 +This report has four chapters and an appendix.   
 + 
 +In Chapter I, for the sake of concreteness, we present one-sentence summaries of the 64 patterns in the pattern language. 
 + 
 +In Chapter II we discuss the nature of the individual patterns. 
 + 
 +In Chapter III, we show how these patterns may be combined to form multi-service centers.  We give eight examples of multi-service centers design for different communities -- all of them generated by the pattern language. 
 + 
 +In Chapter IV, we discuss the nature of the pattern language more fully. 
 + 
 +In the Appendix -- the longest chapter -- we present the 64 patterns in full.  [p. 3] 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +Throughout the report, and especially in the patterns, the reader will find terms he may not be familiar with.  The following gives brief definitions of those most frequently used. The numbers in brackets refer to pages where the reader will find a more complete definition. 
 + 
 +__Target Area__: The geographic area and the population service by a program (in this case a Multi-Service Center).  (75) (59) 
 + 
 +__Service__:  A facility organized to give specialized aid to people in the community.  A service might be educational counselling, or an employment service, or legal aid, etc.  (89) 
 + 
 +__Community Project__: Any program or project initiated by a community resident or community group, and run by community people.  Examples of community projects are:  a community newspaper, a welfare rights group, a community owned and run landromat.  (80) 
 + 
 +__Board of Directors__: The body of elected community residents which governs the Multi-Service Center.  (85) 
 + 
 +__Subcommittee__: Committees formed of community residents which govern specific services; for example, a health subcommitte which governs the health service.  (81) (153) 
 + 
 +__Core Services__: Staff hired by, and responsible to the Board of Directors, whose function it is to keep the Multi-Service Center running -- specifically to perform outreach, intake, to refer people to proper services, to evaluate existing services and initiate new ones.  (137)  [p. 3]
