Chairman's Corner

February 2010

I would like to reiterate what I said at our Annual Christmas Party, about the 2010 U.S. Census. Census information affects the number of seats your state occupies in the U.S. House of Representatives. People from many walks of life use census data to advocate for causes, rescue disaster victims, prevent diseases, research markets, and locate pools of skilled workers and more. When you do the math, it's easy to see what an accurate count of residents can do for your community. Better infrastructure, more services, a brighter tomorrow for everyone.

In March of 2010 census forms will be delivered to every residence in the United States and Puerto Rico. When you receive yours, just answer the ten short questions and then mail the form back in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you don't mail the form back, you may receive a visit from a census taker, from May to July who will ask you the questions from the form. If you know individuals who winter in other states, please have them wait until they get back to their main residence to fill it our so that the data is counted here in Michigan.

Don't forget our chicken dinner at the Kawkalin Township Hall, Sunday, March 7, 2010. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door.

Our next fundraiser event will be the Annual Spring Fling on Friday, May 7, 2010 at the Bay City Double Tree Hotel.

See you at our next meeting at the American Legion Post 18, on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at 7p.m.

January 2010

First of all I would like to wish all a Happy New Year. We face another year of dramatic, social, and economic challenges in 2010. This year we will be very busy since this is an election year. I am receiving many offers from different candidates to speak at our monthly meetings.

Please mark your calendars for our first event of the New Year, which is the Membership Chicken Dinner on Sunday, March 7, 2010, at the Kawkawlin Township Hall, 1800 Parish Road, Kawkawlin. The second event is our annual Spring Fling to be held on Friday, May 7, 2010, at the Double Tree Hotel.

I am glad another hurdle has been cleared for the new coal plant to be built. Reminder that the Party went on record as support of this project.

Our next meeting will be January 26, 2010, at the American Legion Post 18.

Hope to see you there!
