The Brooklyn Center Special Events Committee is a non-profit corporation and incorporated with the State of Minnesota in January 2000. This formal structure was the result of the work of the Brooklyn Center Year 2000 Celebration - Steering Committee which was organized in October of 1998 to bring together the civic organizations, the business community, interested citizens, the City and area school districts to see if there was interest in the celebration of the New Millennium. |
