12.2.23 Update
12.2.23 Update Hello everyone, it is with a heavy heart that I write this email. At the moment we are still without a board for the foundation, and the prospects for forming one, before the lease runs up in May, are not looking good. While we do have members still working on this, we don’t expect to make any headway until after the new year. At the moment, without a board, there’s a very good possibility that Lake Edun Foundation will loose its lease. If you want to see what you can do to help keep them open, please reach out to nude@lakeedun.com We hope everyone has a happy holidays, and a happy New Year! We’ll be back after that with more news.
9.12.23 Update
9.12.23 Update After the sweltering weather we have endured for the past several weeks, our reasonable Fall weather seems almost cold. We’re enjoying Goldilocks weather now; not too cold; not too hot; just right. It’s wonderful to feel the breeze across one’s body. The best part: the weather guessers tell us it will remain this way for the remainder of this week. Perhaps into next week, also. Get out and ENJOY IT! Fall Campout To bring in the start of fall, some of our members are putting together a naked gnome scavenger hunt on Saturday, September 23. Rumor has it that beer may be involved for participants, as well as a drawing for other beverage related prizes. Look for more details next week. For those bold enough to brave the falling evening temperatures, it is also our fall campout. You can enjoy an evening under the stars with a warm fire…
8.31.23 Update
8.31.23 Update Although the weather was questionable until shortly after noon last weekend, our turnout for the wine & cheese event was great! About a dozen Eduners and friends participated; each with a different wine and plenty of cheese. To this observer, it appeared everyone enjoyed themselves. Perhaps some participants forgot it. As our season approaches its inevitable conclusion, the weather guessers tell us this weekend will be particularly good. In the high 90’s without all the humidity that made being outside difficult to enjoy. We hope you will join us … and there are good reasons. Open House Saturday will be an open house so those curious about Naturism can experience it for themselves. If you have never tried it or a friend of yours has expressed cautious interest, join us Saturday at noon. This is free for anyone who has never visited our facility in the past. It is a…
May 2022 Update
Even with the rain, this has been a busy week. Spring continues to try to locate our Special Place so we’ll be ready for sunshine in the coming Sumer months. Still, there is much going on. We want to keep you in the loop.
December 2021 Update
It appears winter is finally here. But, there are still a few sunny and (relatively) warm days. And, of course, we still have a lot going on. Sauna Season is in Full Swing Our last sauna was about full. It was great to be able to talk with so many people. We even had a few visitors we haven’t seen for quite some time and even a first timer. Everyone seemed to enjoy the opportunity to visit. Remember: Bring your own towel and plenty to drink (no glass, please). Also, if you would like to request a sauna at a time more suitable for your schedule, just contact us. Early Start for Winter Warriors Chris has been working on a list of projects for the Winter Warriors to undertake this season. Tasks he wants to work on now include cutting some dead trees near the barn and the meadow in…
April 2021 Update
April 2021 Update Everywhere we look, we see green. The grass is becoming fresh again. Our trees are budding. Springtime at our special place is truly beautiful. We hope you will experience it for yourself, soon. Here are some reasons: Sauna Last weekend, we held our first sauna in over a year (except for the heat-up we had during the Polar Plunge which really didn’t count as a true sauna.) It was wonderful to once again feel the relaxing heat penetrate every pore. Plus the conversation in a sauna is always great. We have another scheduled for this Friday, 4/2 at 8pm. Winter Warriors Update Thanks to the faithful Winter Warriors who have been working hard to ensure our special place is spruced up for the coming season. Because Kansas weather tends to be unpredictable, it is always difficult to plan our gatherings too far in advance. That said, it…
March 2021 Update
March 2021 Update Wow! What a roller-coaster we’ve been on for the last three weeks. Difficult to believe we were ice skating on our wonderful lake just a few weeks ago. But, it has been extraordinarily productive. Let’s get on with it. Membership Special Update We just sent out over a dozen new membership cards. The response to our 10% discount for members to renew or others to join BEFORE the first day of Spring (also called March 20) is impressive. If you are planning to avail yourself of this offer, you best act within the next 10 days. For those who like to wait for the last minute, you may slide your membership thru the slot in the barn. But, remember: March 20 is the first day of spring. Don’t delay. Progress on Various Projects If you have not visited our special place since last season, you are in…

January 2021 Update
Clearly, Winter is finally upon us. Snow, freezing rain, and ice are becoming familiar sights once again. This will make our first Annual (hopefully) Polar Bare Plunge particularly interesting. Polar Bare Plunge So far, close to a dozen intrepid Eduners have committed to participate. We expect a few more will show up ready to make the full-body commitment. This is a charity fundraiser to support Race Against Breast Cancer. We will clear any ice so participants can jump directly into the water and, hopefully, climb out of the lake to warm up in front of a bonfire or in the sauna. (Use of the sauna will be restricted to participants ONLY.) For this first year, we are hoping to present a check to RABC for a minimum of $500. This, of course, is dependant upon the generosity of our members and any pledges received by those taking the plunge. If…
