Your Last Chance for the Next 10 Years
South Kensington Community Partners
If you regularly open this email, hopefully your household has already completed the Census. And maybe you are a little tired of reading about it week after week? Or maybe enumerators have come to your door repeatedly. During dinner. The good news then is that these pleas will end soon, once the Final Deadline of OCTOBER 31st is reached. The bad news is that, as of this week, less than 54% of households in many parts of Old/South Kensington have responded. This response is nearly 10% lower than 2010 numbers. The result will be less funding and less representation for our neighborhood and our city at a really critical time in history. So please complete your census and consider taking the time to make sure your friends and neighbors have done the same. Especially if you live in an apartment or condo building where enumerators have not been able to knock on doors.
