As some of you know, Gary and I serve on our local Lee County Auburn Club Board (see link to website on our links section). For the past few months, a group of us have been working diligently on the launch of our new initiative, Friendliest Village on the Plains (FVP for short) campaign.
What is FVP you ask?
Objective: to promote and encourage the hospitable and friendly Auburn spirit; specifically on football weekends, as a way to help visiting teams’ fans feel at home on the Auburn campus.
Implementation: through design, promotion and distribution of a lapel pin, we will help foster and grow the sense of family that is already a part of the typical Auburn University supporter’s experience. The pin will picture Aubie, who is loved by all and embodies the Auburn spirit, with a “welcome” sign. Pins will be sold (for $5 a piece) at Tiger Rags tents on game days, LCAC’s hospitality tent on gameday, at Cutie Pie, through word of mouth, and possibly at additional vendors down the road. Additionally, the Lee County Auburn Club will host a hospitality tent on the Nichols Building’s lawn. At this tent, bottled water, visitors guides, and information about Auburn will be provided to the visiting team’s fans. This will be a unique way for us to showcase true Auburn hospitality.
Current Supporters: fully endorsed by Aubie, President Gogue, and Tiger Rags
So, this weekend we will commence this effort . . . we hope you will spread the word to your Tiger friends (and non-Tiger friends). If you would like more info or are interested in buying a pin or volunteering your time, please contact me at sedmondson@charter.net.
