Endless Summer in August at Lupin Lodge August 5, 2011

In July we celebrated freedom in the nude. In August, we revel in the Endless Summer in our clothing optional paradise in the redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains. From Qi Gong to volleyball, from hiking to dancing, from Open Mike night to outdoor movies, there is something for everyone to enjoy. And, best of all, you can do it au natural.

August 5 12:00 Noon – 3:00 PM
Lupin Ladies Luncheon – Everyone has a Story – Join a grou...p of like minded women and feast on a delectable lunch in the restaurant, followed by a lively discussion. This month’s topic is Everyone Has a Story. People think that their own lives aren't interesting to anyone else. Even if you have the most "common" of lives, your life is not the same as another person's "common" life. We are all the similar and different at the same time. We will hear each other’s stories and surely discover that we women are so interconnected. Gate fees are waived for those women attending the luncheon.
