ACC Celebrates 50 Years! In 1970, a group of citizens gathered together to create a place where they could socialize and connect. They were so excited about the prospect they set the age at 50 so they could all join! A student intern from our Parks and Recreation Department was tasked with working with these citizens, the City Finance Director wrote a grant and a home in First Addition was purchased to serve as the first Center. Fast forward 50 years and the ACC is the only nationally accredited center in Oregon, has received national awards and remains the vibrant, welcoming place the founders envisioned.
