We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future. ~Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Example
The people in our community have a great community spirit. We always help each other and keep our community beautiful.

at PC we are a diverse collection of individuals, with individual needs, whom gather together to create and enjoy a spirit of unity, togetherness, helpfulness and friendliness... we are concerned with matters affecting us all, in each of our lives we cross paths, influence one another, make reality what it is... at PC we are not a collection of 86,000+ members on individual courses, incognizant of our neighbors... we care, we have consideration of and hope to build a place of safety for each and all...

communities often organize for the benefit of the group and the group consists of the individuals within.. what affects the one affects the whole..

PC is more than the individual, it is all of us and all of us matter...

a community is capable of combining resources, sharing energy, overcoming barriers.. community can activate, organize and shape.. community is a collective of common goals... our common goal at PC is to aspire towards and accomplish goals of greater health, for one, for all...

communities are often created around what is known as a 'charter'
char·ter (chärtr)n.1. A document issued by a sovereign, legislature, or other authority, creating a public or private corporation, such as a city, college, or bank, and defining its privileges and purposes.
2. A written grant from the sovereign power of a country conferring certain rights and privileges on a person, a corporation, or the people: A royal charter exempted the Massachusetts colony from direct interference by the Crown.
3. A document outlining the principles, functions, and organization of a corporate body; a constitution: the city charter.
4. An authorization from a central organization to establish a local branch or chapter.

2. To hire or lease by charter: charter an oil tanker.
3. To hire (a bus or airplane, for example) for the exclusive, temporary use of a group of travelers.

the PC website is similar to a vessel and we each are the travellers which travel its path

PC can benefit from the use of its own charter in several different ways... our guidelines can serve as the groundwork for such an agreement and as members we can swear to uphold the guidelines that have been provided to offer us as safe a place as possible to share our stories and struggles..

as a community we can pledge to these guidelines and in so doing become a stronger community, dedicated to the founding principles of what PC is all about.. ordinary people helping ordinary people...

my sincere appreciation goes out to all PC members who continue to uphold and strengthen our PC community

may all be well, ty for reading
