Thanks for this great story, and for highlighting one of my "go to" inspirations about community building, Robert Putnam. I used his book Better Together for many years in my COA class!

Thank you for this story. As summer folk we feel connected with the town through volunteering, Contra Dances, our daughter working on MDI for several years, camps, etc. We make our home available in the winter to folks on the island who need affordable winter lodging. (Sorry, spoken for this winter).

Having received our tax bill the other day I expected a steep increase and it was there. I'm happy to be able to afford our share in maintaining the town and supporting our next generation as well.
