so i just got word that there will be a write-up about our efforts in the next issue of the LSUAA magazine...ask and ye shall receive - now, let's just hope that it reaches some more folks who want to get license plates or even better, some alums with generous donation pockets to help out our cause!
I should send a link to this thread to my sister and her sons that live in ATL (they are huge UGA and GT fans) ETA: I put a link to the ordering site on my Facebook feed instead (seeing as how I grew up in ATL)
Awesome, those of us that live in GA and are pushing for this to happen are appreciative for the assist!
AtlantaBengal: We arent far from Lassiter at all, i just drove by it Tuesday lol. We are in the Acworth/Woodstock near Allatoona.
I've lurked here for a couple years without posting, but I live in Georgia as well. I actually live in Canton north of Atlanta not far from most of you guys. We're also heading up to Knoxville for the game this weekend. P.S. Already ordered my license plate.
well if i jump the creek im in your back yard napolean lol nice to know there's some of us around. my sister was married in gulf shores alabama last weekend (yeah she's a tide fan) and the lsu fans were out in force, was a nice change from what we see here. i dont know about you guys but i get lots of hate when i stroll in with lsu hat/shirt on hehe especially on game days. ive been an lsu fan since high school (was one of the schools i threw an application to just to see if i could get in) so around 94 or so. i too have been reading the forums for a couple years now just havent posted, and from what ive seen of other forums, we have the best in the biz.
So, the most recent update - we're making awesome progress...keep getting your donations/orders in and keep spreading the word. We raised almost $3000 in the past 2 weeks and we have just gotten an anonymous pledge to match the next $3500 dollar for dollar. The LSU Atlanta chapter has also agreed to match the remaining $1500 dollar for dollar to get us to our goal. This means, we only need to raise another $5000 from the community at large and we'll have our goal to pay for the plates manufacturing fee. Every little bit counts, so if you can donate even just $25 (more is better) or if you haven't ordered your plate yet, do it now. GEAUX TIGERS!
Why did we change from the original design? I much preferred the tiger head over the LSU rather than the awful 80s style airbrushed eye design.
Unfortunately I can't comment on the design decision, but you could always send an email to the Atlanta Chapter license plate committee and perhaps they can provide you with an answer... [email protected]
