There was a register for everyone to sign, giving their snail & email addresses so they could be mailed an invitation next year.  There were also name tag tags on the registration table & a ball point pen for people to make themselves a name tag.  I counted 27 people eating inside & 4 outside for a total of 31 at the reunion.  One lady left before we ate, so at least 32 came.  I arrived 30 minutes late, arriving at 2 PM.  We ate from about 2:15 PM to 3:15 PM.

After we ate, we had a short meeting.  I do not recall who won the prize for best dish, oldest attending, or who traveled the farthest.

Bud brought his computer with database and notebooks containing a printouts from his database.  He gave everyone one of his booklets on the descendants of Adam Bolick that he had printed years ago shortly after he started collecting data.  I brought 20 NC road maps from the NC Welcome Center & left them on the registration table marked "Free maps" & about 10 maps were adopted by the end of the reunion.  Before Paulma Laws, Mrs. Benefield from Maryland, & others left, I mentioned that 2003 would be the 250th anniversary of Adam Bolick coming to America & that I thought Mrs. Benefield from Maryland & I had once suggested we should have a big reunion in 2003 to celebrate that.  We mentioned the big reunion that Wes Bolick had done.

Everyone was gone by 4:30 PM, except Carroll "Bud" Bolick & myself.  Carroll & I talked until nearly dark (7 PM).  I made a sketch of the facilities with Carroll's help (see below).  We talked of what could be done for a big reunion: music & boat rides had been mentioned earlier.  I mentioned the Killians had talked of making a coin to celebrate the 300th birthday of their immigrant ancestor.  I mentioned the Cline Reunion has a 3 day reunion every other year.  I said Carroll might really be able to get some data in if we had camping.  Carroll said the Bethlehem Wildlife Club (where we met) allows camping for $5 per night.  There is room for 5 to 10 campers in the parking lot & 5 to 10 tents on the grass terrace between the parking lot & the lake.  There are 7 outlet boxes among the camping spots with 2 outlets in each box.  Each outlet is a 3 prong outlet.  There are 4 water faucets in the camping area.  There are 2 bathrooms there & one shower.  There is a concrete boat ramp, 3 places to dock boats at a pier.  There is a diving board on a platform.  There is a sunning platform.  There is a platform with a slide on it to climb up & then slide down into the water.  There are 11 picnic tables & an open & a closed BBQ pit & a horseshoes pit.  Inside there are 2 stoves, 2 refrigerators, a double sink, and a fireplace.  I think it might be nice to stay over night & get to know each other.
