Citizens4Community invites you to participate in our monthly "Let's Talk" small-format discussion series. In December we'll be looking at the topic of Affordable Housing in Sisters, where we will be joined by Patrick Davenport, Community Development Director for the City of Sisters, who can help give us insight about past and current local affordable housing efforts as well as future plans. The discussion will be co-moderated by professional facilitators Chris Laing and Terry Buchholz. Stephen King will lead the Let’s Talk warm-up session.

Let’s Sing!/The Low Bar Chorale is all about high energy and low commitment. It’s a drop-in singing event focused on: having fun, de-stressing and connecting to others through music.

You are specially invited to join the fun! ...

C4C’s “Let’s Talk, Sisters” small-format discussion series was in October wrapped into the larger, Community-Wide Conversation on Freedom of Speech. But in November, Let’s Talk will be back to its normal time and place—the 3rd Monday (Nov. 18) of each month at Paulina Springs Books. The topic will focus on recreational gun use on public lands.

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, Sisters Country, as we again celebrate our friendships, families and neighbors and the unique beat of our community. The second annual Rhythm & Song in the Park runs 5:30-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 17 in Sister’s Village Green Park.

The FREE evening of musical entertainment and fun begins at 5:30 p.m. with an all-community BBQ picnic dinner [it’s free, too]. Bring just yourself, or bring your entire family, your friends and your neighbors [along with your lawn chair(s)].

Citizens4Community invites you to participate in our monthly "Let's Talk" discussion series. In July we'll be looking at the topic of the importance of local media in small town communities.

[If you spend time working across agencies or working with others on school, local government, nonprofit, business, church or other projects, this comprehensive day of learning and skill-building is for you.]

Responding to a group’s or community’s goals and needs means working together. How well we collaborate can make or break our success. Effective collaboration pulls us out of silos, reduces turnover and increases communication and productivity. The benefits are huge.

If you’ve ever been asked to run a meeting and felt uncomfortable leading a large or diverse group of people…Or, if you’ve ever hesitated to spearhead a project because it may involve some disagreement…Or, if you just want to get better at helping others find solutions and consensus…

…Then, this special session is perfect for you.

Professional facilitator Terry Buchholz has graciously partnered with C4C to help area residents build their practical facilitation skills. This Jan. 30 evening workshop will offer attendees valuable advice and tips.
