The Coalition’s Quarterly Gatherings are held each April, July, and October in the main meeting room of the Corvallis-Benton County Public Library. The fourth gathering at the library is our Annual Meeting, held in January (see above).
During each 90-minute Quarterly Gathering, there are brief presentations made by three partner organizations and one Coalition action team that have been invited to share through slides and narrative what they are doing to help create a sustainable community. Each presentation is followed by audience questions.
A highlight of the Quarterly Gatherings is a buffet of delicious snacks provided by First Alternative Natural Foods Co-op.
