Auburn, Ala. (Jan. 16) – Auburn Art, a specialty gift shop located in downtown Auburn, is honoring the

The limited-edition letterpress posters are handcrafted by a local Auburn artist and will only be available

former chair of the Auburn Faculty Athletic Committee.

Further, in 2012, Hare had an in-store Toomer’s Oak Sculpture made in replication of the historic oak

trees.

“I wanted a piece of art that represented the love of the Auburn tradition of rolling the oak trees to

future generations by creating the sculpture. Now, I’m excited to celebrate with the Auburn community

the arrival of the new trees through our letterpress poster,” Hare said.

Hare looks forward to cherishing old traditions and fresh beginnings with the Auburn community with

the new oak trees.

U.S. HUNGER ALL IN TO HELP FAMILIES OF OKLAHOMA

Feeding Children Everywhere will Send Healthy Meals Right Here in U.S.

Feeding Children Everywhere has recently launched its newest initiative, U.S. Hunger; a social

charity that specializes in the empowerment and mobilization of people to provide a healthy solution to

the hunger problem in the United States.

U.S. Hunger is partnering with the Riverside, Calif., community to help package healthy meals

for hungry people in Oklahoma, as part of its Hope for Oklahoma Relief Fund. At this event, volunteers

will make a tangible difference by hand-packaging 100,000 healthy meals that will be distributed to the

Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma and Oklahoma City Public Schools.

“We feel we have a responsibility to our nation to respond and help, that’s what America does.

Most of California can’t go to Oklahoma City, but can donate and help,” said Feeding Children

Everywhere CEO, Don Campbell.

The event will take place Saturday, June 1, 2013 at The Grove Community Church from 9 a.m. to

2 p.m. and will be accompanied with great music and good fun. U.S. Hunger also encourages people to

bring any non-perishable items to the event.

Alabama Legislators to Visit Auburn for Legislative Panel

When caught up in the daily schedule of life, classes and work, it is hard to stay updated

with politics, much less wade through the bureaucratic intricacies of state government.

However, Auburn students, faculty and staff will have a unique opportunity to learn

about Alabama politics in October.

Five Alabama state legislators, Republican and Democrat, will visit Auburn to speak

about their advocacy for higher education as well as Auburn’s impact on legislation, the

economy and even the presidential election during Auburn SGA’s “Capitol on the Plains: A

Legislative Panel.”

The event, scheduled for 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 16 in the Student Center Ballroom, will

give attendees a coveted glimpse into state government.

The speakers invited include Speaker of the House, Representative Mike Hubbard;

Representative Mary Sue McClurken; Representative Warren Pebblin; Senator Tom Whatley;

and Senator Phil Williams.

Attendees will not only get to hear from these key voices in Alabama politics, but have

the opportunity to ask questions and meet the politicians.

Any student, faculty member or staff member who is interested in state government,

wants to know more about Auburn’s political impact or even wants to meet his or her political

representative should attend. The event is free to all Auburn students, faculty and staff.
