A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT…
Darrell Davidson
Another March has come and gone – and with it the frantic final preparations for and staging of our annual
Arts Festival. Of course, the preparations started months before with co-chairs Susie Corbett and Pam
O’Conner and their team of volunteer chairpersons hard at work. By the time their army of volunteers joined
them to stage the event, I do believe every member of the Association on the Island lent a hand.
If you view the Festival as a fundraiser, you won’t be impressed with the net of revenues and expenses, but
viewed as your Board does, as a vehicle for our members to show off their work, it was a resounding success and
we did show a profit. A hearty BZ (consult Navy speak to decipher) to all of you who participated!!
Your Board is busy on a number of tasks before we take our summer break. A spring housecleaning of
Goodyear is underway and will provide treasures for a yard sale at some point. We will be acting upon significant By-laws changes that will clarify our internal management arrangements. Then, we are exploring additional
opportunities for web basing more tasks as has been done with membership and classes.
Sadly, this spring season brings the departure of our part-year residents who are such a vital part of our organization. We wish you safe travels and a quick return this fall to awaken us from our summer doldrums.

Important Reminder from the Membership Chair
As of April 1st, we are into a new membership year; currently we have 170 members who have not rnewed
their memberships for the 2015/2016 membership year.
There are a number of ways to check to see if your dues have been paid for the 2015/2016 year. Log into
the Members Only Homepage on the JIAA Website and if the only function you see is a flashing “Pay My
Dues”, that indicates that your dues have not been paid. If you need assistance in Logging into the Members
only Homepage, contact me at webmaster@jekyllartsassociation.org. Have the volunteer at the desk at Goodyear look for your name in the Member Directory on the Members Only Homepage, if your name is not
listed, your dues have not been paid.
Dues ($30 per person) can be paid in a number of different ways:
·Use the “Pay My Dues” function in the Members Only Homepage where you can pay either using Pay
Pal or a major credit card. If you need assistance in logging into the Members only Homepage, contact
me at webmaster@jekyllartsassociation.org.
·Drop off your dues payment at Goodyear (you can use cash, check or credit card)
·Mail a check for your dues to JIAA, PO Box 13201, Jekyll Island, GA 31527
The 2014/2015 membership year was an exciting one for the association, with a number of excellent programs, more classes than ever before, strong shop sales and a successful Arts Festival; 2015/2016 should be
even better, so we encourage everyone to renew their membership as soon as possible so they don’t miss any
of the opportunities the association provides for its members.

CLASSES NEWSLETTER – April 2015
Watch your email for this year’s Every Member Survey via Survey Monkey. This is your opportunity to tell
us what classes you’d like us to offer next year, and to let us know if you need clarification on how to use the
new JIAA website to register for classes.
The survey will be sent out within the next couple weeks and we truly appreciate your input…several of our
new classes this year were the direct result of your comments on last year’s survey. Please be sure to complete it
and return it as soon as possible when you receive the link.
Remember, the survey is completely anonymous – we do not know who said what. If you would like us to
contact you, there will be a spot at the end for comments, and for you to leave your contact information if you
choose to do so.
Thanks to everyone who taught and took classes this year! We had a very good year…
