A community always has needs and issues that need attending to, in positive and negative circumstances. I think of very local and specialized leadership - representation for the people by the people. There is always a need for representation, planning, talking, feeding - there's always a need for citizens to have an outlet. Without organizations like these, communities scatter, and become inactive. Communication with other communities suffers.
Citizens feel isolated.
