A FEDERAL RESERVE FEAST
By Andrea Marroquin
This Thanksgiving, visit Jekyll Island's historic setting. Dine on Jekyll Island fare and sample a Thanksgiving feast like that shared over a century ago by power brokers who helped shape a significant aspect of our nation's history.
In November of 1910, Senator Nelson W. Aldrich and a party of financiers came to Jekyll Island to discuss and formulate banking reform, including plans for a form of central banking. Headed by Senator Aldrich, these financial leaders gathered on Jekyll Island and produced the Aldrich Plan, which became a forerunner of today's Federal Reserve System.
The country had recently faced economic collapse with the Panic of 1907. The group needed to resolve America's financial turmoil and create stability.

A draft of the Aldrich Plan was completed on Jekyll Island. It called for the creation of a central bank, able to make emergency loans to member banks and print money. The Aldrich Plan served as one of various proposals which eventually led to the Federal Reserve Act, establishing America's present-day banking system, which was signed into law on December 23, 1913.
The fine table set at the Clubhouse that Thanksgiving was a particular highlight To learn about the many influential figures who visited Jekyll Island in seasons
of the trip. Vanderlip remembered, "Deer, turkey and quail appeared on the table; there were pans of oysters not an hour old when they were scalloped;

Users of Golf Carts, All-Terrain Vehicles Reminded of Jekyll Island Ordinances
The Jekyll Island Authority would like to remind our guests and residents that All-Terrain Vehicles and 4-Wheelers are not allowed on Island roadways, beaches or biking paths. In accordance with Georgia state law, off-road vehicles such as ATVs and 4-Wheelers are only permissible off public roadways; however, due to a Jekyll Island Authority ordinance, motorized vehicles of any type must only be driven on roads.
Golf carts are allowed on Jekyll Island roadways, as long as the vehicles follow new regulations enacted by the Georgia Legislature in January, 2012. Those regulations are that all golf carts have the following:
A braking system sufficient for the weight and passenger capacity of the vehicle, including a parking brake. A reverse warning device which is function when the cart backs up. A main power switch, which should be able to turn the vehicle both on and off. Head lights and tail lights, reflex reflectors, safety warning labels, horn, and rear view mirror. A seat belt for each passenger in the vehicle, to be worn at all times when the cart is moving. This law also requires that children be incompliance with the child safety seat and booster seat laws.
We at the Jekyll island Authority thank you for complying with these safety regulations.
