From Staff Reports
The Sept. 8 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.
The "Ham It Up" potluck begins at 6:30 p.m. B2B will be furnishing ham and beans. Bowls will be provided. Bring any sides that go with this. This means bring anything you like, including main dishes, sides and/or desserts. It can be garden produce or just your favorite potluck dish. Please bring your own table service (plates, utensils) to conserve resources. Beverages will be furnished.
Kathy Oxner will provide the entertainment -- stand-up comedy! Straight from performing daily for the Walmart Transportation Office in Bentonville ("Things that are here, I move there!!") -- she is our own McDonald County comedienne.
The meeting is from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Speaker Adam Strader, game warden with the Missouri Conservation Department, will be talking about his job, how they catch the bad guys, endangered species in Missouri, pests and much more.
Bring your spare change. B2B will be helping the McDonald County High School Marching Band kids in their fundraising project to go to the Sugar Bowl to play this coming January. It is a big honor for them to be asked again this year, and B2B is proud to be able to help.
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. The drawing for monthly door prizes continues. One entry for the prize will be awarded for each can or item of food brought.
There will also be a plant/seed share, so if you have plants you have been thinning, bring them for someone else to enjoy.
