The Lilburn Chick-fil-A last month provided sandwiches for the Lilburn Co-op, and Providence Christian students distributed them. This week it's providing 500 gift certificates for free kids' meals.
Like many entrepreneurs Truett Cathy had a good idea that succeeded when he invented, as their promotions stress, not the chicken, but the chicken sandwich.

Closer to home, an Archer football player was sent to the hospital Tuesday for observation. During the traditional “two-a-days” practices usually scheduled this week, high school coaches, including at Lilburn’s Berkmar and Parkview, try to avoid exposing their players to the dangerous conditions.
