The 2010 Complete Count Committee will be hosting a March to the Mailbox event, Saturday, April 10th from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. at various locations throughout the city.

“The purpose of this event is to encourage folk who have not yet handed in their census form to do so” advised Claire Burroughes, Legislative & Community Development Director, Wednesday, “Getting an accurate count really helps our area agencies in obtaining funding for those who need it most."

United States Postal workers will be at the locations to receive completed forms and 2010 census t-shirts will be given to residents bringing their completed forms to these sites.
