The second meeting of the Horry County chapter of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps will be at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 11, at the Conway High School auditorium.

More than 100 people showed up for the first meeting, overflowing the meeting room at the Socastee library and prompting officials to rent the larger auditorium space. A crowd of 400 or 500 is expected, organizers say.

Speakers will include state Rep. Thad Viers, R-Myrtle Beach, former Myrtle Beach mayor and Senate candidate Mark McBride, Clemson City Councilwoman Margaret Thompson, retired Horry County probation officer Tim Zachary and Roan Garcia-Quintana, a Cuban exile and director of Mauldin-based group Americans Have Had Enough.

A question-and-answer session will follow the speakers.
