Hi Everyone,

We want to keep you up to date as changes and additions are made. Our event is looming close and we are very excited and appreciative you are coming. We have a great weekend planned.

If this is your first visit to Lake Lanier Islands resort you will find it very family friendly offering horseback riding, zip lines, golf and tennis not to mention all of the fun activities surrounding the Pirates of Lanier Poker Run.

Our host hotel, Legacy Lodge (770-945-8787) has been full for quite a while, however we never know when plans change opening up a few rooms. On our website you can find our two closest back up hotels.

Beginning Thursday, July 18, from Noon til 5:00, the Welcome Committee will be out on the street as you approach the Lanier Islands Entrance gate, so continue past Holiday Marina to the Islands and we will Welcome you and answer any questions you might have and give direction.

If you are flying into Atlanta commercial and you don't want to rent a car, you may call James Davenport (404-399-5899). James is capable of supplying Town car, Suburban or Limo ground transportation from Atlanta-Hartsfield airport to Lake Lanier, about an hour drive.

If you are interested in chartering helicopter transport directly to Lanier Islands you may contact Rich Maresco 678-576-1210 He operates a Bell Longranger with 6 passenger seats. If you have 6 people, baggage may be limited.

If you are flying private, the closest general aviation airport to the lake is Gainesville, GA (KGVL) 5500 foot runway and ILS approach.

Upon arrival, if your boat and/or rig need cleaning you may call GKH Detailing (Brad Hayes) 770-910-4421 You will want to call Brad beforehand as he will surely be busy Thursday and Friday.

And last but not least, if you experience any mechanical problems during the weekend Herb Stotler of Stotler Racing, very close to the lake, has offered his mechanics and shop to get you going again. Note: He does not have Mercury diagnostics.

Thank you so very much,

Lanier Partners of North Georgia
