First, I want to congratulate you on a great website! I was excited when I found it as I was looking for information on an old school in Allen County - Diller School.
I don't think you know me. I lived in Pandora for 11 years on the family homestead. We bought the farm on which my mother was born from my Uncle Clifton Neuenschwander. It's located on Road R between Road 3 and Road 4.

By now many citizens have received their census form. As you can see, it is much shorter than before. Only 10 questions! The questions don't ask about income or citizenship. They just want to know how many people live in your home, name, gender, and race.
It's simple and it's easy. The sooner you fill it out and return it, the easier it is for you. It won't get lost and you won't get a home visit.

In 2010, the U.S. Census will define who we are as a nation. Taken every 10 years, the census affects political representation and directs the allocation of billions of dollars in government funding.
Faith based organizations are dedicated to serving the best interest of the community. Many community members look to their faith based leaders as trusted sources of information.
Just a comment about cleaning the Little Riley Creek or any other flood control measures. Water has no problem getting into town or through town. The problem is getting water out of town. The bridge on Bentley Road north of town is not capable of allowing water out of town.
The bridge was not constructed properly to let a 50-year flood out of town much less a 100-year flood.
If you notice, water has to go north of the bridge to cross the Bentley. I was told by the regional planning commissioner water should go over the bridge.
Completing the 2010 Census Questionnaire: Simple and Safe. The 2010 Census questionnaire ask only a few simple questions of each person- name, relationship, gender, age and date of birth, race and whether the respondent owns or rents his or her home.
This simple, short questionnaire takes just a few minutes to complete and return by mail. The Census Bureau does not release or share information that identifies individual respondents or their household.
