After coming across news of Johnny Dupree’s visit to West Jackson, we figured we’d add some additional options too! Yep, you are officially busy on Thursday evening. Enjoy!

Precinct 2 COPS meeting, 6 p.m.

No, this isn’t a meeting for cops by cops; nor is it the resurrection of the COPS television show (First 48 has that market taken care of). COPS stands for Community Oriented Policing Strategies and its purpose is to generate monthly dialog between the residents and officers of Precinct 2.

This month’s meeting will be Thursday (tomorrow), June 9 at 6:00 p.m. Meetings are held in the former Atmos Energy offices at 711 W. Capitol Street.

Jackson 2000 Spring Social, 5:30 p.m.

When it comes to race relations, Mississippi has come a loooonng way! Groups such as Jackson 2000 hope to further progress positive race relations in this state starting with the capital city.

Jackson 2000, a non profit civic organization, will host its Spring Social at Koinonia Coffee House on Thursday (tomorrow), June 9th at 5:30 p.m.

This is your opportunity to learn more about Jackson 2000’s efforts to promote racial harmony and facilitate racial understanding in the metro area.

This is a FREE event and will feature free food/drinks and live jazz by Jazz Beautiful featuring Pam Confer.

Also, make sure to check out the group’s photos from last year’s social. It was a beautifully diverse crowd.
