District Conference 2024
Jekyll Island: Don't Miss Out on All You Can Explore
Join Us March 21-24, 2024
There's a lot to do in your free time on Jekyll Island - especially after brunch
on Saturday, March 23 when there is a break built into the District Conference
schedule until 4:30 pm. If you’re looking
for something to fill those hours, this article is for you! Who knows: you might want to extend your stay after District Conference.
- Golf: While the 18-hole
golf courses will be closed to host both men’s and women’s intercollegiate
tournaments, the 9-hole Great Dunes Course will be open. To reserve a tee time, call (912)
635-2368. If miniature
golf is more your thing, Jekyll Island Miniature Golf, located at 100 Great
Dunes Lane, is a guaranteed blast for the whole family.
- Bike Rental: You can visit the Jekyll Island Bike Barn at 100 Great Dunes Lane or one of the other bike rental locations on the island.
- Tennis or Pickleball? Pickleball
courts are coming to Jekyll Island, but sadly not in time for District
Conference. Pickleball is available on
nearby St. Simons Island. If tennis is
your game, reserve a court by calling the Jekyll Island Tennis Center at (912)
635-3154.
- Interested in local history? Mosaic Jekyll Island Museum at 100 Stable Road is
for you. The museum itself has in-depth
and interactive exhibits, and Mosaic also offers private VIP Experiences. To book a tour, or for more information, call
(912) 635-4036.
- Who doesn’t
love sea turtles? The Georgia Sea Turtle
Center located at 214 Stable Road is a nature center and rescue and
rehabilitation center for sea turtles.
This is Georgia’s only sea turtle education and rehabilitation
facility.
- Tour MAP International: Steve
Stirling, CEO of MAP International in Brunswick, has agreed to offer a unique
opportunity for District 6900 Rotarians to tour the headquarters of MAP
International at 4700 Glynco Parkway, Brunswick, Georgia, on Saturday, March
23, 2024 as part of the 2024 District Conference. Steve has spoken at Rotary events all over
the world, including many clubs in District 6900. If you would like to tour, please contact
District Conference Chair Stephanie Windham at swwindham@icloud.com. To learn more about Steve and MAP International, visit the website at map.org.
- While the
water might be a little chilly, the weather in March is predicted to be warm
and sunny, so a walk on the beach is always a good way to spend an
afternoon.
- You can also
hang out in The Rotary Disco Lounge (this year’s House of Friendship), where
there will be music, a non-alcoholic beverage station, and lots of club
displays to peruse. For more information on The Rotary Disco Lounge and to sign
up for a table, contact PDG George Granade at granadeg@bellsouth.net.
We are
looking forward to District Conference and hope to see you there! To register, head to rotary6900.org today!
