Chair’s Greetings In the words of the late Maya Angelou, “…bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave.” We Rise. We Rise. We Rise! Excitement and anticipation are in the air as Chapel Hill always gives that nostalgic feel of home and reminds us of our journey as a people. As the 2014 BAR chair, I sincerely welcome you home.

Homecoming brings back so many memories and wonderful joys for each participant. From hospitality events to the golf tournament to the football game, our weekend celebration will be one of exceptional enrichment and networking opportunities. BAR also creates a sense of celebration for those who have worked tirelessly throughout the year to bridge together the weekend activities. I would like to express many thanks to the BAR Planning Committee for working diligently together as a TEAM to provide a memorable weekend

est. for your enjoyment and pleasure. We salute the GAA staff for always making BAR a phenomenal success.

Please take full advantage of all the opportunities that the weekend schedule provides. Make it fun, exciting and most importantly, memorable. Post your pictures on Facebook, Instagram and of course Twitter.

Safe travels and we are waiting for you on the Hill. Remember there is no place like home, no place like Chapel Hill!

Hark the Sound & Go Heels!
