As I drove away from the Historical Society the other day, even as cars were arriving, one after another to drop off food, it felt like a dream come true. The downstairs dining room, home of the Improvement Association for the past 50 or so years, was bustling with activity, as huge pans of beans and mountains of coleslaw were laid out, assembly-line fashion. The biscuits I’d just taken out of the oven, my one contribution to the effort, waited their place in the line, along with those of the other biscuit-makers. Cookies, cookies, cookies – gluten-free and gluten-full – completed the menu.
