C4C Events
Seniors make up nearly 40 percent of Sisters Country residents. What do they need to truly age in place? Join C4C, The Nugget, and Age-Friendly Sisters Country for an action-oriented community conversation exploring how we can work together to better serve older adults in our community.
On February 17, community members are invited to attend the SOS/C4C Senior Resource Fair, featuring 20+ organizations offering support for seniors in Sisters Country. This is a chance to learn what local resources are currently available for seniors and connect directly with providers helping seniors live safely, independently, and with dignity.
Join C4C and The Nugget for our fall 2025 Community Forum – a retrospective on the recent Flat Fire and our community’s broader resilience efforts. With a panel featuring community members and officials who were on the front lines, we’ll reflect on challenges faced, lessons learned, the state of recovery, and the work still ahead.
Join C4C, The Nugget, Rotary Club of Sisters, and Sisters Kiwanis for the second of our two spring Community Forums on “Wildfire in Sisters Country.” Part 2 of this free, public, in-person + online series will examine the state of the insurance industry and how it is impacting community livelihoods and resilience.
Join C4C, The Nugget, Rotary Club of Sisters, and Sisters Kiwanis for a two-part discussion series covering one of Sisters Country’s greatest threats – wildfire. We’ll examine our state of preparedness for wildfire threats – as individuals, neighborhoods, agencies, and a collective community. Our accompanying Preparedness Fair will help you leave with concrete actions you can take to be more prepared for fire season 2025 and beyond.
Join C4C for the next event in our bi-annual series of Community Forums – Are the Kids Alright? Youth Wellbeing in Sisters Country. Produced in partnership with The Nugget, this free public event will examine the lived experiences, strengths, challenges, and needs of local youth, with a focus on ways that the broader community can support our youngest residents.
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.

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.
