The purpose of ANDES shall be to provide an outlet for social and recreational gay nudity in a non-sexual context among the men of Arizona.  Our structure is very informal, and our rules and regulations are few in number.  Our purpose is to make all of our events as enjoyable for everyone as possible.  Please be aware, though, of the basic policies that are in effect:

1. All names, addresses, and phone numbers of ANDES members are regarded as confidential, notwithstanding the optional participation in the official ANDES directory.

2. All ANDES attendees must be ANDES members.  (One-day passes are temporary memberships, available  for GUESTS and inactive ANDES members, and members of other nudist organizations).

3. We are a social nudist group.  We want members who enjoy nudism as a way of life. Nudity at our events is mandatory unless otherwise stated in the event invitation or RSVP form, or if disallowed by law.

4. Any overt sexual activity during a club event, either by yourself or with and/or toward another member(s) of the club, either directly or indirectly, is prohibited, unless in specified areas and at specified times.  Of course, a friendly hug and kiss are always allowed.

5. Members and guest members are expected to show mature behavior at all ANDES functions.  Members and guest members shall be responsible for any and all damages caused by themselves to other Member's property.  Overindulgence in alcohol is discouraged, and may result in the loss of club membership.  The use of illegal drugs at our events is prohibited, and will result in the loss of club membership.

6. Members attending ANDES events shall bring a towel to seat themselves upon.  Members are encouraged to leave valuables at home.

7. Refreshments are often on a BYOB/potluck basis or paid for by event donations as noted in the announcement of the event.  The Management Team shall each year determine which events shall be club-sponsored (as opposed to member-sponsored). 

8. Any Member or Guest Member who RSVP's for an event and does not cancel before the RSVP deadline and does not show up for the event, owes ANDES the event donation that said Member or Guest Member would have donated to the host, had he attended.  Upon receipt, ANDES shall pass the donation on to the host at its earliest opportunity.

9. At club-sponsored events, members in good standing shall pay no event donation.

10. Smoking at an ANDES event will be in an outside location, determined by the host or the rules that govern the event site.

11. No photography of any person without his express consent will be permitted at an ANDES event. The host of each event shall decide if photography is permitted. There shall be only one photographer, Management Team appointed. A photography session shall be announced at each event prior to its occurrence.

12. Each ANDES Annual Member will host or help with at least one event each membership year.
