The Jan. 12 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 "We Resolve To Eat Something NEW" potluck begins at 6:30 p.m. New Years is the time for resolution, so this time resolve to try a new food! If you are adventurous, bring something you have never tried before. Otherwise, bring anything you like, including main dishes, sides and/or desserts. Please bring your own table service (plates, utensils) to conserve resources. B2B will be furnishing beverages.
Jack and LeeAnn Sours will provide the entertainment with the guitar and fiddle, flute and/or anything else she decides to play. If you have never heard her, she is amazing.
The speaker will be Roderick May, manager of the Neosho Fish Hatchery. He will be talking a bit about the Fish Hatchery's community programs, including the Veteran's and Youth days, the Palid Sturgeon rescue project, plus he is a bee keeper and will give us some beekeeping tips. Don't miss this fun and interesting evening.
We have a new segment for this meeting called "You Did WHAT?" Be thinking of an occupation or adventure that you had that no one would have ever thought of you ("G" rated, of course).
Remember, for winter, if McDonald County Schools are closed due to weather, there will not be a B2B meeting.
Please 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.
