Happy MLK Day everyone!

For those of you trivia buffs here's some information from Wikipedia about MLK day:  King was the chief spokesman for nonviolent activism in the civil rights movement, which successfully protested racial discrimination in federal and state law. The campaign for a federal holiday in King's honor began soon after his assassination in 1968. Ronald Reagan signed the holiday into law in 1983, and it was first observed on January 20, 1986.

In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. I thought I'd share a link to a great short video about how YOU can help change the world through random acts of kindness.  Thanks to my dear friend and original Aha! Subscriber, Kim Gies, for sharing this video with me!

I'm starting the week with a giveaway of 4 VIP passes to a Beautiful Creatures event at Barnes and Noble in Dunwoody! See details below regarding how you can win!
 
"Beautiful Creatures" is based on the first novel in the best-selling young adult series by Kami Garcia and Maragaret Stohl, which has sold more than 1 million copies worldwide. In anticipation of the February 14, 2013 film release, Warner Bros. is giving old and new fans alike exclusive access to the cast and clips of the film at the Atlanta event.

Finally, don't forget to checkout all the details from our premium sponsors this week.  These fabulous Dunwoody businesses, schools, and organizations help me keep our community connected!   There are two great open houses on Saturday that you won't want to miss if you are exploring a private school option!

Please check out this week's PREMIUM sponsors!
Stay tuned for several  more giveaway's this week!
