Michael Bolton     Website Administrator and Co-Director    I was born in Amityville Long Island, New York. I managed a fast food restaurant at the age of 16 until I was 18 when I became the co-owner of a cafeteria concession at Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, Long Island Branch. At that time I was also managing a concession at night at Whites-Models. At 20 I married and moved to Florida where I started a new business of Landscaping , lawn maintenance and sprinkler installation. I sold that business and worked for a major drug store chain for 15 years in middle management. I then opened a business selling wholesale restaurant and janitorial supplies with a retail store for walk in trade and a warehouse for wholesale sales. I sold that business and worked for a year as the maintenance manager for an apartment complex with 99 units. I then opened a carpet and upholstery cleaning business. I became single in 1999. In the year 2000 I lost my right leg and had to retire on disability. From then until present, I have studied and learned how to design websites and computer repair.

Chris Mulvaney - Director of Food Drives and Blood Services I was born and raised in Morristown, New Jersey. I attended Suomi College (now known as “Finlandia College) in Hancock Michigan. Hancock is located in the Western part of the Upper Peninsula, known as “Copper Country” and no place to be a nudist, especially during the winter. I also graduated from Dover Business College in Dover, N.J. where I became a “Computer Electronics Technician”.  From 1973-79,  I proudly served in the U.S. Air Force, and traveled thru the United Kingdom and around the “Four Corners” of the U.S. (Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado). While stationed at Alconbury, England (70 miles north of London) I became a member of the “Cambridge Outdoor Club”, and that’s where I became a “Naturist”. The club is located between Cambridge and Ely. Check out their website  cambridgeoutdoor.org      When I returned to the New Jersey area, and started getting settled, I became a member of “Sunny Rest Resort” in Palmerton, PA. sunnyrest.com  For the next 25 years, I spent as much time there as I possibility could. I had a tent, shared a travel trailer, bought a mobile home and lived there. Met my wife Peggy there. What more could a man want…  We wanted to move to the “Nudist Capital of the U.S.A.”, so we did in 2007. We still keep thinking that we are here on vacation. I joined PANDA in 2010, and assisted in running the 2nd Annual PANDA Food Drive. I also created the PANDA “Bamboo Award”, which we give to the many donors of our charity events. In the summer of 2011, I created and presented PANDA’s 1st Annual Life Sustaining Program to AANR-FL "Because we support our local communities, by donating blood for life, providing food for sustenance, and we’re even willing to give them the shirts off our backs."We wanted this to be run throughout the State of Florida on the same day and time. It was a huge success. We supported the “Florida Blood Services”, “Feeding America-Tampa Bay – Suncoast Branch”, and “Sunrise of Pasco County”. Our total donation was 127 Pints of Blood, 125 lbs. of Canned Food, and 20 bags of Clothing. I also ran the 3rd Annual PANDA Food Drive, with $3329.25 and 1068 lbs. of Canned Food donated to Feeding America – Tampa Bay – Suncoast Harvest. Pamela J.

I’ve enjoyed nudism for over 10 years and have written dozens of articles for Pasco Naturally, the AANR Bulletin and Nusa Sun. I was one of the founding members of P.A.N.D.A. We were awarded the only grant ever given to a naturist entity by a governmental entity. In addition to philanthropic activities, P.A.N.D.A. is reaching out around the world to bring naturist tourists to the “Naturist Capitol of the World”, Pasco County Fl. P.A.N.D.A. wants to bring naturism forward into the mainstream of the textile world. Marcia Stone, Secretary I became a naturist in Indiana in 1985 and moved to Pasco County, Florida in 1988 to satisfy my need for living a natural life. I created Pasco Naturally in 2007, and, as editor, love the fact that it was the first news publication about Pasco County naturism. Pasco Area Naturist Development Association (PANDAbare.org) became organized after the Round Table meetings that were the brainchild of Community News Publications, (the original owner of Pasco Naturally) editor Jim Lamb and owner/publisher Mark Mathes encouraged me to make it happen. Both are a non-naturists. I discovered Paul Brenot had brilliant ideas about Pasco naturism and I challenged him to take the lead in PANDA. Together, Paul and I, along with many other forward thinking naturists, have made huge, unprecedented strides and PANDA has become a unique umbrella  organization enhancing the lives of all of Pasco County naturists and naturist entities.
