Minnesota Naturists

IDES OF MARCH PARTY (note corrected date and time)

At Claudia’s in South Minneapolis. $5 fee covers appetizers fit for a “king” or at least a Caesar’s last snack. Claudia said this is finger-food and not an actual meal but no one will leave hungry. Clothing optional–togas OK.

VIDEO NIGHT

At Don’s near Cretin and Grand in St. Paul. This is the second of our Harry Potter Movie Series—we’ll watch the second movie and, if interest continues, we’ll watch one Harry Potter movie each of the next several months. No charge. Bring a snack to share and your favorite beverage.

INFO MEETING

A clothed visit with Minnesota Naturists members at a Twin Cities community room to learn a little about social nudity opportunities in Minnesota. Newbies call 800 242-1832 for location.

MASSAGE ACTIVITY 2 - 5PM

Hosted by David and Margaret at Don’s. The Minnesota Naturists have had group massage events in the past, which have taken various forms depending on who is hosting and/or facilitating. We will be setting up the guidelines and etiquette for this event at the beginning of the session according to the expectations of those who attend. Discuss those with Margaret when you RSVP. Three or four tables have been volunteered. Our thanks to those who are sharing their portable tables with the entire group. Margaret & David are trained massage therapists who have facilitated massage events for the Minnesota Naturists off and on over the past 18 years that we have been members. We will supply massage oil and a lotion option. Feel free to bring your own, but check the scent with those around you before using in case of allergies. Subtle scents or no scents are best, but there can be an aromatherapy value to some scents (e.g., lavender). Table linens and hand cleansers will also be provided, $5 fee.

WINE TASTING IN APPLE VALLEY

Help Sue raise $3,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society with your $10 minimum donation per person (see member view for complete info).

Bring: Your towel, a bottle of your favorite wine and snacks to share.

AARP DRIVER SAFETY PROGRAM 9AM - 5PM

This is a clothing-optional opportunity to take advantage of a Minnesota law that requires your auto insurance company to give you a 10% discount for three years if you’re 55 or older and take an adult driver safety program.. There is a $14 charge for the course. Note that this all-day course for first-timers can also serve as the refresher course required every three years. An AARP instructor who is a Minnesota Naturists member will teach this at Don’s near Cretin and Grand in St Paul. Bring a bag lunch or chip in for lunch that we’ll order in. RSVP to Don by Saturday, April 24th

NAKED HIKING DAY

There is a longstanding tradition, on the Appalachian Trail, of observing the summer solstice as “naked hiking day”. That tradition is being picked up elsewhere. While every day when conditions allow is a good time for a nude hike, let’s make a special effort to observe naked hiking day in our neck of the woods.
