What a great week we had for the SBS volleyball tournament!
The weather was most cooperative for
a change! So many wonderful Como volunteers make this awesome tournament event possible. Of course Bud,
Jim and Holly are the main reason the tournament runs as well as it does. SBS is always a challenge for the Como
staff as well; however, like the trio of organizers they always seem to get
through it unscathed.
If you've never worked with Roger and Hope in the Food Court, you
cannot imagine all the hard work and dedication they put into providing
great food at reasonable prices. From shopping for the food, setting up
the serving area and cooking the food up fresh, to cleaning up and tearing
everything down … this couple is amazing. Of course, they always have
great volunteers working with them as well.
The best part of the SBS volleyball, is the players and spectators who
come year after year (this was the 14th annual event!) to make Como their
vacation destination during the event. Food was great, entertainment was
great and smiling faces made it all worthwhile. Here's to next year!

We will be posting more SBS pictures, along with the winning teams
in the next issue of the Flash.

We will be hosting four students from the
FSU College of Motion Picture Arts for this
student project, “exploring nudism/naturism
not only as a lifestyle choice, but also as a
reaction to the popular misconceptions of what
our body is.” (Student director Jamie
Blackband).
Filming will take place at various places within the park. All
persons participating will be asked to sign a photo release.
Contact me for additional information.

“This was my first experience and I was nervous and

They made me have one of my best weekends ever,
thank you… so much fun and a great experience.
Looking forward to more.”

“Love this place!!!!!!! Great bar, pool, hotub,
sauna,etc. The staff is very nice and I highly
recommend it!!”
– “Magnolia” … March 16, 2015
“Had a great time there today.”
“It was my first nudist experience and I'm glad I
chose Como. It was very affordable when compared
to the others. Some of the facilities are a little dated,
but they are trying to build new/renovate the
property. Very laid back, not pervy at all. I felt very
comfortable (other than the slightly cool breeze).
Was very nervous about going, but am glad I did. I
will definitely try again on some sunny day. Got one
thing crossed off my bucket list.”
