The treasures are handcrafted glass floats called Island Treasures. The glass floats have been sought after by Jekyll Island guests since 2002. Each is a unique design and is stamped with the year of the hunt on its base. Island Treasures mimic glass floats once used on the nets of fishermen in the early 1900's. The floats would sometimes break loose and wash ashore for lucky beachcombers to find and keep. Collecting these glass floats became a hobby in the 1950's when the commercial fishing industry began using plastic and styrofoam floats, making glass fishing floats rare, highly sought after and valuable Island Treasures. During these first two winter months, the Jekyll Island Authority recreates this treasure hunting experience for their visitors. Volunteers hide the Island Treasures in various locations on Jekyll Island for lucky guests to find. The glass floats are the work of commissioned artists from across the country. This eclectic group of talented artists uses the same techniques that have been used for 2000 years to create glass art pieces. The Jekyll Island Guest Information Center also has an array of beautiful Island Treasures for purchase in-store.

Seated inside a parlor at Georgia's legendary Jekyll Island Club, AT&T President Theodore N. Vail (far right) participates in America's first transcontinental telephone call, on Jan. 25, 1915. Also attending the historic communications event on Jekyll Island are (left to right) noted American architects William Welles Bosworth and Samuel Breck Parkman Trowbridge and Jekyll Island Club members J.P. Morgan Jr. and William Rockefeller. Vail's telephone party line includes U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, in Washington D.C.; telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell, in New York; and Bell's assistant, Thomas A. Watson, in San Francisco. Jekyll Island festivities celebrating the 100th anniversary of the first transcontinental phone call will take place Jan. 25, 2015 at 4 p.m., inside Morgan Center at the Jekyll Island Club Hotel. The famous four-way call that transpired around 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) on Jan. 25, 1915, was hailed as a technological triumph of monumental proportions, as instantaneous, coast-to-coast conversation became possible for the first time. The thrilling moment ceremoniously ushered in a new era of transcontinental telephone service for the expanding U.S. population. It was no ordinary party line, either. Among the prominent participants on the call that winter's day: U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, in Washington; scientist and telephone inventor Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, in New York; and Bell's eminent assistant, Thomas A. Watson, in San Francisco. And when the greeting, "Hello, Jekyll Island," reverberated across the phone lines, it was answered from Georgia by American Telephone and Telegraph Company President Theodore Newton Vail, who took part in the pioneering chat as he sat in one of the parlors of the legendary Jekyll Island Club. Among those witnessing the remarkable proceedings unfolding in the room were business magnates and Jekyll Island Club members J.P. Morgan Jr. and William Rockefeller, along with distinguished American architects William Welles Bosworth and Samuel Breck Parkman Trowbridge. The Jekyll Island Museum's "Centennial Celebration" on Jan. 25 will pay tribute to the historic role Jekyll Island played in this major communications milestone. The celebration takes place inside the Morgan Center on the grounds of the Jekyll Island Club Hotel, 371 Riverview Drive, Jekyll Island, Ga., 31527. The event will feature a short presentation, a complimentary champagne toast, and the unveiling of a commemorative keepsake. Coffee and cake also will be served. The Jan. 25 festivities begin at 4:00 p.m. the same hour as the precedent-setting transcontinental telephone call a century earlier. Admission is free. Want to learn more? The Jekyll Island Museum recently launched an online exhibit telling the story of the first transcontinental telephone call. The presentation can be viewed at www. jekyllisland.com. The Jekyll Island Museum is your "Gateway to the Gilded Era." Let us take you on a journey of discovery through our daily programs, interpretive exhibits, and museum store. You also can unlock the pristinely preserved heritage of Jekyll Island with a tour of the National Historic Landmark District, led by museum experts.

In 2013, almost 1,000 weddings took place in the Golden Isles, according to probate court records from Glynn County. And that's just couples applying locally for a license. It does not include couples from other counties in Georgia or other states who came to the Golden Isles to be married. Returning as a vendor for the 2015 show, Straton Hall Events, a catering company in Brunswick, booked 300 weddings in 2013, and the company doesn't anticipate the number to slow down anytime soon. Chef Jay Anderson of Straton Hall Events said he isn't shocked that so many couples are choosing this oceanside community to say "I do." A star of the wedding cake world will advise brides-to-be in the art of choosing a wedding cake. Joshua John Russell, five-time winner of "The Food Network Challenge" and a finalist on "Last Cake Standing," will headline "A Seaside Affair." The Golden Isles Bridal Show 2015 will be held on Sunday, January 18 at The Jekyll Island Convention Center and you will receive $3.00 off if you register online, just type in "SouthernC3" For vendor inquiries or other questions, contact Becky Derrick / Marketing Consultant at 912.634.8408 or info@goldenislesbridalshow.com.

The St. George Island Volunteer Turtlers was created in 2001 and has been going strong ever since. I have a steady flow of volunteers and also enlist the help of interns from Texas, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, and California." This meeting provides a unique opportunity to learn about sea turtle research and the conservation efforts taking place in our own backyard. The February 4-7, 2015, Southeast Regional Sea Turtle Meeting on Jekyll Island will highlight marine turtle activities that occur in the southeastern United States, from Virginia through Texas. Regardless of where you live or your background, you are sure to walk away with a greater insight into one of the most important marine turtle habitats in the world. Visitors are invited to view displays and exhibits at no charge during afternoon open houses on Thursday and Friday, February 5-6, from 3:30 PM to 6 PM in the Atlantic Ballroom at the beautiful Jekyll Island Convention Center. The Atlantic Ballroom will be a hub of activity with state-of-the-art satellite transmitters, tracking programs, and tagging equipment.
