B2B Fall Harvest Potluck Oct. 13

The Oct. 13 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 “Fall Harvest” potluck begins at 6:30 p.m. B2B will be furnishing beverages. Bring your Fall favorites or anything else, including main dishes, sides and/or desserts. Please bring your own table service (plates, utensils) to conserve resources.

The McDonald County High School Jazz Band under the direction of Laurie Kinder-Lang will provide the entertainment.

The meeting is from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Speaker Mark Knight, who owns Goodman Meat Shop and Processing, will be discussing what types of meats can be processed, how they should be treated, the dangers associated with consuming wild game, and what the best cuts of meat are.

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.
