Wai`anae US Census Office Manager Kathleen Popa introducing some members of her team on 1-8-10. [Click on the photo for a larger view.]

It is critically important for Wai`anae residents to participate in the constitutionally mandated US Census in 2010. Our participation determines, among other things, the amount of federal dollars we receive, which translates to everything from teachers' salaries to highway improvements. The Wai`anae Coast's participation was a dismal 10% in the past. We must do better! Also, jobs ranging from $12.50/hr to $17/hr at the US Census' new office at Waianae Mall are now available. For more information, contact:

Here are excerpts of an email to Maile from Ms. Popa regarding the event on 1/8/10:

Representative Shimabukuro,

Humbly request your presence at our official opening of the Local Census Office here in Waianae on Friday, January 8th, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. It will be a short but powerful message conveyed to the community on the importance of receiving and returning the 2010Census Questionnaire. The 30-minute program will consist of the Waianae ROTC drill team, some of the local entertainers, a tour around the office and light refreshments.

I can be reached Monday - Friday between the hours of 8:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. I look forward to your response...
