Light House Family Retreat: In 1999, a vision was cast by Melinda Mayton, the founder of The Lighthouse Family Retreat. Working as a pediatric oncology nurse for eight years, she recognized the devastation that cancer brought to the entire family. On August 8, 2000, The Lighthouse Family Retreat held its Inaugural Retreat for six children with cancer, their families and volunteers. 2006 marks the beginning of the 7th retreat season. The ministry has served more than 400 children with cancer and their families, hosted 35 retreats and has received more than $2M from thousands of contributing partners.

Road Atlanta: Road Atlanta is part of the Panoz Motor Sports Group. Since purchasing Road Atlanta in 1996, Don Panoz has made millions of dollars in improvements designed to create a perfect blend of safety for the racers and comfort and convenience for the fans. We hope you will visit often and experience the excitement only Road Atlanta can offer! The 2006 Road Atlanta schedule includes 14 spectator events, highlighted by the nineth annual Petit Le Mans Sept. 27-28, the AMA Suzuki Superbike Showdown presented by Makita Sept. 1-3
