A LETTER FROM THE CHAIR   Jan. 2010 HAPPY NEW YEAR! HWNT had an interesting 2009 with some good and some bad events.   We lost our Chair Elect, Barbie Hernandez, in early December 2009 after a brief but valiant battle with Leukemia. We will all miss her and acknowledge her long dedication to HWNT. We send our deepest sympathy to her family and will post the information for a memorial account set up by her family. Other members of our organization have had illness and death in their families and we want to include them in our thoughts and prayers.  We have created a position for an Executive Director on a part time basis. We are growing so fast and so much is happening that we are in need of the services of an Executive Director to help our organization. read more   2010 EVENT CALENDAR AT A GLANCE007     For other events, please visit our statewide calendar HWNT & CENSUS 2010   HWNT chapters will support the 2010 U.S. Census which will take place nationally starting April 1, 2010 and will count everyone living in the U.S. According to the U.S. Census, the confidential survey is required by law, is taken every 10 years and is crucial to how decisions are made in the government including the distribution of Congressional seats as well as the allocation of $300 billion in federal funds to communities each year. Texas is part of the Dallas region which also includes Louisiana and Mississippi, the Gulf Coast area and the majority of the U.S.-Mexico border.
