Greetings!
Saturday's away game versus LSU is a 3:30pm ET kickoff (CBS). For those who didn't travel to Baton Rouge, we hope to see you at our game watching locations. A full listing is below and you can also always find on the info section of our Facebook page. We will be at The Bucket Shop Saturday for our final Game Day promotion with Verizon. We'll also be holding a separate club raffle to benefit our scholarship fund -- prizes will include an autographed copy of Coach Chizik's book, gift cards for The Villager, Shug's book store in Auburn, The Bucket Shop, and Slopes BBQ here in Atlanta, plus more. And, If you bring a donation for our children's book drive, we will give you an EXTRA ticket for the raffle. We will also have some friends joining us at Bucket Shop -- find out about Toomer's Rolls, Auburn Auto Mirror Covers and VIP Tailgate... ALL of them are the efforts of some Metro area Auburn Tigers. And we'll be selling club t-shirts, too! Thanks to everyone who joined us for the bus trip to the Florida game! Next stop is Athens on November 12 for our date between the hedges with the Georgia Bulldogs. Kickoff has not been announced yet, but the buses are already filling up nicely. We have a lot of Tigers riding with us from out of state for this one ---- so don't wait until the last minute! Reserve Now!!! Link is below.
DON'T FORGET: We have a children's book drive in support of Atlanta Brave Tim Hudson's Hudson Family Foundation. This book drive, which is our big community service project this Fall, will run through the end of the season, and it's to support the Foundation's "Rookie Reader" program in Georgia and Alabama. Please help us make a difference in the lives of children in need by bringing donations of new or gently used children's books to our club viewing locations, on our bus trips, etc. Barrels are now in The Bucket Shop and Twisted Taco/Wieuca Road. Please talk to your friends, colleagues, neighbors - you can also contact us to make other arrangements for pickup. We want to make this AUBURN FAMILY community service project a grand slam home run!

Wrapped around replica cardboard toilet paper rolls, and featuring fine stitching that mimics toilet paper perforation seams- these scarves give a nod to Auburn's famous winning tradition while preserving the delicate Toomer's Oaks. But the best part is the price: $17.16 - an obvious nod to the score of the 1972 Iron Bowl (shipping included).
