Rockwall Breakfast Rotary hears update on U.S. 2020 Census

The Rockwall Breakfast Rotary was glad to host Tenishea Turner as their speaker December 17. Tenishea is a representative of the U.S. Census Bureau as a Partnership Specialist for the 2020 Census. The U.S. Census will be taken this year, beginning March 23 with the ability to self-respond. The official Census Day is April 1.

Tenishea explained the reasons behind the Census. First, it is mandated by the United States Constitution to be conducted every 10 years. And it is all about the distribution of $675 Billion in Federal funds, grants and support to states, counties and communities. That money is spent on schools, hospitals, roads, public works and other vital programs, all based on the Census data.

More information is available at www.2020census.gov. If you would like to contact Tenishea to speak top your group, you can reach her at Tenishea.turner@2020census.gov.
