Meeting InformationWere Going Green: The Chapter is “going green” this year by converting to electronic versions only of the speakers’ PowerPoint handouts. Registrants will receive a link to the handouts via email two weeks prior to the meeting. Participants can pre-print handouts from the web site, or, if they choose, bring their laptops to the session. Attendees who bring their laptops can sit in the “Going Green Zone” in the session where electrical connections will be available. Handouts will also be provided on CD at the meeting. No Printed Handouts or Syllabus will be available. Join us in our environment-friendly effort. Welcome to Amelia Island Amelia Island offers visitors an unspoiled setting for relaxing and rewarding stays. Thirteen miles long and two miles wide, the northern and southern tips of the Island are park preserves which make up nearly 10 percent of the entire Island. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, Intra-coastal Waterway, strong-currented Nassau Sound and one of the East’s largest and deepest inlets – Cumberland Sound – Amelia Island is edged with natural Appalachian quartz beaches and framed by dunes as high as 40 feet.
Amelia Island’s small size belies the host of activities she offers her guests. From golf and tennis at world-class resorts to kayaking, sunset sails and horseback riding on the beach.
The Island offers all types of accommodations, restaurants and shops to meet the needs of the most discriminating traveler or budget-minded family. The Island is home to Florida’s only spoken history museum.
Amelia Island is located off the northeastern-most tip of Florida on the Atlantic Ocean and separated from Georgia only by the Cumberland Sound. Amelia Island is just 15 miles east of Interstate 95, and is a short, 30-minute drive from Jacksonville International Airport.
The island is located adjacent to the community of Fernandina Beach, Fla.
