Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from 'community' (a local group of people) combined with 'bulletin' (a brief notice or report), yielding a notice or publication for local announcements. This straightforward noun-noun composition follows regular English compounding patterns and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Community bulletin comes from the simple picture of a notice board where people in a neighborhood pin up messages. A bulletin is a short public notice and community means the local people, so the phrase means 'a place or paper for local events and announcements'.
