and participation of individual naturists and groups at local levels. They are soley based on donations. So let’s get together, show our support for Lighthouse Beach and begin to unite all our groups together in effort to be one solid front in combating this decision. There is a chance we won’t win, but we couldn’t be satisfied with losing if we didn’t put all our collaborated efforts together and given them everything we got. Even if we don’t win, let’s set an example for the rest of the Nation and let them know what the real Lighthouse Beach is about and stop this nonsense about it being a bunch of “Drunken, brawling, drug-using, prostitutes” like the media and other officials would like to portray the majority of beach users as. —————————–************———————————– $25/Ticket 21+ EVENT Can’t make the event but want to show your support please click on the link below and select the donation option to show your support for the fundraiser. ****************************************************** ******************************************************* ******************************************************* ***************************************************** Bob Morton the director of The Naturist Action Committee will be joining us via Skype to answer some of our questions and give the scoop on the latest news!! ******************************************************* – Chinese & Silent Auctions Raffle & 50/50 Some Auction Items we Already Have: * 1 Hour Massage And many more generous donations…… We are accepting donations for the auction items from friends, families, & local businesses until March 18th. |

the situation is still not very promising. Naturist Action Committee is now urging to write letters to park officials and politicians. For more info, refer to http://www.naturistaction.org/fiis

We have page on our website which has become a kind of unofficial clearing house for news about the Lighthouse battle, and the organizations involved have been keeping us as updated as anyone. Plus we add whatever else we find related to it which offers new info.

I’m not sure I’ll go because it seems quite far from the city indeed. But what do you mean it’s not clear what kind of event it is? Bar, music, raffle.
