AAC 2011 Bus Trips: Next Stop - South Carolina! Reserve Now!

Our next stop this season is SOUTH CAROLINA! We only have one bus reserved for this trip and there are still seats available. 

 

Satellite TV is ordered for ALL of our bus trips this year. And, as in years past, riders can bring personal-sized coolers aboard the bus (larger coolers must be stowed below). So why worry about driving when you can start your tailgating earlier and ride with us to the game?!!   

  

NEXT TRIP: OCT 1 - AUBURN at SOUTH CAROLINA -- Kickoff 3:30pET, Cost: $50/per person. Click here to reserve seats:  https://quickclick.com/r/dr60b  This will be a one-day trip.  

 

There is an Auburn Alumni Tailgate at the South Carolina game - click here for details

 

Departure location for the bus trip will be the Sandy Springs MARTA station.  It is about a 3-and-a-half hour trip to the game, so we are asking all riders to be at the departure location at 7:30am ET.  The bus will leave at 8am ET (earlier if we can get everyone loaded).  Departure from South Carolina will be one-hour after the game ends (earlier if everyone is already back on the bus).  Link to reserve seats & more info below. Cost: $50/per person.

Atlanta Auburn Club Bus policy for the 2011 season:

Seat reservations are confirmed only through pre-payment via credit card links posted by the Atlanta Auburn Club. The Atlanta Auburn Club has no control over TV kickoff times, and to secure buses we must reserve them early. Pre-paid fares for game day trips are non-refundable, but can be transferred (with notice to club) to another Auburn Tiger or someone on the club waiting list (if applicable). Bus departure times and locations will be announced prior to game day travel. If there are not enough riders for a particular bus trip, the club will refund prepaid funds to riders for said trip. 

 

A Month So Packed, it's an ALL AUBURN October-FEST!

Get Ready to Have Some Fun with the Atlanta Auburn Club!   

  

Bus trips, a visit to the Georgia Dome to cheer Cam Newton and Lee Ziemba... a Beat Bama gathering with the Tennessee Vols here in Atlanta... and look what else we have planned:

 

Verizon Wireless joins the AAC for three special days of promotions in October

October 1: Auburn at South Carolina Game-watching at The Bucket Shop

October 8: Auburn at Arkansas Game-watching at Twisted Taco (Wieuca Road location)   

October 22: Auburn at LSU Game-watching at The Bucket Shop

 

logoThe Atlanta Auburn Club is also joining forces with the Hudson Family Foundation (Braves Tim Hudson and his wife, Kim) to launch a children's book drive in October. We've been challenged by the Auburn Alumni Association to do a community service project during the week of Oct 1-8; we're getting it started that week, but we're going to continue it for the rest of the football season! The Rookie Reader Program benefits schools and youth serving organizations throughout Georgia and Alabama. The Atlanta Auburn Club will be asking Auburn Tigers to bring children's books to our game-watching locations. How many books can we collect?!  We are going to count all of them! So we really want this to be a home run!      

 

In October, we will also be asking everyone to check their couches and under their car seats for forgotten and unwanted pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. We will be collecting spare change again this year for another Auburn-founded charity: it's Rally Foundation's "4 Quarters 4 Research" fundraiser to raise money for Childhood Cancer Research.  

 

More details on all of this..next week! War Eagle!
