A Message from The Atlanta Auburn Club

On behalf of the Atlanta Auburn Club Board of Directors, I wanted let everyone know about a big change for our local club. Some, if not many, of you have probably heard about the Auburn Alumni Association's new UNITY membership program. The first of three waves was launched last October, involving many of the smaller clubs. Atlanta, like other larger Auburn clubs, was not scheduled to join in until October 2011. That said, I am proud to let all of you know that our Atlanta club board has voted to jump in NOW.

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, feel free to contact me any time.

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!

War Eagle!
Kathleen Saal
Atlanta Auburn Club President

Who qualifies as a Young Alum? Anyone who has graduated from Auburn within the past 10 years.

The Young Alums work in partnership with the AAC on the club’s various events held throughout the year. There are also some special gatherings planned with the Young Alums in mind!
