| War Eagle from the Atlanta Auburn Club! |
|
|
Greetings!
War Eagle! We wanted send out a quick event alert to everyone today, because we have some great things coming up: AU's Hightide Blues is in town this weekend and we want to give them a big welcome, plus we're returning to TV next week, answering phones for Georgia Public Broadcasting. Full details on that and our remaining Thrashers date this month + another community service event on March 21.
We've also got some other important club news to announce. But that will come in a separate email this week. Be looking for that in your inbox.
Meantime, the alumni association has launched a new ALL-AUBURN social networking site. It provides the local clubs yet another way to connect with alumni - and it allows us to showcase more of our material (including our Twitter feed) all in one place. There is also an opportunity for us to experiment with some live streaming. (Any George Lucas wannabes that want to help us?) You'll find the site at www.auburnclubs.org. We are still moving in and getting things uploaded -- so make sure you find us and become a member of the Atlanta club. For anyone who has been hesitant to join Facebook, this Auburn-only community might be more to your liking.
That's it for now.... on an unexpectedly wintry Tuesday in SNOW-lanta! Take care everyone...
WAR EAGLE!

Another BIG Night on TV Across Georgia for the AAC & Auburn
Join us March 11 for our Annual Visit to the Georgia Public Broadcasting TV Studios!
Join the Atlanta Auburn Club on LIVE TV for one of our MOST Popular Community Service Events!!
Several
years ago, the AAC made it's first TV appearance on Georgia Public
Broadcasting, and the rest - as they say - is history! This event is
one of the greatest nights of fun on television that you will ever have
with your Auburn family! It's a great cause -- and it's also a HUGE PR
bonanza for all Auburn Tigers in the state of Georgia, as well as
Auburn University.
Join us on Thursday, March 11 from
6:15-10:30pm as we return to the GPB TV Studios on 14th Street (just
off the Georgia Tech campus) to help answer telephones for their March
Pledge Drive.
To register for this event, you MUST contact the
AAC's Lee Bryan so that he can get you on the list! Email:
lee@leebryan.us
This is an ALL
Auburn - ALL Orange event for the Atlanta Auburn Club, so all volunteers are asked to wear their game day finest (Orange looks
great in the studio!). ALL volunteers must be at the studio by 6:15p.
All volunteers receive a catered meal provided by Carole Parks Catering
Company, free parking and training.
Directions to GPB can be found here: http://www.gpb.org/about/directions
If you cannot join us, be sure to tune-in or set your TiVo -- the programming that night is scheduled to be Michael Buble.
This
broadcast is seen statewide, and also in neighboring states: South
Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, and....Alabama, including
Auburn University! So tell your friends and family!

AAC Teams with Rally Foundation for ING Georgia Marathon
Volunteers Needed to Help Work at Hydration Station for March 21 Race
The Atlanta Auburn Club is partnering with our friends at Rally Foundation for the ING Georgia Marathon and Half-Marathon on Sunday, March 21.... and we're looking for some volunteers!
We can help Rally Foundation win the $1,000 prize in the Hydration Station Challenge. A number of non-profit groups are competing for the prize this year, and part of the judging is based on
the number of volunteers at each station and how much encouragement and cheering the volunteers provide the runners. Click here to read more.
There are two shifts to choose from: 5am-10am and 10am-3pm. Volunteers will keep
water poured in cups, pass out cups to passing runners and - most importantly - cheer the
runners on! The second shift will also have clean-up at the conclusion
of the race. All volunteers will get Rally T-shirts (and we hope you'll wear your Auburn hats!) And if you are already planning to run in the race, please support this ALL AUBURN effort by voting for Rally when you reach the finish line! Atlanta-based Rally Foundation, which was founded by an Auburn alum and includes the involvement of A LOT of AU alumni, helps fund childhood cancer research nationwide. You can read more about all the great work Rally is doing, and all the great people supporting this effort --- Click Here to Rally On!To be part of the AAC-Rally Team: Send one email copying both Ginger (AAC) & Bryan (Rally): gingerf4au@aol.com - bryan@rallyfoundation.org - Please include your full name, preferred shift time, email address, cell phone # and t-shirt size.
