International Children’s Day was celebrated on Sunday, April 25th at Owen Elementary School in Naperville, IL with the performance of six children’s dance groups representing their ethnic cultures. State Representative Paul Froehlich and Turkish Vice Consuls Azize Sargin and Aylin Karaman also attended the event. The following dance groups performed their ethnic and folkloric dances in traditional costumes: Punjabi Cultural Society of Chicago, The Chicago Okinawa Kenjinkai, Mexican Folk Dance Company of Chicago, Polanie Dancers of the John Paul II Polish School in Lemont and Romeoville, ARCC Ballet & Dance and Turkish American Cultural Alliance Youth Folk Dancers. The dance groups represented India, Japan, Mexico, Poland, USA and Turkey respectively. More than 200 parents and kids gathered to enjoy this event. In addition to watching the performances by other children, kids enjoyed other activities such as a magician performance, face painting and animal balloon making. Children representing Japan demonstrated how to do origami. Furthermore, the teachers and leaders of the guest performers commented that it was thrilling for the kids to be a part of an international event of this magnitude. They were really excited to see other children’s costumes and performances. Children's Day originated from the first gathering of the Grand National Assembly on April 23rd, 1920. Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey, gifted April 23rd to the children of the country, so that they would cherish their independence that had cost the nation so much, but at the same time walk the path of "Peace at Home, Peace in the World." The Turkish American Cultural Alliance has been bringing this celebration to Chicago in the same spirit, to share the Children’s Day joy with children of all backgrounds, allowing them to learn and appreciate different cultures, experience a fun event with family and friends, showcase their talents and make new friends.

SAY "TURK": Census 2010 Starting this March 2010, every American household will receive a 2010 Census Form in the mail. The Census Form will be due in May. As the Census is required by law, from June through August 2010 the Federal government will send officials to all households which have not submitted an application in order to ensure compliance. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, ATAA will spearhead a national campaign to count people of Turkish and Turkic heritage throughout America. ATAA will guide over 500,000 Turkish and Turkic Americans to complete and submit the Census 2010 Form by writing "Turk" in the "Other" box on the Census 2010 form. Depending on the results of Census 2010, over $400B in federal funding will be available to state and local projects, including diversity programs. In addition, depending on the enumeration of Turks, the Census Bureau may decide to include a "Turkish" box in the 2020 Census. ATAA is commissioning "Turkic" experts to prepare a report for consideration by the US Census Bureau for the 2020 Census form. For details and instructions visit www.ataa.org KENDİNİ SAYDIR, “TÜRK”ÜM DE: Census 2010 Mart 2010 tarihinden itibaren Amerika'daki her aileye, 2010 Nüfus Sayım formu gönderilecektir. Nüfus sayımı yasa gereğince olduğundan, tutarlılığı garantilemek amacıyla federal devlet, Haziran'dan Agustos 2010 tarihine kadar form göndermeyen tüm hanelere yetkililer gönderecektir. Ortaklık anlaşması uyarınca ATAA, Türk ve Türk asıllı vatandaşların sayıma katılması için ulusal bir kampanyaya öncülük edecek. Bu kampanya çerçevesinde; sayıları 500 binin üzerinde olan Türk ve Türk asıllı vatandaşlarımızı 2010 Nüfus formunda yer alan "diğer" seçeneği kutusunu işaretleme ve yanına "Türk" kelimesini yazma konusunda yönlendirecek. Ülke çapındaki tüm yerel temsilciliklerinde nüfus sayımı ile ilgili seminerler düzenleyecek, Amerikan Nüfus Sayım Bürosu'nun iş istihdamına yardımcı olacak, bunun yanı sıra formun resmi Türkçe tercümesini sağlayacak. 2010 Nüfus Sayımı sonuçlarına dayanarak, çeşitlilik programları dahil olmak üzere, eyalet ve yerel projeler için $400 milyon dolar üzerinde federal fon sağlanacaktır. Bunun yanı sıra; Türkler'in sahip olduğu nüfus rakamına göre, Nüfus Bürosu, 2020 Nüfus Sayımına "Türk" seçeneğini de ekleyebilecektir. ATAA, 2020 Nüfus formunda değerlendirilmek amacıyla Amerikan Nüfus Bürosu'nun dikkatine sunulacak bir rapor için Türk asıllı uzmanlardan oluşan bir komisyon oluşturma girişimindedir.
