The Oct. 12 meeting of the McDonald County Back to Basics Community Group will be held at the New Mac Community Room, old Highway 71n north of the High School in Anderson, Mo. The group gathers the second Thursday of each month. The pot luck at begins at 6:30 p.m.

Harvest Moon, Harvest Food, nice time to bring in some of your autumn favorites or bring anything you like including main dishes, sides and/or desserts. Please bring your own table service (plates, utensils) to conserve resources. Beverages will be furnished.

Speaker for this month is Gregg Sweeten. We missed him last time due to bad weather that he had to monitor. Hopefully, there will be fair skies this time as he talks about Storm Spotting and Emergency Management.

Entertainment is to be determined.

We are 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 we can support each other in good times and bad. This activity is fun, free and open to all, including surrounding communities.
