Mapping a Thriving Community Network

Explore how a weekend roundup of local events reveals the anatomy of a thriving community network. Use the listed events (markets, speaker series, paddle group, ladies night) as case studies for how information spreads, volunteers coordinate, and participants form social bonds. Analyze the roles of organizers, attendees, and sponsors in building trust and sustaining activity over time. Highlight how informal networks complement formal institutions in supporting local economies and well-being. End with a prompt for readers to reflect on their own contributions to their community network.
