C4C Events
C4C’s bi-annual Community Forum returns on May 5th. Who Gets To Live Here? will dig into our local housing crisis and ask, “What will it take to make housing in Sisters Country affordable for all?” Co-sponsored by The Nugget.
C4C is proud to announce the next event in our bi-annual series of community forums. Co-sponsored by The Nugget newspaper, this FREE, public event will shine a light on the "epidemic of loneliness and isolation" in America, with a focus on how this crisis is impacting the Sisters Country community and citizens.
Join us on Thursday, Oct. 24 for a lively and informative panel presentation and group discussion about the significance of freedom of speech in a democratic society. This Sisters Country Community Conversation is presented by Citizens4Community and The Nugget Newspaper. Special thanks to our sponsors: The Lodge in Sisters, Paulina Springs Books, The Ford Family Foundation and St. Charles Health System for supporting this all-community event. Seats are limited, so be sure to arrive early. There is a $5 suggested donation, and free pocket Constitutions and refreshments will be offered to attendees.
Join us in April as C4C and several valued partners—including local senior advocates—explore what it takes to create an "Age-Friendly Community" in Sisters Country.
This Spring 2018 Community Conversation will begin with a FREE Soup & Civility community dinner from 4:30-5:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 25 in the Community Room at Sisters Camp Sherman Fire Hall, 301 S. Elm St., in Sisters.
You're invited to consider the values and visioning questions above; then, make sure to take part in a unique, upcoming activity—the 2018 Sisters Country Values & Vision Community Quilt project.
According to census figures, about 40 percent of Sisters households have people in them who are age 60 or older. So, it's not surprising that when local octogenarian Joan Power expressed her concern recently about the lack of coordinated services for seniors in Sisters, her words resonated. Power suggested a meeting to identify existing and needed resources for older residents. From that initial work the Senior Alliance of Sisters has emerged.
Join Citizens4Community on April 20 as our next, free quarterly event focuses on: "What does Civility mean to you, to Sisters Country, and to the vitality of our community?"
The informative event will begin at 5:15 p.m. at the Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire Station Community Hall, 301 S. Elm St., in Sisters.
This Spring Quarter session dovetails with a discussion begun in January during C4C's Winter Quarter event. Many participants said they wanted to hear more strategies for keeping meetings, public events or other gatherings from devolving into unproductive territory when disruptive behavior, disagreements or other challenges arise.
