Iverson Speaks At B2B Dinner

The June 9 meeting of 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 Red, White and Blue Potluck begins at 6:30 p.m. Since it is just after Memorial Day, bring your favorite red, white and blue dish or anything else, including main dishes, sides and/or desserts. Please bring your own table service (plates, utensils) to conserve resources. Beverages will be furnished. Trilogy will provide the entertainment.

The meeting is from 7 to 8:30 p.m. The speaker will be Roy Iveson, who started “One Veteran, One Dog, Two Lives Saved.” He will speak about how his group rescues dogs from certain death and horrible conditions, trains them to be service dogs and then pairs them with Veterans who are suffering from PTSD and other combat related ills.

They will also have a plant/seed share, so if you have plants you have been thinning, bring them for someone else to enjoy.

Garden Tour is being planned for June 18. Come to the meeting to get details.

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.
