Best and the Brightest Attend the 2011 Freshman Send-Off
A huge crowd of the new U of A students from the Charlotte area gathered
at the beautiful home of the Yokley's for a Bama-Bound Send-Off Party on Sunday July 24, 2011.
New Bama students and their parents and siblings had a chance meet other Bama-bound folks, socialize,
eat some good food, and participate in some fun activities. Alabama's recruitment of "the best and
the brightest was certainly evident at this gathering!
