It's in Our Hands

Plans for the February membership meeting on the 2010 Census are continuing on track. We are joining with the National League to encourage full participation in the Census. We hope that those who attend the forum will carry Census information back to other community groups to help raise awareness in our area.

Phillip Smith-Hanes, our County Administrative Officer, will be one of the featured speakers. He will describe the importance of full Census participation and tell us how
the Census data benefits local governments. Elaine Dempsey, the local Census Program Specialist, will share information about how the Census will take place locally.
Linda Clark will be coming from the Census regional office in Seattle to speak about the importance of the Census and how the data is used.

There will be an opportunity to ask questions of these experts. Join us from 6-8 P.M. on Thursday, February 25 at The First Congregational Church, 900 Hodgson Street in Eureka. Invite your family, friends, and neighbors and encourage them to be counted!
