1887-1947 ever published. Petrie, the author of the Auburn Creed, is
recognized as the father of Auburn football, having organized and
coached the first team in 1892. This book includes exciting new details
about the formation of that team and Auburn's first game, a 10-0 win
over Georgia, played at Atlanta's Piedmont Park.

the night of the AAC event ---
$2 will be donated to the club's
scholarship fund!

Orange Bandana Day at Piedmont Dog Park a Howling Good Success
Next Date Tentatively Set for Sunday, October 14th (Arkansas Away Game Weekend)
 
It sure was dog-gone hot...but it was a lot of fun too! All together about 30 Auburn canines and a good crowd of
Tigers (some even without dogs) came out for the Atlanta Auburn Club's
first-ever "Dog Day Afternoon" at Piedmont Dog Park on Saturday, June 30. And it definitely was something to bark about!
Betsy Robertson, editor of the Auburn Magazine, and her dog Whiskey drove over from Auburn to join us for the day--bearing a basket of tasty treats for the four-legged crowd.
It's been decided that we're going to do this again --- but next time in some cooler Fall weather. The tentative date: Sunday, October 14th -- the day after Auburn's away game in Arkansas. So mark your calendars now!

AAC Heads to Turner Field: Braves vs. San Francisco, August 16th
 Hotlanta and a long, hot Summer go hand-in-hand. Just like the Atlanta Braves and a visit visit to Turner Field!
And what's a baseball season without some controversy?! The Giants' Barry Bonds is closing in on baseball Hall of Famer Hank Aaron's career home run record. Will Bonds be even closer to Aaron's magical mark of 755 when he gets to Atlanta? And under the cloud of alleged steriod use, will a 756th for Bonds be as sweet as Aaron's 755th was in 1976 for the Braves?
Make plans now to join the AAC on Thursday, August 16 to watch the Atlanta Braves in action against the San Francisco Giants. Game time is 7:35pm.
The AAC has Lexus Level group tickets for this event. They are specially priced at: $15/each (cash or check), or $15 + $1.50 postage and handling/each (PayPal).
