The tribes’ Complete
Count Committee—We
Count War m Springs—had
many activities planned for
the 2020 U.S. Census.
Most of these events cen-
tered around group gather-
ings. Now, with the Covid-
19 restrictions, the gatherings
are not going to happen at
least for a while.
“Most important is
our safety, and we must con-
tinue to practice social dis-
tancing,” said Caroline Cruz,
general manager of Health
and Human Services, and
chair of the Warm Springs
Complete Count Committee.
Despite these circum-
stances, “We still count, and
we still need to be counted,”
Ms. Cruz said. “We now need
to become creative and move
forward, and we need your
be giving out prizes, gift
cards, food baskets,
small appliances and a vari-
ety of fun items.
How can you participate?
You need to do your cen-
sus: “In order to enter the
drawing we will be giving out
raffle tickets once you com-
plete your census,” Cruz
said.
Some of you already
have done your census, and
you are also eligible to enter
for prizes. Staff is currently
working on logistics; so lis-
ten to KWSO 91.9 for fur-
ther details in the upcoming
weeks.
