for the census which can be viewed at <a href="http://www.okletscount.org"><span style="color:black">okletscount.org</span></a>. For our Main Street partners, we will order window clings, table tents, rack cards and posters, and all you have to do is let
me know how many of each item you want. The Main Street staff will bring the items to you as we travel around the state, or ODOC will mail them. Please let me know soon.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
