7. EVENTS: Meetings, Performances & Competitions
 Every
long-lasting community is brought together by regular events: family dinners,
weekly card games, monthly club meetings, yearly celebrations. These gatherings
help define the community, and they remind people of what they have in
common and what their community is all about.
Successful events don't just happen; they require careful
planning, skillful facilitation, and timely follow-up. To get the most
out of your events, you'll need to understand the basic anatomy of an event,
and then develop an events plan that reinforce your purpose and values
and can meet the changing needs of your members.
