The Jordan Area Community Council (JACC) will host its 40th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, September 18th in Jordan Park from 12pm-5pm. Formed 40 years ago, JACC is the nonprofit, citizen participation organization for North Minneapolisâ Jordan neighborhood. Its mission is to âorganize people, knowledge and capital for the collective empowerment of Jordan residents. â One of the cityâs first community organizations, JACC began in 1964, as local PTA members joined to prevent closure of the public libraryâs North Branch. That struggle â which resulted in a new North Library opening in 1970 -- established JACC firmly as a grassroots effort, based on the belief that residents could solve problems through collective action, thereby empowering themselves. The event will celebrate 40 years of community service to the Jordan Neighborhood, and will feature kids activities, the Minneapolis Public Libraryâs bookmobile, live music, food, games, clowns, McGruff, face painting, and a host of community businesses and organizations. The event promises to be one to remember. The celebration will go from 12-5pm. Jordan Park is located between 29th and 30th Avenues N From James to Irving Avenues N.
