The Census figures for Charles Mix County have improved since the article that the Wave printed on June 17th. As of Friday the 26th, Charles Mix County now shows that 40% of residents have completed the census. Lake Andes has had a major improvement from 9.3% to 27%. This is great, but we still have a long way to go. Ask your friends if they have completed the census. If you have completed your census, tell others how easy it was to complete. Remember the library is having a raffle for an I-pad for those completing the census. A computer is set aside for those wanting to complete the census on-line. It takes about 10 minutes to complete.
