community

[Scott Willard]

Nancy,
  You're right on track with my purpose.  I am working this summer on my graduate thesis paper (Seattle U.).  The topic Community:  The theory and practice of developing community.  So your reference list is excellent.  Most appreciated.

I too had a hard time figuring out what community was exactly and found lots of different meanings for the word depending on your situation. I have skimmed my reference list and found some of the sources that I used to define community. What ever definition you like, I think that community is a vital, exciting, challenging, rewarding place that we create for ourselves where ever we go! 
  Be well, 
  Nancy

  I have read a lot of e-mails about "community."  Does anyone have a top 10 list of references around what community means?  What it is, how it happens, why it matters?

Live life and live it large,
Scott
