Commonground* is having a charcuterie board contest! Is your ideal charcuterie board filled with artisan meats and cheeses carefully arranged with fresh herbs and edible flowers? Fantastic! Or are you more of a drive through chicken nuggets piled on a paper plate left over from last Christmas kind of person? Perfect! We'll have awards for Best Tasting, Best Looking, and Most Creative. Mostly, though, this is just an excuse to catch up with old friends, welcome new ones, and have a few laughs together.

* For those of you new to Commonground. . . we are a FUMCAH social group for those in their 30s, 40s and 50s, many of whom are juggling school age and older children, aging parents, and life in general. We get together at fun events like game nights, BBQs, and our annual Christmas Party. If you'd like to be added to the Commonground email list, contact Carolyn at carolynconlee@mac.com.
