March comes in with a burst of Sunshine!
Posted Saturday, March 6, at 6:54 PM
March 2010 greeted winter-weary residents with a welcome warm-up, brilliant sunshine, and blue skies! Stoddard Country residents shed their long underwear and heavy coats to rush outside and enjoy a preview of Spring. Farmers took advantage of the dry weather to till their fields and get ready to plant their crops.
These are the core activities happening in Advance for the month of March. Please feel free add to the ones that we missed - and check back for updates. Tuesday, March 2....7 p.m. The Advance Community Library held its first meeting since raising over $950 in matching funds for the Bill and Melinda Gates Technology Grant. With $1,000 in regularly-budgeted city funds, they will now be able to receive $5850 from the foundation, with which to purchase 3 new computers. They plan to continue fund-raising for Phase II of the process, which will result in 2 more computers at 50% matching of $2600/$2600. Thursday, March 4...6 p.m. Senior Center board meeting - cancelled due to illness of the Board chairman. This organization was pleased to accept another local church as monthly sponsor - Bethel General Baptist Church has joined Christian Life and Brownwood Baptist to support the center, which receives no government help. Monday, March 8...7 p.m. Lone Oak Board of Trustees. Thursday, March 11...7 p.m. Advance R-IV School Board meeting. Sunday, March 14....Daylight Savings Time begins!! Yippee!!!

There will be no November 3 election in Advance!! Because of a mix up between the County Clerk's office and the Dexter Statesman, the Nov. 3 Election ballot did not get cancelled for the Oct. 21 issue of the North Stoddard Countian. The ballot ran on page 5 of the NSC and will undoubtedly cause confusion...
The Return of Clem Kadiddle Hopper People coming in - or going out - of Advance on Highway C this afternoon may not have seen the activity at the Senior Community (Nutrition) Center today, but this NSC reporter just happened to be there, clipping spent rose blooms off the Knock Out roses, when the action occured!...
Upcoming events in Advance As the rain pours down, dampening a little of our enthusiasm for Fall, several events are being planned in October for the Advance community. This information will be updated as we find out more. Thanks to Corey for undertaking this new website program. Our prayer is for it to prosper. We also pray for the rain to STOP, so that Bloomfield can have a good fall festival!...
