“Community is a sense of camaraderie - I've always enjoyed sharing experiences with other people.”

“Community, to me, can be a small and comfortably sized group of people to a large massive group even nation that I call  myself a part of. That group and I have something in common: whether our community is our classroom or our country, we're glad to share our troubles, share our pride or relate our experiences as a member of a common people. When we start to realize that we're all part of a whole, it's easier to smile at our neighbors, we're all in it together.”

“Community means being able to recognize someone any time you walk out of your house!”

“To me, community is more than a place, it's a state of mind. Community is getting to know your neighbors, participating in local events, and always having a smiling face and a helpful attitude.”

Community is a collective group of individuals who share a common area of residence, choice of beliefs, or bond over a similar characteristic and lifestyle; community is a form of togetherness that requires communication, trust and ideas.

"Community means a mutual respect and understanding for the people around you, and being open minded about getting to know everyone and accepting all differences."

“The community stagnates without the impulse of the individual. The impulse dies away without the sympathy of the community.”

“Community is defined by a shared sense of neighborhood values by those that live in the area. While living as individuals, we share our neighborhood space and agree to maintain it--physically and socially--for all of us to feel safe and comfortable.”

“Neighborhood means many people living in one shared location, where as community implies a greater deal of connection.  To me, community means that the people of a neighborhood share a certain level of respect for one another and can relate and bond easier because they share the same area of living.”
