Just to help you get your summer heated up, our June 19th and July 17th Touché events will be free for members. With the change of our Saturday evening Touché events to the third Saturday of each month, we have had an average of 50+ hot horny men in attendance at each of our 2010 parties. If you have never been to one of our Touché events or just haven’t been in a while, plan on cumming to these free parties.

BNC and our friends Darrell, Ben and Cody at Camp Buckwood / 4 Seasons Lodge are teaming up to offer two Camping Weekends this summer, Friday, July 30th – Sunday, August 1st and Friday, August 27th – Sunday, August 29th.

Camp Buckwood offers great all-male clothing optional tent and RV camping facilities including in-ground pool, large hot tub, large shower/bath house, 2.5 acre lake for swimming and fishing, hiking trails, video playroom in an old two-stall horse barn with a sling and a "horse" for man play and the infamous “Fort Dicks” play space in the woods. For those of you not into the camping experience, 4 Seasons Lodge offers access to all of the fun of Camp Buckwood while staying in a large rustic bed & breakfast / resort that includes breakfast and dinner like grandma used to make with your room rate.

The lodge has 2 king suites with private bath that can easily hold an additional twin bed, a queen private room with a shared bath, and the Bunk Room with 8 full size bunk beds. Additionally, there are four air conditioned cabins just steps from the lodge each with a California king bed, a full-size futon sofa sleeper, microwave, mini-fridge, and like all the rooms, they come with bedding and satellite TV.

For reservations, directions to, and more information on Camp Buckwood / 4 Seasons Lodge please visit their website at www.campbuckwood.com or call 812-597-2450.

BNC is in need of volunteers. You can help by becumming a BNC volunteer! Our event volunteers get free entry to the event they work, and volunteers who volunteer on a regular basis or who help out behind the scenes to do the footwork that makes events happen get a healthy batch of “BearBuck$” that they can redeem to pay annual membership and/or to pay for entry to events. Without volunteers, BNC does not exist, and BNC events don’t happen. What are YOU doing to help BNC give you good times?

If you can help out either occasionally or on a regular basis, please call the BNC HotLine at 312-409-0269 or e-mail bncinfo@bearnaked.org with your name and contact info. YOU MUST BE A PAID BNC MEMBER TO BE A VOLUNTEER.

BY CTA: #22 Clark buses stop at the corner of Clark Street and Devon Avenue, as does the #155 Devon bus which connects to the Red Line at the Loyola station.
#36 Broadway buses and SOME #151 Sheridan buses begin and end their routes end at Clark and Devon.
TAXIS: If you’re cabbing, you will find LOTS of cabs dropping off and picking up passengers at Touché and Jackhammer.
PARKING: There is a pay-box parking lot across Clark Street. Please remember to pay for parking until 9 PM for Saturday and Wednesday parties as the city’s new parking agreement with a private contractor has resulted in much tighter enforcement. Additionally there is plenty of parking on the surrounding streets. Do NOT park in the small lot on the north side of the hardware store or in the former Wendy’s on the north side of Touché. You will be towed from either location.

IF you are interested in naked camping, know of other play locations we can use, or have other ideas to keep BNC members entertained and new members coming in to join us, please let us know—contact us via the BNC website, leaving a message on the HotLine, or talking to the volunteers at check-in at any BNC event!

If you are on-line, visit our web site at http://www.bearnaked.org. org You can find the schedule, "frequently asked questions", membership registration forms for download, and a whole lot more-even an e-mail link to get information. Check it out and tell us what you think.

BNC strongly encourages attendees to be naked during our events, but that doesn’t exclude wearing your favorite boots, bar vest, or leather jacket. We expect that if you are gonna see all our attendees’ cocks and asses and chests that they get to see yours, too. Bashful Bettys don’t exactly feel like one of the lockerroom boys if they’re covering up the naughty bits. But maybe you have a dildo you like used on your butt. Or have restraints that need to be used. Or have some alligator clips for your nips. Or have other toys that make you hot. By all means, BRING THEM! Have fun! You should bring your own poppers, and sometimes it’s advantageous to bring your own lube and rubbers. Don’t be bashful to use the equipment at our venues. But please be respectful of other attendees. “NO” means “NO”, and if someone nicely pushes your hand or your mouth away, there are LOTS of other men available. And it isn’t nice to monopolize: let that hot man have the freedom to meat and greet the other men. Help the shy men get comfortable, too, OK?

As a member of BNC, you get a periodic free events, you get the newsletter to keep you updated, and you get special “non-party” events that non-members don’t get, all at substantial savings if you attend more than two events in one year. And you can save yourself the $10 event fees by volunteering at BNC events... call the HotLine AT LEAST one month in advance of an event if you wish to be a BNC volunteer! We’re accepting “trainees” for event check-in, so call the HotLine and volunteer to help out.

We keep a handful of flyers from other gay men’s naturist and play groups across the continent. Paw through them on the check-in table to see if there’s something going on at your destination—and make sure you tell them you’re a member of BearNaked/Chicago!
