The 2010 U.S. Census has begun. The census is a count of everyone residing in the United States. All U.S. residents must be counted – both citizens and non-citizens. The U.S. Constitution requires a national census once every 10 years to count the population and determine the number of seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives. The census also helps determine the amount of federal dollars that will be allotted to each state for education, health, welfare, infrastructure and more. That is $ 400 billion each year.
It is most important that each household fill out its census questionnaire. So this month, when your questionnaire arrives in the mail, please be sure to fill it out and return it.

The Child Care Center (CCC) invites all our families to come Saturday December 5th from 9:30am to 2:30pm for "Color and Light," a gallery exhibition of fine glass sculpture from six local artists in the newly renovated Sanctuary of Riviera Presbyterian Church.
As part of this event the CCC will have an art sale / silent auction as part of this event so we are asking for donations of art and artsy gifts that could be sold to raise funds for the Center. We need sculpture, framed or unframed paintings, and art photos in either a matte or a frame and in good or new condition.
PLEASE drop off your donations at the CCC director's office by the Wednesday before Thanksgiving (11/25). If there's a reserve amount (minimum bid we should set) please be sure your name and that amount are clearly affixed on the back, so we can return it if unsold.
Whether you donate or not, PLEASE COME to the "Color and Light" event on Saturday morning December 5th to meet and support local artists. Details will be at http://www.rivierachurch.org.
The board of directors has two openings to fill as soon as possible. The first is one of three "church member" positions and the other is the "community representative" position. If interested pick up a pink form in the school office and leave it there (and please E-mail robertson.adams@gmail.com to let me know you did!)
