A FEW THINGS OF WHICH PARTICIPANTS SHOULD TAKE NOTE:

CONGRATULATIONS ON CHOOSING TO GO TO THE ATLANTA FEDERAL RESERVE!

I HOPE YOU ARE AS EXCITED AS I AM ABOUT THE TRIP!

1) Be sure to contact each of your professors for that Friday – 1) ask if they received my email, 2) ask what you need to do to make up any missed work or turn in Friday’s work early – whichever they require.
2) I tried to set up a CNN tour but they wanted $12 a person – so I chose not to do so this year. Thus, the free time in Atlanta will truly be free time. Please take a few moments to search out what you would like to do to fill your time.
3) Bring extra money! The various museums and aquarium etc. will probably have entrance fees. You will also need some money to eat on unless you choose to pack a lunch and dinner.
4) The bus will leave Augusta State University at 7:30 AM SHARP! DO NOT BE LATE OR YOU WILL BE LEFT! We have to be in Atlanta and at the Federal Reserve by 11:00AM!
5) DRESS CODE: There is not an official dress code for the tour. However, the Fed says that most groups do dress up for the tours and I believe we should represent Augusta State University well. Please dress in business casual attire for the tour. You do not need to wear a suit. Dress pants and a nice shirt is fine. You may bring shorts etc to change into after the tour (I know I will!).
6) FEDERAL RESERVE RULES/GUIDELINES:
Cameras, weapons, cellphones, and bags or purses are not permitted inside the Bank.
DO NOT TAKE PICTURES OF THE BUILDING
The Bank is a smoke-free building
Prior to your visit, you may wish to visit www.FederalReserveEduation.org
Groups of less than 10 and Children under the age of 8 are not permitted to tour the Federal Reserve

I look forward to seeing everyone bright and early on Friday morning!

BEGIN LOADING BUS AT 7:00AM – BUS LEAVES AT 7:30AM SHARP!
