The goal may be of direct interest to a subset of the community, such as raising a new barn for an individual <A href="http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?CommunityMember">CommunityMember</A>, or it may be a <A href="http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?SuperordinateGoal">SuperordinateGoal</A>, of interest to the entire community, such as a new school.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?BarnRaising"><P>
<STRONG>Make the impossible possible.</STRONG> It's pretty much impossible for one person to raise a barn. The main part of the process is taking two framed walls that have been built lying on the ground and raising them to vertical.  Thus <A href="http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?BarnRaising">BarnRaising</A> <STRONG>demands collaboration</STRONG> in a way that other activities do not.

<STRONG>Make friends.</STRONG> A barn raising tends to be a situation where you raise the walls of a barn, then you have a big party with everyone who's around. That's where the social aspect of it comes from. Lift some walls, rejoice and dance.
