Robert also has a small BBQ available if you’d like to bring something to grill. 🍴 **Bring something to eat.** 🥤 **Bring something to drink.** 🤝 **Bring something to share.** Robert will provide the **tables, chairs, plates, utensils, cups, and other serving basics**. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🎶 **A Night at the Back Forty** Come at 6:30 or whatever time works for you. Settle in, grab some food, and enjoy a casual evening together. We’ll have plenty of time to mingle, listen to music, show off our costumes, and enjoy a little Halloween spirit. No elaborate Halloween production required — just good food, good company, and a fun excuse to spend the Friday before Halloween with friends. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🧥 **Dress for the Evening** San Mateo evenings can get chilly after sunset, and we’ll be outside, so bring a **jacket, sweater, or coat**. 🔥 **Robert has several outdoor heaters**, too, to help keep things comfortable as the evening cools down. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🚗 **Parking** The Back Forty is located across from **San Mateo High School in north San Mateo**. There is plenty of off-street parking behind the **San Mateo Performing Arts Center** and next to the **San Mateo Union High School District offices**. Please use these lots rather than parking in the surrounding neighborhood so street parking remains available for Robert’s neighbors. ♿️ **Robert’s driveway is reserved for anyone who needs accessible parking.** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 📍 **Location** Because this event is being held at a private home, **Robert’s exact address and additional arrival information will be emailed to attendees the day before the event.** Please make sure the email address associated with your Meetup account is current and watch for the event email on Thursday. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 💚 **Thank You, Robert!** A special thank-you to Robert Harker for opening his backyard to New Beginnings and providing the tables, chairs, dishes, heaters, and supplies that make these gatherings possible. And for anyone wondering… **“The Back Forty of what?”** Robert will tell you when he figures that out! 😉 \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Come spend the Friday night before Halloween with your New Beginnings friends for a festive evening at the Back Forty. We’d love to see you there! 🎃👻🍂 \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🔷 **See our Group Guidelines [HERE](https://sites.google.com/view/new-beginnings-guidelines/home)** **🔴 *Help Keep the Fun Going in 2026*** *As a volunteer-led group, member contributions help cover Meetup fees and the occasional venue rental that make our gatherings possible.
