Alumni News
Below is information from fellow Alum, Kimberly Hallman. Please send me your input on how you may want to become more involved with the community and particularly with this project at Hapeville Elementary School. A small committee could be formed for this project if interested. This could require donations from our group, fundraisers, etc.

Kim’s co-worker’s daughter attends Hapeville Elementary School, and these were some suggestions for the AFC Alumni to consider for helping with some promotions at their school.

1. Provide Star luncheon for our students once a month.
2. Provide bikes for awards day for perfect attendance and academic.
3. Provide gifts for the citizen of the month.
4. Provide gifts for the Principal honor student. (All A’s)”

Falcons Cheerleaders Alumni Game Day Reunion 2006

It had been over 15 years since the Alumni Cheerleaders performed at a Falcons game. The last reunion performance was in 1990 with the lovely white leotards, leg warmers and HUGE hair while celebrating 25 years of The Atlanta Falcons. On Sunday, October 22nd, the Atlanta Falcons were the host to the Superbowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers at The Georgia Dome. To help commemorate the NFL's 40 years and 40 years of NFL cheerleaders, the Atlanta Falcons Cheerleaders Alumni group performed during the pre-game festivities.

We had over 100 Alumni to perform the October 22nd pre-game show! The group looked beautiful and did a fantastic job. It was great seeing all of our hard work pay off and come together to look AWESOME. Everyone was so EXCITED and immensely enjoyed our 5 minutes of FAME!!! The Falcons organization gave us rave reviews and the fans in the stands complimented our pre-game show. The biggest compliment was from a Pittsburgh Steelers Fan who approached some of us after the game and said they enjoyed our Alumni performance.

For more information, please contact Mickey Crawford, AFC Alumni Coordinator at cheergirl84@bellsouth.net.

More AFC Alumni news and pictures coming soon.
