| Greetings!
Hope everyone has been having a safe and Happy Thanksgiving weekend!
Auburn plays Alabama today in the annual Iron Bowl. Kickoff at Jordan-Hare is 2:30P CT/ 3:30P ET. The game will be broadcast on CBS, and ESPN's College Game Day is also in Auburn. Additional Game Day information can be found at this link if needed: http://www.auburntigers.com/gameday/
REMINDER: 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. Collection barrels are at 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!

Keep the Winning Tradition Rolling with Toomer's Rolls!
It's this season's newest game day accessory! Toomer's Rolls, developed by an Auburn grad and her Georgia Tech pal from business school in Atlanta, are made out of soft "scarf like" material that will keep you wrapped in spirit whether watching the game home or away. 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). Grab yours before the next AU game at www.toomersrolls.com and share in the winning tradition!
*Toomer's Rolls will be joining the Atlanta Auburn Club at The Bucket Shop on Lenox Road for LSU game watching on October 22, 2011 - WDE!
