The Feb. 11 meeting of the McDonald County Back to Basics Community Group will be held at the New Mac Community Room, old Highway 71 -- north of the high school -- in Anderson, Mo. There will be a Valentine potluck at 6:30 p.m., with the meeting following from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
Because it is just before Valentine's Day, participants are invited to bring their honey's favorite dish or bring their own favorites. This can be anything, including main dishes, sides and/or desserts. Bring your own table service (plates, utensils) to conserve resources. Beverages will be furnished.
Brandon Wooden and his banjo will provide the entertainment.
This meeting will feature the Antiques Road Show -- well, the B2B version anyway. So all participants will be the speakers. Bring your neatest "old" thing (spouses don't qualify) for show and tell. While there won't actually be anyone there to tell the real value, the group will have some fun with pretend "experts." Bring more than one item if you choose, but you will have three minutes to tell about one, and then they will go around again if there is time.
Bring a canned or packaged food donation to be given to Crosslines (must be non-expired and non-dented!). If everyone brought just one can, there would be 40 or 50 cans to help feed some hungry folks. B2B will be continuing the drawing for the monthly door prize. One entry for the prize will be allotted for each can or item of food brought.
The group is on Facebook at McDonald County Back to Basics (B2B) Community Group. Anyone can post tips, pictures and news.
The McDonald County Back to Basics Community Group (B2B) was formed in 2008 as a grassroots effort to combine education, information, community services and a social outlet so that the group can support each other in good times and bad. This activity is fun, free and open to all including surrounding communities.
