Naturalization Oath Ceremony, October 10, 2009
BCHS and HNBLPC hosted the very moving ceremony at HNBL. Paperwork functions for 31 new citizens took place at the Campbell-Christie House and the actual ceremony was held at the Steuben House where
John Thompson, District Director USCIS,
Congressman Steven Rothman,
Congressman Scott Garrett,
River Edge Mayor Margaret Watkins,
Mary Bustillo Donohue, HNBLPC Vice Chair, and BCHS Past President
Kevin Wright all gave memorable remarks to the 31 new citizens. God Bless America was beautifully sung by
Susan Lento, River Dell High School student. Refreshments were provided by BCHS.
As you can see, everyone wanted their photo taken with
George (Rodger Yaden) and
Martha (Rosann Pelligrino) Washington!
