We mention community a lot in our posts. But what IS a community? What makes up your community?

Merriam Webster defines community as
: a group of people who live in the same area (such as a city, town, or neighborhood)
: a group of people who have the same interests, religion, race, etc.
: a group of nations

plural com·mu·ni·ties

1
:  a unified body of individuals: as
a :  state, commonwealth
b :  the people with common interests living in a particular area; broadly :  the area itself <the problems of a large community>
c :  an interacting population of various kinds of individuals (as species) in a common location
d :  a group of people with a common characteristic or interest living together within a larger society <a community of retired persons>
e :  a group linked by a common policy
f :  a body of persons or nations having a common history or common social, economic, and political interests <the international community>
g :  a body of persons of common and especially professional interests scattered through a larger society <the academic community>

2
:  society at large

3
a :  joint ownership or participation <community of goods>
b :  common character :  likeness <community of interests>
c :  social activity :  fellowship
d :  a social state or condition

For our purposes, we focus on community as: a unified body of individuals…”a group of people who live in the same area”, as in”the people with common interests living in a particular area”…”an interacting population of various kinds of individuals in a common location”, “a group of people…living together within a larger society”, and even “society at large”.

How do you define community? What can you do for your community?
