Friday, August 14th, 2009Jekyll Island Authority gets extra help from volunteer event planning committees
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009
Beginning this year, the Jekyll Island Authority Event Marketing team is getting extra help via volunteer participation on event planning committees. The committee approach was initiated to encourage more community and inter-departmental involvement at all Jekyll Island events.”Our local business owners, managers, and residents are great resources for ideas and are eager to help,” said Jones Hooks, Executive Director of the Jekyll Island Authority. “By establishing these committees, we hope to bring those ideas together and open more lines of communication between the JIA and our community.”
The Event Planning Committees are divided into two categories. Event Support Committees help bolster all events via sponsorship sales, fund-raising, entertainment negotiations, financial management, volunteer recruitment, and environmental oversight. Event Committees work on issues directly related to their specific event. An Event Steering Committee, comprised of representatives from each of the other committees, oversees all events and makes decisions on any new event proposals.
“With more people involved we are able to gather ideas and find better solutions,” said Beth Burnsed, Event Marketing Coordinator for the Jekyll Island Authority. “We want our annual events to be more community-oriented rather than just promote tourism. So far the response has been extremely positive and we appreciate the input and support.”
Interested parties are still invited to participate on an Event Committee. To sign up contact Beth Burnsed, Event Marketing Coordinator for the Jekyll Island Authority at 912-635-4189. For more information on all Jekyll Island events, visit www.jekyllisland.com.

Sounds, Surf, and Swingin’ Fun: Jekyll Island’s Beach Music Festival
Thursday, July 31st, 2008
Jekyll Island is bringing the Golden Isles the biggest, best beach concert in years. Why? Because it is free. The 2008 Beach Music Festival is hitting the coast hard with musical sounds from the Rickey Godfrey Band, Second Chance, and the Swingin’ Medallions.
Providing entertainment for everyone is The Rickey Godfrey Band’s specialty. The unique combination of musical influences shared by the groups’ five full-time, professional musicians gives the band a sound the makes the waves go crashing. An energetic, talented, and entertaining group, they have been touring throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe since the 1970’s and are now looking forward to playing in the Golden Isles.
Second Chance is back again. Opening for the 2007 Beach Music Festival, they are returning again to do what they love best: sing. With the smooth sounds of songs like “I Love Beach Music” and “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,” this group showcases everything from vocals to saxophone to bass guitar.
Rocking beaches all over since 1965 the Swingin’ Medallions is the epitome of beach music. Drawing inspiration from early R&B, the band has been described to have a beach music, frat rock, shag sound that keeps the crowds moving.
The fun starts Thursday night with an Early Bird Party for shag club members. If you’re a member of a shag club, join other club members at the Jekyll Oceanfront Resort on Thursday, August 14. The party starts at 7:00 p.m. and tickets are $10 per couple. Friday Festival-goers can enjoy the Beach Music Festival Golf Tournament. Friday morning, August 15th, participants can play in the most talked about summer golf tournament in South Georgia. Tee times begin at 9:00a.m. until 11:00a.m. at the Indian Mounds course. Registration is $80 per player with lunch provided by Morgan’s Grill. Registration includes two tickets to the Friday night Kick-Off Party. Tournament tee times can be made by calling the golf course at 912-635-2368.

Can You Create a Colorful, Fun, Beach Music Festival Logo?
Friday, February 29th, 2008
The Jekyll Island Authority needs a logo for the Beach Music Festival held annually in August. The Beach Music Festival is a large party on the beach with music, food and dancing. We need a logo that expresses summer, sand/beach, partying, music, dancing, etc. The ideal logo will be busy and colorful! We are looking for a logo that uses vivid colors like bright pink, green, blue, etc.
Our target audience includes everyone from families who want to spend a day listening to music on the beach to adult couples who just love Beach Music.
Beach Music includes bands with lots of saxophones, drum, guitars, horns, and keyboards. Their music can best be described as ‘Oldies-but-Goodies.’
Prize: $150
Date of the Beach Music Festival: August 15-16
Please submit logo entries to Beth Burnsed,
