Future 50 community vision tables
What do you want to see in your community in 50 years? What are your dreams for the future?
As part of the Future 50 project, Metro is holding conversations with communities to develop aspirations for 2077 that will guide the direction of our region. We want to hear from you!
Join a community visioning table this fall to share your hopes for the future.
- Connect with other community members to help create regional aspirations for the future.
- Learn about Metro’s Future 50 project and what other community members and regional leaders are saying.
- Learn about the shared regional values that will guide the development of the vision.
Registration is required. Bring your ideas, perspective and creativity. Refreshments are provided. These events are open to members of the public who live, work, go to school or spend time in the greater Portland region—including urban and rural Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties.
Council Chat at Rosauers Cafe
Councilmembers Lee Wells and Clyde Burkle host the final Council Chat of the fall, with complimentary pastries. The early-bird option for anyone who would rather talk local government before work than on a weekend.

Featuring special guest Gary Hershberger (Mike Nelson) in person!
Joins us for the complete Twin Peaks series on the big screen for the first time in history! We continue our year-long celebration of the greatest TV show of all time The Missing Pieces. Rarely shown in theaters, this feature film presents deleted scenes from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me assembled together as an untold portion of the story’s prequel. Following a Q&A, we’ll then begin The Return with episodes “My Log Has a Message for You” and “The Stars Turn and a Time Presents Itself.”
Gary Hershberger will be signing autographs and taking photos with fans for an additional fee at the event.
