What are YOU looking for at District Conference? District 6900 returns to Jekyll Island, Georgia March 21-24, 2024, with SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.  Are you looking for opportunities to learn more about Rotary?  Training opportunities abound as DGE Gordon Owens hosts District Training Assembly on Friday, March 22.  There will be even more learning opportunities on Saturday, March 23, as we host breakout sessions both before and after brunch on Saturday morning.

Are you looking for fun and fellowship with family and friends? Join us on Thursday, March 21, for a party at the Beach Pavilion with food, fun, music, and games. You can hang out in the Rotary Disco Lounge (House of Friendship) throughout the weekend. Jekyll Island also offers lots of recreational activities, to include golf, tennis, and pickleball. Oh, and by the way, there’s the beach! While cooler temperatures are still lingering around most of the country, Jekyll Island averages around 73 degrees during the month of March, with low humidity. It’s perfect weather for walks on the beach, outdoor activities, and fun for the whole family! This island features a mix of calmness and curiosity with its white sandy beaches, natural beauty, and tons of greenery. This city also houses almost 33 historic structures. There is something for everyone on Jekyll Island.   

Are you looking for an opportunity for service?  We are even working with the local Boys and Girls Club for a service project on Friday morning. 

The general sessions will be informative and entertaining.  And there will be awards! 

Join us as we Amplify Rotary and feature the Lady with a Song, none other than our District Governor André Marria at the beautiful Jekyll Island Convention Center. Several hotels on the island have room blocks reserved through February 21, 2024. Jekyll Island is booming, so you are encouraged to book your hotel room NOW! Once our room blocks are sold there is no guarantee that additional room nights will be added. We have room blocks reserved with The Westin Jekyll Island, which is within walking distance of the Convention Center; the Courtyard by Marriott and The Residence Inn, which have a free island-wide shuttle; Hampton Inn & Suites; Seafarer Inn & Suites; Holiday Inn Resort; and the Beachview Club Hotel. There are other hotels on the island, as well as short-term rentals and camping opportunities, but as of right now only the hotels listed here are offering reduced rates for conference attendees. We will keep you posted if other hotels are added.
