March
to the Mailbox And Final Blitz For Mailing Back Census
Forms
Dear
2010 Census Partners:
Did residents
of your community March to the Mailbox Today? Today
marks the one-week countdown for people to mail
back their 2010 Census forms. Households that send
in their forms after Friday, April 16 , may
still get visited by census workers when they
begin going door-to-door to obtain census
information in May.
To learn more, please join our teleconference with
Director Robert Groves at 11:30 am EDT on
Wednesday, April 14. The conference number is
1-800-593-0695 (participant passcode: 2010
Census). Please dial in early to allow time for
the operator to place you in the call. There is no
need to RSVP.
Here’s how you can help urge people to act in
time and understand what happens if they delay:
Promote
the benefits of mailing back forms in
your daily membership and external
communications. On each day of the countdown,
we will highlight on our 2010 Census Web site
a key benefit to communities for participating
in the 2010 Census.
The
Census Bureau is training more than 600,000
temporary workers and identifying households
around the country that will be visited by
census workers from May to July. Although
households are encouraged to mail back their
forms as soon as possible, there is a chance
they may still receive a visit from a census
worker despite having sent in their forms.
Remember,
There's Only 7 Days Left To Mail Your Form Back!
And,
thanks again for your support of the 2010
Census.
