Namaste everyone,

The US Census Bureau will be conducting its 2010 census next year - to get a complete and accurate count of all USA residents, both citizens

and non-citizens alike. We are partnering with the US Census Bureau to help increase participation and delivery of the 2010 Census message.

The partnership involves collaborations and outreaches with local organizations to promote information sharing on completing and 

returning the census questionnaire which will be mailed out next March to every household in the US. According to the 2000 census, there are

only about 11,000 Nepalis (born in Nepal) in the US; we believe there are at least three times as many in New York alone and more than ten

times as many in the entire country. Here is our opportunity to get counted, and have our voices heard.

As community leaders and individuals interested in the well-being of the Nepali community, we would like to invite you to be part of the

first Nepali Complete Count Committee. Please join us on Sunday, Nov 8th, from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm for the meeting of the first Nepali

Complete Count Committee.  The venue for the meeting is Adhikaar Office, 39-06 62nd Street, Office BL, Woodside, NY 11377.  Other

meetings will follow in the coming weeks.

Come help us make sure Nepalis count!

Please let us know if you are attending. Also, if you are interested but cannot make it to the meeting on Sunday, please fill out the form

by clicking the link below, and we will keep you posted.
