Year-Round Staff

 
As Administrative Associate, Sharon Hamilton has kept us organized and connected with the University in Athens for almost 20 years. Winston Drury has kept our family well supplied with food for over 12 years as Dining Hall Manager. While he plans our menus and orders our food, he always tries to make time to visit with agents and teachers during meal times. Joyce Howard, Lucy Holmes, Roosevelt Butler, and Sprawley Washington ensure our meals are tasty, hot and served on time. Larry Weldin and James Nobles keep our home and Tidelands Nature Center up and running no matter what physical demands we place on the facilities. Kim Britton and Carol Ducksworth constantly ensure the Jekyll 4-H Center is kept clean and tidy for our visitors.

Each year over 12,000 students participate in our environmental education program. As 4-H center director, it is Donna Stewart 's responsibility to coordinate each school visit and ensure the program runs smoothly each and every day. Richard Chewning assists with the EE program as the assistant coordinator. Dawn Zenkert is taking on the challenge of developing Tidelands Nature Center.
