July 4th Naturalization Ceremony
A joyous and momentous event!
Our 16th annual July 4th naturalization ceremony was another joyous event. Fifty-five applicants from 31 different countries took their Oath of Allegiance as U.S. citizens. Join us in honoring our new citizens’ journey to citizenship by attending, volunteering, and/or donating as an event sponsor.
Center for New Americans thanks USCIS (U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services), Federal Magistrate Katherine A. Robertson, the Massachusetts Trial Court, the City of Northampton, Amherst Boy Scout Troop 504, the League of Women Voters, Northampton Chapter, DJ Kevin Legends (Kevin Spivey), and local businesses for support of this much-loved local annual tradition.
