ATLANTA -- All of the Chick-fil-A restaurants in metro Atlanta will host a special mother-son Date Knight on Saturday, Apr. 28.

The Date Knight format will be similar to that of the franchise's massively popular Daddy-Daughter Date Nights. It will give mothers and sons a special chance to enjoy some quality time together.

The event will have a medieval theme, hence the "Knight" part of its title.

"One of Chick-fil-A's goals is to promote community connections and enrich the lives of everyone we come in contact with," Robin Lomax, Chick-fil-A area marketing director, said in a statement. "We understand the importance of mother-son relationships and want to encourage local moms to come to Chick-fil-A, enjoy their sons' company over a meal and have fun."

Hall County -  The Hall County Fire Services Department says that turkey fryers are not worth the risk.  Cooking is the #1 cause of home fires and fire-related injuries, and on Thanksgiving Day the number of home fires is threefold.  Below is a community press release from the Hall County Fire Department.

 

Thanksgiving or other holidays this time of year can be a whirlwind of cooking and entertaining guests.   With so much multitasking taking place, fire hazards around the oven or stove-top can easily be overlooked. Of particular concern is the safety of children. "People may not be used to have these small guests in their home," said Capt. Scott Cagle, Hall County Fire Marshal. "The kitchen is not a place to play, and adults should establish a 3-foot child-free zone around the stove."

ATLANTA -- The Georgia Department of Revenue stamped its approval on $50 million in donations under the Georgia Scholarship Tax Credit Program.

The program lets people and businesses get tax credit for donations to scholarships for Georgia children to attend private schools.

Fifty million dollars is the most allowed under the program. In 2012, the statewide cap on donations will increase by the annual increase in the Consumer Price Index until 2018.

Individuals can donate up to $1,000, while married couples have a donation cap of $2,500. Corporations can donate up to 75 percent of their state income tax liability.

The American Federation for Children estimated more than 6,000 students last year got scholarships to attend private schools through the program.
