"Celebration in the Park" at Neff Park in La Mirada, California will be on Saturday, October 3, 2009 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. We will be facepainting, selling artwork and distributing information and special gift items to the public to remind them of the importance of participating in the 2010 Census. We expect that by becoming a supporting partner, we can help to achieve a complete and accurate census.

Every year, more than $300 billion in federal funds are awarded to states and communities based on census data. Census data guide local decision makers in important community planning efforts, including where to build new roads, hospitals and schools. Census data affect your voice in Congress. The census determines how many seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives as well as the redistricting of state legislatures, county and city councils and voting districts.

The Arts Colony of La Mirada is a community-minded organization.
