All selections from the "Carolina book".
After service at 11, and a bounteous 'dinner on the grounds' at noon, the singers gathered in the church about 1:30 pm. We were welcomed by Mr Bill Thompson, who also offered the opening prayer; we were asked especially to remember those persons in Canton and Clyde, and elsewhere in Western North Carolina, who had been flooded out by the remnants of Hurricane Frances. He then turned the singing over to June Smathers Jolley. .

There were about forty persons present, of whom some thirty were singing. We had fine September weather.
Afterwards, a group of ten paid a visit to Mrs Sue Smathers (widow of Quay Smathers, and mother of June Jolley) at her nursing home. We sang for about an hour, and the only songs we repeated were Pisgah, Northfield, Lonsdale and Angel Band. Miss Sue said she enjoyed the singing, but that she missed one voice in particular.
