Greetings!
Happy Tuesday & War Eagle!
We have some information we want to pass along about our upcoming golf tournament, a great AAC group discount for some Gwinnett Braves games, plus other local AU club events this week near Atlanta. You can even vote for the song to be used in the 2010 AU Football Intro Video that's played in Jordan-Hare... and view & order photos from our Tiger Trek event on April 20. Full details are below.
We've got a date for our 2010 Braves outing: Saturday, August 7 for Braves -vs- SF Giants (4pm). Full details on available ticket options and how to order will be in the next email, so save the date and tell your Auburn friends!
And, for any AU Tigers on LinkedIn - the Atlanta Auburn Club has just started a group there, so go find us (link is below). With the economy what it is, it seems we get word weekly of area Tigers who have either been laid off or are new graduates seeking employment in the Atlanta area. We hope this group can become a useful Auburn community resource for us to help each other - through networking, job posts, career advice and more. So go join...and start participating!

Atlanta Auburn Club Joins UNITY Membership Program
The Atlanta Auburn Club has joined the Auburn Alumni Association's new UNITY membership program. And we jumped in early!
 What does this mean for you?
If you are already a Life or Annual Member of the Auburn Alumni Association, your local membership in the Atlanta club is now also included. It also means that when joining or renewing, you will be asked to designate your local club. It also means less overall confusion over whether you have paid dues as a member of the national alumni association - or to your local club.
What does this mean for our club?
Local dues supported our club's operating costs for websites and email hosting, and it also helped us have the cash on hand for deposits for our big events. As a club, we will now have to find another way to raise that money.
How can you help us?
Most importantly, please choose the Atlanta club - code: MUATL - when joining/renewing membership in the Auburn Alumni Association. You can do it online by clicking here Membership in the association is not only tax-deductible, a portion of *new* Annual/Life memberships and Annual Renewals supports the Atlanta Auburn Club's scholarship fund. But you must list our code MUATL -
You can also support the Atlanta Auburn Club by attending our events and scholarship fundraisers, and making a tax-deductible donation to our 501(c)(3) scholarship fund, which supports both annual and endowed scholarship efforts for students from the metro area.
In the past year, we have gotten more queries about AAC scholarships than at any other time. But like most charities, we have also been hit hard by this economy. We need your support like never before - and we hope to see one of our biggest crowds ever for the Tiger Trek event with Coach Chizik.
If anyone has questions about UNITY membership or anything else, please contact the club.
Your Atlanta Auburn Club is one of the most dynamic and active local clubs in the country. Our mix of events is like no other and we take great pride in that. We are also, an all-volunteer organization. So, please join us --- and get involved!
