It is with much regret that we must cancel a large portion of Common Ground on the Border this year. However, we will still offer the border lectures on Saturday morning (January 15). We will be able to have some present on our patio and we'll offer these lectures on Zoom as well. We will also be able to offer a concert on the patio at a time of day when temperatures will be suitable.
