Join local volunteers and organizational leaders for C4C’s monthly “Community Builders” meeting. These gatherings are designed to help you:

  • Connect with fellow change makers in Sisters;

  • Share current individual or organizational priorities, needs, and opportunities;

  • Discuss timely local topics and community challenges; and

  • Explore opportunities for collaboration and problem solving.

This October, we’ll travel outside city limits to some of Sisters Country’s most notable historic sites. First, we’ll meet at Deschutes Land Trust’s Camp Polk Meadow Preserve – a place that has been a crossroads for people for thousands of years. Then we’ll walk a few steps down the road to hear from the Camp Polk Pioneer Cemetery Preservation Committee, and view the final resting place for some of Sisters’ first European settlers. At each location, we’ll learn about the organizations and volunteers working to protect and steward these cultural resources.

IMPORTANT LOGISTICS:

  • Parking is extremely limited at these sites. Please plan to meet at The Hub at 9:45 AM and carpool with fellow Community Builders out to the meeting location.

  • For those driving, type “Camp Polk Meadow Preserve” into your preferred map app, or follow these driving directions.

  • There is no seating and limited shade at these sites. Please bring your own chair and protective clothing.

Due to their dynamic nature, our Community Builders meetings are in-person only and not live-streamed online. Meeting notes are published to our blog shortly after each gathering.
