Welcome to City Club of Central Oregon
Our mission is “to build a conscious and civic minded community through dialog, education and research that results in responsible civic engagement.”
MONTHLY FORUMS
City Club had previously announced that our September forum would be back in person at the Riverhouse. However, the recent COVID-19 pandemic mandate has caused us all to make difficult choices. Many organizations are canceling/postponing events and the trend appears to be more of the same. Chances are you’ve had an in-person event cancel recently. We have.
In the abundance of caution and for the wellbeing of our community, we will not be proceeding with the in-person portion of the September forum. It was a difficult decision to make but we know it is the right one for the health and safety of our volunteers, guests and the greater Central Oregon community. We look forward to the time we can meet again in person and hold physical space for conversations significant to our region.

Peter Grube, partner, Dream Home Building and Design“Let me tell you a little something about us [City Club]. We don’t agree on everything. We disagree on everything and that is our strength. The one thing we do agree on is civility and we agree on having the conversation and keeping the conversation going.”
Bill Buchanan, partner, Buchanan Schmid, llc“What is most important to me about City Club is that not everyone agrees on issues. Their role, their goal is to bring people together and have the conversation and problem solve.”
