As senior secretary, SHARON HAMILTON has kept us organized
and connected with the University in Athens for about 18 years.
WINSTON DRURY has kept our family well supplied with food
for over 10 years. 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, ROBERT RAMSEY, LUCY
HOLMES and ROOSEVELT BUTLER, ensure our meals are tasty, hot
and served on time. JAMES NOBLES keeps our home and Tidelands
Nature Center up and running no matter what physical demands
we place on the facilities. KIM BRITTON, CAROL DUCKSWORTH,
and LINDA BURD constantly ensure the Jekyll 4-H Center is
kept clean and tidy for our visitors.
Each year over 10,000 students participate in our environmental
education program. As 4-H center director, it is MELANIE BIERSMITH's
responsibility to coordinate each school visit and ensure
the program runs smoothly each and every day. RICHARD CHEWNING
assists the EE program as the assistant coordinator. DAWN
ZENKERT is taking on the challenge of developing Tidelands
Nature Center. TOM WOOLF has rejoined our staff as the 4-H
Environmental Educator for kayaking and animal care.
