Memorial Day Weekend was a huge success. With the addition of the new Tiki Bar, the members and guests have a new place to relax, unwind and socialize.

If you have not been to the Valley in the past 8 weeks, you need to stop by and visit. We have added a new 20 site RV Campground, large Tiki Sundeck and a new poolside patio area.

Bartender Ben is leaving the Valley


Seldom in life do you meet a unique individual that is loved by everyone. This is Bartender Ben. His southern expressions, his smile, his willingness to jump in and help out.

Ben moved to the Valley about 5 months ago and if you hear Ben tell the story, you would think he has lived here all his life.

When Ben tells the story about his 1/2 birthday party at Claudette's house, it can bring tears to your eyes. Although Ben loves bartending at the Valley, Ben works full time for a large corporation that is closing their plant here in Atlanta. On Monday Ben received the news that he is being transferred to Indiana.

Now we could all sit around and look gloomy, or we could throw Ben a great party. So with little planning and lots of love, the members, staff and management of Paradise Valley will be holding a wild and crazy going away party for Ben this Saturday in the lodge. The Party starts at 9pm and goes until ???

Join Ben and his friends for a great send off. This will be Ben's last weekend at the Valley.

Try this video, one of the best ever

Normally, I would never post a video link to the Valley blog, but this is just too cute. Make sure and catch the last second.

The Rally In The Valley In Review


For all those bikers out there, if you missed the "Rally In The Valley" last week, you have another chance this spring. Due to the overwhelming success of the Rally, Paradise Valley Resort is going to host a spring Rally. Watch this blog for more details.

The weekend event started off on Friday night, with DJ Karen at the controls. The party was like no other Friday night. It was fun and the energy level was on overdrive. Saturday morning started early with motorcyclist arriving as early as 8 am. The lower parking lot was reserved for bikers and the lot soon filled with chrome trimmed motorcycles. Breakfast was served in the lodge from 8 to 10 am. We had several guests from other area nudist resorts. It was so much fun meeting folks from as far away as North Carolina. Yes, we had a motorcyclist that picked up a flyer while having his bike repaired in North Carolina and drove 5 hours to attend the Rally.

Next year, we are going to have a contest to see who traveled the farthest to attend the Rally.

At 10:30, the bikes took off for a nice fun run (poker run) through the mountains of North Georgia. Everyone had a great time and returned to find a catered lunch waiting in the lodge. After lunch, we hosted several poolside games, including a frozen t-shirt contest. 11 contestants in all, but there was no competition, Linda C. had her t-shirt on in two minutes flat. Great job Linda.

The bike games followed, it was exciting. We played the hot dog on a string contest, water balloon contest, tennis ball on the cones contest and even a hoola hoop contest. We then presented the winners with prizes or trophies. We held a tattoo contest, male & female and a best of show motorcycle contest.

As the evening quieted down, the band started up. Yes, a live band at the Valley. Risky Business played till 1am. Everyone had a great time and can't wait till next years spring event.

Visit Paradise Valley



As the manager of Paradise Valley Resort in Dawsonville, the greatest challenge has been to reach our target market.


How do you let folks know what Paradise Valley is all about. When people first hear clothing optional or nudity, it often brings thoughts of " nudist camps or campgrounds."

Although Paradise Valley started about 30 years ago as Hidden Valley, a nudist campground in North Georgia. Today Paradise Valley is a full service resort, offering a new lodge with a full liquor bar, tennis, three swimming pools, two hot tubs, full service RV hook-ups, camp sites and now condominiums.

The difference with Paradise Valley and other clubs is that we are Clothing Optional, this means you can stay fully dressed or take it all off. It is up to you.

Every Friday and Saturday night, we host parties, with a DJ, in the new lodge. We have billiards, darts, a fashion boutique and satellite TV's on the wall. If you live or travel in North Atlanta, why fight the downtown crowds, try Paradise Valley. The only difference between the lodge at Paradise Valley and a Buckhead bar is that the guests have a choice to dance fully dressed, topless or totally nude.

Our drink prices are less than midtown bars and best of all, after you party, why not take a dip in the heated pool or hot tub?

Here are a few pictures taken this past week at the resort.

Special Thanks

I would like to take this opportunity to offer a special thanks to a few members of the Paradise Valley Resort family.

AnnJoy has been publishing the Valley newsletter for several years. She has volunteered her time and energy each week to produce a newsletter to keep the members informed. From this point forward, the newsletter will be handled by Paradise Valley staff and will be incorporated into the new Paradise Valley website currently under construction. The Paradise Valley staff and members appreciate all her efforts and commitment to making the Valley a great place to be.


Barry and AnnJoy have organized events for the past few years, including scheduling, coordinating and following through to make sure the planned events are enjoyed by all the members and guests. Due to the tremendous growth this past year, and the future planned growth for next year, we are currently creating a paid position for an event coordinator at Paradise Valley. The Paradise Valley Resort staff wishes to thank Barry and AnnJoy for all their hard work in making the Valley a special place for everyone to enjoy.


Claude and Nancy have been residents of Paradise Valley for many years. Nancy works full time in Corporate America, but loves to spend her weekends around the pool promoting Paradise Valley. Nancy is known for her poolside giveaways.


Claude is often seen helping and working with Troy, the maintenance man. Many members do not realize that Claude is donating his time and energy to make Paradise Valley a more enjoyable facility. Claude and Nancy are Paradise Valley Ambassadors. Next time you see Claude or Nancy, please take a minute and thank them for all they do for the members and guests of Paradise Valley.


This Week At The Lodge:

Friday Night: DJ Karen will be playing your favorite tunes Friday night in the Lodge from 9 pm till 1 am. If you have a request, please let her know. We now have paper and pens in the Lodge to write down your requests. The DJ will do his or her best to play a selection of music to please the crowd and keep the party going.


