La Comunanza

This is the local community association which you are eligible to join after living for 5 years in our village of Manciano. Each village will have its own association.

There was a meeting this evening to discuss in part the building of a new community centre for the village. The groundwork for this has been done but there is funding shortfall for the building works and so the Comunanza want to call for a additional contribution from the membership and approach non-members to ask for a contribution. This was a hotly debated topic. We are not members of the association and so await the letter from the association to find out what the contribution requested is and the conditions of this contribution.

As with all community organisations there deeply held views on what should or should not be done.
