Cincinnati

From our City of Cincinnati Census Complete Count Committee Representative:

The Census Bureau is in the midst of preparing for 2010 U.S. Census and recruitment for census takers is already underway. As part of Mayor Mallory's Complete Count Committee Program, LULAC-Cincinnati is an important partner in the initiative to make certain Latinos are accurately represented in the Cincinnati count. One way to assure that Latino residents are counted is to have a good representation of Latino census takers and other workers.

Por segundo año consecutivo, el Colegio Immaculate Heart of Mary en Anderson Township celebrará la Fiesta de los Reyes.  Este evento se realiza con el objeto de emular el acto de amor, servicio y benevolencia que desplegaron los santos Reyes al traer  obsequios al Niño Jesús.

Durante la Fiesta de los Reyes se recaudaran regalos que se entregaran a los niños pobres, en especial niños de familias emigrantes  del área metropolitana de Cincinnati. 

La Fiesta de los Reyes es la mejor oportunidad de mostrar una tradición que se celebra en los países hispano parlantes y degustar un rico menú latinoamericano arroz con pollo, habichuelas rojas y flan o tres leches.

Dear Community Leaders,

Many of you helped in the effort to encourage Latino participation during the first round of "Conversations on Education" hosted by Governor Strickland.

The next round of meetings will be hosted in six locations around the state to discuss school funding. The purpose is to garner feedback on Ohio's school funding system before the governor introduces his education reform and school funding proposal in 2009. [See full press release below].
