E-Bulletin May 22, 2008 - Volume 2, Issue 11 Bay To Breakers Draws Huge Crowd Often considered a cross between a serious race and a street part this year’s Bay To Breakers race in San Francisco lived up to the hype. Over 60,000 participants ran through the streets of San Francisco to the Pacific Ocean during the 97th annual race nude, in outlandish costumes, and in serious running gear for the city’s biggest party of the year. John Korir of Kenya, won the 12-kilometer men’s division race for the second year in a row with a time of 34 minutes and 24 seconds. Lineth Chepkurui, also from Kenya, won in the women’s division with a time of 39 minutes, 22 seconds. Onlookers partied in the streets to music in true San Francisco style.

This is an Action Alert from the Naturist Action Committee. NAC is asking for your immediate help in responding to a serious threat in the state of California.

NAC has learned that Ruth Coleman, Director of California’s Department of Parks and Recreation, has abruptly revoked the application of the Department’s Cahill Policy, as it applies to clothing-optional portions of San Onofre State Beach in San Diego County. Rangers have been told to begin “educating” beachgoers, starting June 1. The issuing of citations for nudity in the traditional clothing-optional area is to follow after 30 days.

Get ready for the Fourth Annual World Naked Gardening Day (WNGD)! People across the globe are encouraged, on Saturday, May 3, 2008 to tend their portion of the world’s garden clothed as nature intended.

Gardening has a timeless quality, and anyone can do it: young and old, singles or groups, the fit and infirm, urban and rural. An elderly lady in a Manhattan apartment can plant new annuals in her window box. Families can rake leaves in their back yard. Freehikers can pull invasive weeds along their favorite stretch of trail. More daring groups can make rapid clothes-free sorties into public parks to do community-friendly stealth cleanups.
