I don't write a lot of reviews but my disappointment in this particular American Legion (Lakeland…read morePost #4) has compelled me to leave this review. I am a 23-year retired disabled Army Veteran and American Legion member in Lakeland, FL, and, relevant to this review, a certified VA volunteer and life-long musician dedicating my time to the national Guitars-for-Vets (G4V) organization. We are a national level organization of veterans and local musicians who give free guitar lessons (and guitars) to veterans with PTSD, TBI, or physical disabilities. We also host monthly group jam-a-longs at other American Legion posts. We do accept donated used or new guitars and accessories from local individuals or companies/organizations, but we have no local budget and no dedicated facilities. We operate with the generosity of local veteran organizations allowing us to use an otherwise unused space and hour or two a week to conduct lessons and maybe a jam-a-long once every 3-4 months. That's it. Currently, for disabled veterans in the Lakeland area, our only option is for them to drive to the Winter Haven American Legion or Tampa American Legion (both fantastic and welcoming posts). I have attempted to coordinate the same with the Lakeland American Legion for our disabled vets in the Lakeland area but, after several phone calls, messages, visits, explanations, dropping off business cards with a written request, and speaking directly with the Commander twice over the past few months, our organization was denied being able to use this post for lessons. The Commander told me last month he needed to address it at the 06SEP2025 meeting and get back to me. I wasn't sure why such a small request asking for nothing of value had to be approved by the Officers, but he said that's the way he likes to do things so I waited. I got no reply from him. I got a hold of him today (25SEP2025). He said it was addressed at the meeting and they were not interested. I am appalled that a veteran's organization with the tag line: "Here to support veterans and their families." would deny allowing G4V to use otherwise unused space for an hour or two a week to help disabled veterans in the area. I suppose I should have paid attention to the words following that tag line in all caps: "PUBLIC ALWAYS WELCOME!!" That seems to be more the Commander's focus. I was honestly not excited about the post for lessons. Other than the name, It just seems like a dark smoky public dive bar, but I would have taken it. I do know they just spent $40,000.00 on a new roof. The Commander was sure to tell me that. He acted like I was asking him for money. It was insulting. I asked for nothing but unused space, at his convenience, for an hour or two a week. This is not a plea. I am not asking for anything and I am not asking for clarification of any "misunderstanding". The request and reply were both very clear. This is my review. No thanks!

Went for Friday night fish dinner. Potions were huge . Can't beat the price $9. Went with a group…read moreof 10. Support our Veterans!!

So, I dropped by because I wanted to see what was sold at a nudist shop…read more And of course most of it is tee shirts. . .Yup. One can find videos, magazines and newsletters aimed to educate the naturally curious people like me, as well as to support and advocate for those who like to go nude at certain venues. Apparently some of the clubs are at designated areas like campgrounds and resorts, and some clubs meet at members' private property. The staff members that I spoke with were all very helpful, nice, and understanding of all my questions. I was given a lot of information to take with me about the organization. One can become a member of the association and receive timely newsletters on the lifestyle. I have never experienced the lifestyle, however it seems that it might be a liberating experience. I feel that being out in nature, with the water and trees in your natural state would be so awesome. . . I'm just not so sure if I want to see everyone's freedom. Maybe we should just all take turns to be free and rotate. . . idk. And I also think of how much self expression one finds in clothing and wonder if people simply rely heavily on hats and accessories without clothes at these venues. . .Seriously this must drive Rachel Zoe and clothes designers insane! And then there are other visuals that I imagine, like . . .cooking for example. . .and gardening / mowing the lawn. . . No.. . Hell no! We need clothes in life. But if there are times in which you feel clothing should be optional, AANR will make sure it happens for you!

I'm a LIFE member of this truly FUN organization, having joined in 1970, when it was known as the…read moreAmerican Sunbathing Association. The first affiliated club I joined was AVATAN, near the Twin Cities (Minnesota). I was then associated with MOUNTAIN AIR RANCH (near Denver), then LIVE OAK RANCH (outside Houston TX) and finally, I was a part of two former nudist resorts in Hawaii; one on Oahu (the island where Honolulu is) and the other was near Kihei, Maui. There is also a landed club near Sandy Valley, Nevada, an unincorporated area close to the California-Nevada border, around 50 miles away from Las Vegas. Cartoonists (and others who have never visited a nudist "place") are quick to joke about (or even deride) them. But those who have seriously visited a nudist park, resort, beach, luxury cruise liner, apartment complex, trailer village or camp (NEVER a "colony") find it to be "just another place to have wholesome fun," for entire families, kids included (they're natural-born nudists at heart). Yes, everyone is indeed naked or nude (there IS a difference in those terms) but to associate naturally naked folks with constant wild sex orgies, "is as wrong, as two left feet." At any well-operated nudist organization, you'll find mostly average, everyday folks whose only difference from conventional, "fabric-adorned society," is the simple fact that they believe you can have just as much (or more) fun, doing things that some people at one time associated only with being clothed. The fact is, you don't NEED clothes to Swim, Fish, Sail, play Volleyball (or Badminton), Basketball, Softball, Tennis, Hiking, Horseback riding, Water skiing, Shuffleboard, Bridge, Poker, Canasta, Dominoes, Checkers, Chess, Mahjong, Horseshoes or even Bowling (where permitted). All you need is just a minimum of two naked or nude people and a desire to fairly compete. (You can still play Solitaire by yourself, of course.) You can also, sans apparel, dine, chat, watch TV, or "debate" politics and religion (if the spirit moves you). Another thing you can do: Make new friends. There are (probably) 30,000 nudists in North America, at maybe 300 clubs (both are my estimates) and I'm sure that those folks would make you feel as welcome as they did for myself and my ladies. So, if you have the opportunity to visit such a place some day, take it. I'm betting that once you have REALLY experienced the lifestyle (and given it a "fair shot"), you might wish to return to it, often. And one final note, which cannot be explained: More WOMEN (than men) seem to take to (and enjoy) it... Their website is here: http://www.aanr.com
