The goal is to have every household fill out and mail back the completed census form. Participation is vital to all our municipalities as the results determine how more than $400 billion in Federal funds are allocated annually to state and local governments.<br /><br />While most residents are aware of the Census, many are not familiar with the timing or the process. The 2010 Census is fast approaching, and one way to ensure that everyone is counted is to establish a Complete Count Committee (CCC) in every town. ]]></description><link>http://www.wtmorris.org/news/administration/census/2010census.html</link><author>webmaster@wtmorris.net</author><category>Community</category></item><item><title>WT Shade Tree Proper Tree Planting Practices</title><pubDate>Fri, 05 Mar 2010 12:26:38 -0400</pubDate><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.wtmorris.org/news/shadetree/images/icon_tree.jpg" alt="Icon" width="60" height="60" hspace="5" vspace="5" border="0" align="left">The Washington Township Shade Tree Committee invites the public to attend a PowerPoint presentation about "Proper Tree Planting Practices.” The discussion topics will be: planting, mulch volcanoes, root collars and root collar excavations. <br /><br />Chairman of the Shade Tree Commission, Steve Zaikowski N.J.
