Greetings!
War Eagle Metro Atlanta!
We are getting such a great response to our request for everyone to get their reservations in for the Tuberville event --- we've decided to extend the early reservation price for four more days.
This means ALL reservations for PayPal, cash, check...even pay-at-the-door that are made through this Sunday, July 15, will be honored at the rate of Adults $55, Children (4-11) $15.
If you are not paying by PayPal, we have one request: will you please contact us -- by phone or email -- and let us get your names on our reservation list. This allows us to get some solid headcount numbers to the Waverly so they can better meet our catering needs that night.
If you plan to pay by check -- since it is now Thursday, rather than mailing it in, just bring it to the event! We want to make sure nothing gets caught in the mail before next Wednesday.
We are really getting excited about our event and we hope you are too!
Exciting Update:
We just learned this morning that Kenny and David Irons, Jr. will be joining us!
There are also more items listed in the Silent Auction -- see below!!
Have a great weekend! and...
War Eagle!

Auburn alum and former ALUM Magazine editor Mike Jernigan will be there to autograph copies of his new book --- a biography titled, Auburn Man: The Life and Times of George Petrie. This extensively researched hardback, with foreward by Ralph Jordan, is the most exhaustive history of Auburn University during the period from 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.
For every book sold the night of the AAC event ---
$2 will be donated to the club's scholarship fund!
Plus, the AAC will also be holding two raffles for great prizes---one for Atlanta Auburn Club members only!
