This past week,
I had the pleasure
of getting to know
a local high school
student, Aubrey
Thomas who is
organizing a benefit
concert to help
raise money for the
Statesboro AMBUCS
organization. The
tricycles are known
as Amtryke, which
are modified
tricycles. The
modified tricycles
are given to adults
and children with
motor limitations.
Each Amtryke costs
around $1,000.
AMBUCS was
founded in 1922 by
a businessman who
wanted to give back
to his community.
The original name
was American
Business Clubs, and
its first product was Aubrey Thomas
the Amtryke.
Audrey is a rising senior at Southeast Bulloch High School and
participates in beauty pageants. She has won the awards of Miss
Southeast Bulloch High School and Teen Miss Brooklet Peanut Festival.
Aubrey has a passion for special education and currently assists a special
needs class at Sallie Zetterower Elementary in Statesboro as part of her
work-based learning class. Audrey says, “every morning I go for an
hour and a half to Sallie Zetterower Elementary, I am in an elementary
special education class, which has inspired me to do this event.” She
continues saying that “I have gotten lots of hands-on experience and am
learning so much about the education field.” She loves what she does at
school and knows this is what she would like to pursue in college and
eventually go into special education. Audrey says about future college
plans, “I am really not sure where I want to § ee BENEFIT page 5
go for school, but I would not be mad if I