Saturday Night: DJ Ann will be spinning the tunes from 9pm till 1 am. If you like to party, don't miss the party this Saturday night. The weather forecast is calling for beautiful weather all weekend long.


Sunday At Paradise: The bar opens at 12:30. The weather is warm and the water is cool, so enjoy the day at the Valley. Sunday evening, we will be hosting a free pizza party from 6 pm till 7 pm. If you are staying for the weekend, please stop in the lodge and enjoy some hot fresh pizza.


Pool Rules:
As manager of the resort, I am always available to talk to members to listen to suggestions, ideas, constructive criticism and complaints. There seems to be three repeated complaints and I would like to address them in this newsletter. Maybe we can all work together to improve the Valley.

Cell Phones vs. Camera Phones: As the manager of the Valley, it is often brought to my attention that members or day guests have cell phones at the pool and could very easily be taking pictures. If you are a member or guest and see any suspicious activity, please report it to management, security or any Paradise Valley staff member quickly. We will be posting new signs concerning our cell phone policy, but we all know those with a hidden agenda do not follow the rules.

If a member or guest is found to have used a camera cell phone to take unauthorized photos on Paradise Valley Resort property, they will be asked to leave and will not return. Please report suspicious activity quickly. It does not help us to receive complaints two days or two weeks later. We need to take quick action to prevent this inappropriate activity.


Reserving Lounge Chairs: Earlier this year there seemed to be some confusion concerning the lounge chair availability. Since the policy was already set for the season when I started as manger and had changed several times, I felt it was better to suspend the current chair cover system and start a new policy next year. We will have a new policy next year in place by December 2006. Signs and rules only work if all the members work together. During the Rally In The Valley and over the
Labor Day weekend, please try your best to only hold or reserve a lounge chair with your towel, if you plan to use it.


Smoking: This is a policy change that needed to be addressed for some time. There is no smoking in the lodge. Members and guests may not smoke under the overhangs or eves of the lodge building. This means smoking on the ledge in front of the Plexiglas windows and the walkway adjacent to the door. Our insurance policy is rated for a non-smoking building. Please follow these requests and help us from needing to post signs here, there and everywhere.

The rules state, "No Smoking In The Pool." This was intended to stop ashes from dropping in the pool water as well as allow members who do not smoke, the opportunity to enjoy the pool smoke free. Recently we have guests and members smoking while sitting on the edge of the pool. I have had members who have explained that sitting on the edge with their feet in the water is not swimming, others have complained that they have smoked in the pool for years, long before I started at the Valley. Either way, the intent of the rule is to allow smokers and non-smokers an enjoyable clothing optional experience.

Again, posting more signs is not the answer, please be courteous to your fellow members and guests. I attended an AANR Florida marketing meeting in June. One repeated complaint about AANR clothing optional clubs seems to be the number of signs. Like the old song lyrics, "Signs, signs, every where a sign." The answer is not signs, the answer is to work together to make your visit to Paradise Valley Resort enjoyable and stress free.

As one very nice member told me, " he comes here to have fun and relax, when visiting the Valley is no longer fun and relaxing, he will stop visiting." We need members and guests, everyone wants to have fun and relax. Please try and make today at the Valley more fun and relaxing than yesterday.

Rally In The Valley:
On August 26th, Paradise Valley will be hosting the 1st Annual Rally In The Valley. This motorcycle event will be designed for riders and non-riders alike. If you have a motorcycle, please bring it to the event. If you don't, but enjoy fun and great food, please plan on attending.

Saturday Night at the Valley

Each and every Saturday night at Paradise Valley we host a party. These parties are clothing optional. If you live in the North Atlanta area, or plan to visit, please consider visiting Paradise Valley. So many people remember the old " nudist colonies." Today's clothing optional resorts are nothing like a "nudist colony." The only similarity is that people have the freedom to be free from textile restrictions.

Paradise Valley and Paradise Lakes in Florida offer members and guests the opportunity to wear as little or as much clothing as they feel comfortable. Once you experience sunbathing, swimming and relaxing in the nude, you will find it difficult to go back to wearing a swimsuit. There is nothing sexual about being nude, the enjoyment is about the freedom to enjoy life like it was meant to be.

If you are curious, but not ready to visit the Valley, please feel free to call me at 706-265-6110 and I will be happy to discuss any questions, concerns or issues you might have. Remember, once you visit, you will be back. Members share with me memories of their first visit, so maybe I can share them with you, so you will feel more comfortable.

Enjoy the summer at the Valley.

Jeff

Update on Valley Happenings


The summer season is up us. I have been managing the Valley for almost 4 months. During that time we have made several repairs, upgrades and improvements. The first two condo buildings are looking great. The windows are being installed, the siding is going up and the porches are under construction.

I have now added condo sales to my list of duties. So if you are interested in purchasing a condo at the Valley, please call me in the office at 706-265-6110. We have a few units left at pre-construction prices.

Memorial day was so much fun at the Valley. The pools and hot tubs were filled with happy guests absorbing the sun by day and enjoying the dancing at night.

Recently some poolside rules were changed to better accommodate all of our guests. The lot owners chair covers are temporarily removed and no member or guests may reserve a chair overnight by leaving personal belongings on the chair. Each night security will remove all items left poolside and hold for the guests in a lost and found area.

If you have considered visiting Paradise Valley, but have questions or just not sure if nude recreation is for you, please feel free to call me in the office at Paradise Valley to discuss your concerns or visit the resort for a free, no obligation tour.

July 4th looks to be a record weekend at the Valley. Rooms are available at nearby motels and day passes are available. For more information on July 4th weekend activities, please call the Paradise Valley office at 706-265-6110.
