- Well, some of us were concerned that we'd have a hard time organizing in
- the dead of winter. Based on what we've accomplished over the phone in
- the last couple of days, we're starting to feel cautiously optomistic.
- We don't know what our opposition is doing, but here's what we've done so far.
-
- o A group of about 100 of us are getting together this Saturday (at our
- local "swims") to kick-off a letter writing campaign and organizational
- meetings.
-
- o The politically active among us are gathering info from their contacts
- in government.
-
- o The local alternative radio and newspapers have been contacted (KBOO &
- Willamette Week) and are interested in reporting on the situation.
-
- o Local and national nudist organizations have been, or will be contacted
- for advice, representation and support.
-
- Local groups include: The Willamettans, The Sun Rovers, Hidden Springs
- Restful Haven, and Squaw Mountain Ranch.
-
- National groups: The ASA (by way of NSA trustee, Wayne Roberts).
- The Naturist Society (by way of email, and
- hopefully these postings).
-
- o We've contacted the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Dept to let them know that
- we expect to be involved in any decisions that may impact nude use of
- Sauvie's beaches. They told us that they are legally obligated to involve
- anyone who requests involvement and to keep them updated as to the
- situation. Several of us contacted the OFW and more or less got the same
- story from a variety of contacts there.
