Naturalization Ceremony at the Lucerne Dock

February 11th, 2011

Becky Woods Sellers, Village carpenter/posti, became an official citizen of the United States on Wednesday, January 26th after completing an on-site naturalization ceremony at the Lucerne dock. Woods Sellers took her oath of allegiance from Keith Brown, who first visited Holden during last summer’s Abriendo Caminos week. A whole busload of Villagers attended the ceremony, celebrating with Holden-style exuberance. In light of this event, the winter community has been prompted to valuable dialogue regarding topics of patriotism, allegiance, and citizenship.
