This is a reminder of the importance of completing and mailing in the 2010 U.S. Census form that you received in the mail in March. The 2010 Census provides information that each community relies on to obtain their share of more than $400 billion in federal and state funding distributed each year for health assistance, services for older adults, employment services, schools and more. A low return rate in Massachusetts could also result in the loss of Congressional seats. Starting May 1, Census workers will be going door to door to households from which a return has not been received - each contact required adds to the cost of conducting the Census. So please send in your census form and encourage others to do so as well.
