By Julie Menin, Director of NYC
Every day at 7:00 pm, New York
City comes together to show our
thanks to the health care workers
caring for our neighbors as we fight
COVID-19. And from May 6 to May 12,
people across the country will be celebrating
these frontline workers during
National Nurses Week.
And right after we take the time
to cheer our frontline workers, we
can also do our part to support them
for years to come by taking the 2020
Census.
The census is how NYC gets the
funding we need for our hospitals,
health care, emergency services,
schools, housing, senior centers, and
countless other public programs for
the next ten years. And when more of
us are counted, we get more funding.
So to keep frontline healthcare
workers fully resourced — not just
through the duration of this pandemic,
but for the next decade — every
New Yorker needs to be counted.
Luckily, it’s never been easier. You
can go online to my2020census.gov
or call 1-844-330-2020 right now and
answer 10 simple questions in just 5
minutes. Your information is 100%
confidential and protected by law.
Nurses and essential workers are
counting on us now more than ever to
fill out the census. As you get ready to
make some noise tonight, take a few
moments to give back by making sure
your household is counted.
Let’s clap for our nurses today and
fill out the census to support them
into tomorrow.
“Making Sense of the Census” is a
weekly column from Julie Menin, Director
of NYC Census 2020. Every week
we will be publishing pieces from Julie
and guest authors laying out the facts
and answering tough questions about
this year’s census. Fill out the census
now at my2020census.gov.
Receives Honorable Mention & Exhibition!
April 26, 2020 Cedar Grove
Cedar Grove resident, Cara Cilento, has become a force to reckon with in the up and coming
world of photography and wearable art.
“I really didn’t expect the attention I received.” Ms. Cilento said, “But I’m thankful for it.” When
speaking about her beginnings, she smiles. “A few years ago, I won an interior design consult as part
of a tricky tray. The designer asked who took all the photographs I had on my walls. I thought he was
going to tell me to take them down but when I told him it was me, he stepped closer and told me I
had a good eye and talent.”
Within a year, Ms. Cilento started to hone her talent and had won two honorable mentions
through The International ND Awards and International Chromatic Awards for Photomanipulation.
Ms. Cilento, mother of two, has had her artwork shown from coast to coast. Most recently, it was
shown at the Fine Art of Photography Exposition in Massachusetts. To her surprise, she was the only
artist from New Jersey chosen to appear. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, exhibition opportunities
have been forced online or delayed.
“I know families are suffering with the guidelines we need to keep each other safe and healthy.
I, myself, have family who had COVID-19 and a brother who is a first responder. You can’t help but
feel helpless when you’re quarantined from those you need to help.”
Ms. Cilento has decided to offer her in-stock artwork at a discounted rate and donate 50% of the
profit to First Responders Children’s Foundation. Her first listings, “Compass” and “Fire Escape
Soliloquy” are valued at $350.00 but will be offered at $150.00. To see samples of Ms. Cilento’s work,
you can visit her online gallery https://www.firesigncreations.com.
