CENSUS DAY STARTED APRIL 1, 2020 MAKE SURE YOU ARE COUNTED

April 1, 2020 started Census Day.  If you have received your Census package, please fill out either online or mail the form back to the Census so that you will be counted.  So far 63.8% have responded as of June 3, 2020, here in Maroa.  Let's get that to 100%!  If you have not received the package, you may follow this link to be counted.  Please do not ignore this.  It is important that everyone living in Maroa be counted.  Completing the Census helps the schools get funding, and it will help the City get funding.  The more funding received, the less the burden is on the home owner, through taxes.  Thank you in advance for your help!  https://2020census.gov/

Remember that there is to be no cell phone usage is a school zone, it is the law.  Watch for kids crossing the street and remember that you are to stop for school buses that have their red flashers on and are loading or unloading.  Just put your phone down while you are in your car.  That text can wait, the life you save may be your own or your loved one.  No text is that important.

The Maroa Forsyth Christmas Baskets would like to “Thank” all of the volunteers that helped our program this year.  Without your help, it would be very difficult for us to achieve all that we are able to provide for our families.  Whether it be from the food drive, to cash donations, toy drive, helping get boxes ready before delivery day and helping on delivery day, the effort shows that our communities reflect compassion and unselfish caring.  The families are very THANKFUL for all they receive.

Thank you,

Barb Hastings
