Community Living 101: Contribution

Circle of Multi-colored Paper People Cutouts

Many people are more familiar with a style of living that tends to isolate them from others. "I mind my business and you mind yours." But at some point, it does take contributions from all involved parties. This does not go against the principle of "privacy." There are many ways of contributing without giving up our individual “sense of space.” Some people are good at observation, and can remember details to a fault. Other people have ideas about how to settle disputes in ways that benefit everyone. And still others have the knack of seeing challenges from different perspectives. Collectively, all these skills and more are needed to help a community thrive. The WinHood Community is a shining example of what can be accomplished when people contribute.

Stay tuned as we continue to implement new ways for our members to add value to our community. We have monthly meetings, the second Thursday of every month, designed to address issues as well as share ideas. Participate in the yearly elections and be prepared to run for open spots on the Board of Trustees. In between time, feel free to send your suggestions throught our Contact page or drop them off in our drop box at 1948 W. Hood.
