In The Fkk World Communication Is Rough! Notably with Vita Nuda Northeast (VNNE)! Post by Jordan Blum Conveying with Vita Nuda North East in the Nudist World IsN't Simple! Nudist World - Doing something great for others and the reasons behind these voluntary activities is a issue that has come up. It's a issue I believe, at the very least, justifies a discussion. Regrettably I keep finding out that in the nudie world there appears to be an overwhelming number of people for whom their ego is the chief source behind their actions. So with that in mind let's get to discussing You all understand what we (FKK & Ranger World) went through to set up and market our Nude Years Eve party. Hours and hours of emailing, posting, press releases, contacting sponsors (for our nude charity initiative), reviewing each and every request that we got to try and weed out the odd balls (excuse the pun) and not to mention the cash that went into putting it all together. Ask any one of the coordinators (again - FKK & Ranger World people) only how much of our hearts and spirits went into creating the naked party, how many emails and texts went back and forth at virtually every hour of the day. There isn't any question that we reached out to as many individuals and organizations as we physically could. We understood that regardless of what we would likely end up losing money, but for us that was far less important than bringing people together and observing our way of life only to have it all come crashing down several hours before the event was supposed to begin. Vita Naked North East's Negativity In The Naturist World When we found out, our number one concern was to inform as many people as we possibly could. Resort reservations would have to be canceled, and folks who were coming from far away needed to understand to make http://arkiv.opensource.dk/samarbejde/index.php?title=If-You-Are-Not-One-the-best-way-to-Date-a-Nudist-p . The coordinators, who fronted up all the money, needed to prepare for whatever lay ahead and attempt to develop an alternative strategy. Calls were made to everyone we could think about to try and locate an alternate place. After talking with the owner of the venue we were given his phone number and took it from there. A place being secured, we started scrambling. Luckily we have a great group of individuals who volunteered - some came early to help set up, some offered their vehicles, some drove hours and brought a variety of stuff that were wanted. Basically they helped find a venue by making some phone calls and passing on the info to us. After the party, we posted a site thanking all the patrons for their generosity and to all those who took an active part over recent weeks. What happened next came as a bit of a surprise - even to me! * Not such a Miracle but rather the use of your available resources, Vita Nuda ** The first part is a quotation from the site while the second part is the comment from Vita Nuda. This brings up an intriguing question should we've recorded each and every person that helped us put the event together? Individuals helped set up, people helped clean up, some helped with the venue, others helped with getting security and the list continues on and on (kind of like the credits at the end of a film). The claim that we used valuable resources is a bit of a reach do not get me wrong, we were all happy that a place was located but at the end of the day, but wasn't a public online "thank you" enough? All too often in this world, individuals do things that might have a favorable impact. The reason that I say this is straightforward - it feels more like a set up than a great action. The repercussions of such actions echo for quite a long time after everything has been said and done. Nudist Communicating Issues We at Young Naturists & Young Nudists America help people too as organizations virtually every other day. http://hungerwiki.org/index.php?title=fee-and-alive-It-was-simply-amazing-to-be-bare-u of which will never make it to the public domain because of this very reason. If I determined to help someone it is because that is what I feel is the right thing to do. If this person decides to return the favor then it is entirely up to them. Doing something with ulterior self serving reasons has a inclination of breeding negativity as is the situation here. Only have a look at the two replies the post got and judge for yourself. Another problem that keeps surfacing is the inability of people to be direct. Posting that comment openly forced my hand and created this public reply. Whereas a private email would have most likely resulted in an update to the first article. Why post a spiteful and public reply when all that was desired was an email along the lines of: "Hey I read your post about the event and was a little disturbed to see you did not mention me. Was it an oversight in your part? I believe it is only fair, so would you mind updating it? Or at least giving me an explanation concerning why you didn't mention me?" So in closing 1 - What are your ideas about doing something merely for the benefit of helping others? 2 - What can be done to get people to understand the advantages of direct and open communication and the devastating repercussions of passive aggressive or negative public posts?
