US Census Community Session Noon-3 pm
Stephens Library Lobby
Register: Call us at 325-703-5200
Focus will include a brief history of the first Census during the days of the early World Kingdoms. Come and learn what happens to the $675 Billion dollars reserved each year for nation wide distribution over the next 10 years, and what happens when we don't get an accurate count. Learn which services are impacted by the census count, i.e., medicaid, day care centers, schools, the Pell grants and more! You might be surprised to know all of the services you currently enjoy that are guided by Census results.
