Importance of the 2010 Census

I am a horrible procrastinator. I received my Census in the mail last week and it’s still sitting on my kitchen counter in the “unread” pile.

Yes, I will get to it… hopefully, before someone comes knocking on my door.

I found out today why it’s so important that you take ten minutes and mail it back.

The number of U.S. House of Representatives seats per state are determined by the Census. It also helps allocate federals finds for schools, hospital, bridges and more.

The Census helps account for every person in the US and is constitutionally required to take place every 10 years. It even comes with a stamped envelope for easy return!

Visit the 2010 Census website to get more information. This great commercial also helps explain it all!

beadsLooking for a fun way to celebrate Fat Tuesday New Orlean’s style? Papa Mojos is inviting the Triangle to come have some Mardi Gras fun from 5:30-9:30pm tonight.

They’ll have two party rooms, two bands, tantalizing Bayou food and a Shrimp Boil on top! Guests are encouraged to meander from one room to the other as they eat, drink and enjoy some Mardi Gras mania. Also, don’t forget your mask (you could win a prize!) According to their website “this is the the real deal – as “down-home” a Mardi Gras party as you’ll find without hopping on a plane!!”

Sounds like a great time and good opportunity for some beads! What are your Mardi Gras plans?
