In This Edition:

*********

In Town Tigers is a new group started by LSU Atlanta to plan and host more activities for Tigers with the city lifestyle. Most events will be inside the Perimeter, and the kickoff gathering will be Saturday, March 28th from 3 to 5 p.m. at Front Page News in Little Five Points (351 Moreland Ave.) featuring a very special meet-and-greet with LSU Football legends Rohan Davey and Chad Lavalais.

 

All LSU fans get a free ticket for great door prizes. Front Page News (a Touchdown sponsor of LSU Atlanta) will have drink specials and their full menu ready for LSU fans.

 

If you have a good question, fill out a card with a question for either or both players. Several of the best questions submitted will be asked onstage during the Q&A session, and one selected questioner will win a prize. An autograph period will follow the brief program.

If you are on Facebook, join in at “LSU Alumni Association – Atlanta” to mingle with In Town Tigers chaired by Charlie Vaughn.

The prizes and mudbugs will be flying on Saturday, April 25th as Lake Allatoona becomes Bayou Allatoona for “Crawfish Craze in Red Clay Country” hosted by LSU Atlanta. Thanks for the positive feedback and to those of you who have contributed to the early burst of sales. In addition to music by Zydefunk (thanks to Duffy Realty of Atlanta for sponsoring the band!), there will be over 40 prizes given away in the general prize drawing, the new Members Only drawing and other special activities. The more people sign up, the more prizes we’ll throw into the party to make sure at least one out of five takes something home. 

 

And hold onto your hats for the list of great items we’re putting together for auction – much more news on that will be coming soon!

You WON’T want to miss this one. Read the whole story HERE and then order your tickets and crawfish today!

A hospitality tailgate will be jointly hosted by LSU Atlanta and Atlanta Tigers –TAF Chapter at the LSU-UGA game on Saturday April 4th. First pitch will be 1 pm. so we should be set up no later than 10 am. We will try to set up as close to the walkway along the third base side, look for the tents and “LSU EVENT” yard sign with an arrow.  There will be some tailgate tastes shared to put everyone in the mood but bring your own beverages.

 

Also, apparently reserved seats have SOLD OUT – as of yesterday general admission tickets were still available - buy yours now at Georgia Bulldogs Online Ticket Office - here's the link for the April 4 Game.

Over 60 tickets have already been purchased for the first-ever visit by the Tiger Tour Featuring Les Miles, coming to the Cobb Galleria Centre on Thursday, June 11th. Several premium tables have been reserved that ensure reserved seating closest to the stage. Get 8 people together and reserve your table now! Individual ticket holders will be free to sit anywhere in the open seating tables. With big screen TVs and premium audio for the three hour multimedia show, there won’t be a bad seat in the house.

LSU Atlanta was featured in the spring quarterly edition of LSU Magazine, which is distributed to all members of the main LSU Alumni Association. The story summarized improved and increased events and activities of the chapter, new sponsorship efforts, our role in obtaining the Tiger Tour, and the ongoing campaign to get 1,000 Tiger fans to order an LSU theme Georgia license plate. The story was also reprinted in a recent issue of Tiger Rag Magazine.
