The census is a massive effort to count every person living in the United States. The results of the census provide data that will be used as the basis for the apportionment of the members of the US House of Representatives among the states, and government funds are distributed based on census data. The key to a successful census is having every household fill out and mail back a completed census form. The 2010 Census will have one of the shortest census questionnaires in the history of census taking in the US and should only take about 10 minutes on average to complete. When you receive your questionnaire, please take a few minutes to fill it out and put it back in the mail. Making Sun City Shadow Hills A Pleasant Place To Live At the September 14 Board meeting, the Board reviewed the four rules that were out for a 30-day comment period. The “Kiln Rules” and the “Kitchen Rules” were approved by the Board. The “On-Street Parking Rules” and the “Fitness Rules” were denied with requests of staff to make changes and re-submit to the Board for review. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Association, please call the Association office at (760) 345-4349. The staff is looking forward to helping you. Boo!
