 | | War Eagle from the Atlanta Auburn Club! |
| |
Greetings!
War Eagle everyone! No official word on Auburn's post-season bowl appearance, but like many in Atlanta we have heard that the Chick fil-A Bowl is in the mix. We will share any information as soon as we have it! In the meantime, a quick reminder that we will have a tailgate tent (& blowup Aubie!) setup down by Park Tavern (Piedmont Park) on Saturday morning for the BeltLine 10K. If you are running for the Auburn fan team -- don't forget to show your Auburn colors. And if you just want to tailgate one more time this season, put on your orange & blue and join us for an hour or two and help us cheer all the runners.. including our own Auburn Tigers!! (you are welcome to bring along your favorite tailgate beverage too!) We are competing for an alum group bragging title and prizes. Four-pawed Tigers are welcome -- and toddler Tigers (even in strollers) are welcome too! More info on the race is below.
VOTE FOR AUBIE! If you follow us on Facebook or Twitter, you have seen the alerts going out this week about Aubie's head-to-head semi-final round of voting -vs- Nevada's Wolfie in the 2011 Capitol One Mascot Challenge! Already some THREE MILLION votes have been cast just in this race!! Since we outnumber Nevada, there are rumors that Wolfie is getting votes from Bama voters, and/or running computer vote programs, etc. AUBIE NEEDS YOU TO VOTE!! So.... VOTE NOW! VOTE OFTEN!! JUST DO IT!! You can vote online at http://www.capitalonebowl.com -- or text AUBIE to 78527. Voting on iPad and iPhone very easy too (no verification code has to be typed in). If Aubie can win this round, he will be in the finals!! War Eagle!!
CHILDREN'S BOOK DRIVE: If you have kids and are cleaning out their rooms before Christmas, we are more than happy to accept any donations of gently used children's books for our ongoing drive in support of Atlanta Brave Tim Hudson's Hudson Family Foundation. This book drive, which is our big community service project supports the Foundation's "Rookie Reader" program in Georgia and Alabama. Please help us make a difference in the lives of children in need! We have donation barrels at The Bucket Shop and Twisted Taco/Wieuca Road. Please also talk to your friends, colleagues, neighbors. We are even happy to arrange for pickup of book donations! We want to make this AUBURN FAMILY community service project a grand slam home run!
DO YOU HAVE AN AUBURN-OWNED BUSINESS? We are considering running a special email before Christmas with advertised gift-giving specials for Auburn Tigers before the holidays. As all of us know, there is nothing "Auburn" to be found in stores here in Atlanta. So, if your business does something fun, offers gift certificates, sells Auburn fan products, etc please email us ASAP with details of what you have to offer. Christmas is almost here!

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!
