Description
Excerpt from the March edition of County Board Wrap-Up featuring Board Chair Jay Fisette's discussion of a recent Citizenship Ceremony in which Board members were invited to participate.
A
B
She
attended
yeah
thanks
for
asking
about
this,
because
I
think
I've
been
on
the
board
20
years.
It
was
the
first
time
I
was
invited.
I
think
the
board
members
were
invited
to
participate
in
an
Immigration
and
Naturalization
Service
citizenship
program.
Where
58
folks
became
American
citizens,
they
get
their
certificate,
they
say
the
oath
of
allegiance.
B
It
was
at
our
central
library
and
Katie
crystal
the
vice
chair
and
I
John
was
there
Christian
was
there
to
enjoy
this
as
well.
Obviously,
beyond
the
58
new
American
citizens,
many
of
their
family
members
and
friends
were
there
and
it
was
a
very
emotional
moment
not
just
for
the
58
people
that
came
from
28
different
countries,
but
for
all
of
us
you
know
to
hear
the
pledge
of
allegiance
to
hear
the
national
anthem.
A
B
B
She
came
to
this
country
at
18
to
be
a
nanny,
and
this
is
35
years
ago,
and
the
woman
that
was
there
taking
her
picture
was
the
little
girl
she
came
to
be
a
nanny
for
who
had
she
said
to
me
and
pushed
her
and
helped
her
through
all
the
hoops
and
hurdles
to
actually
pursue
her
citizenship.
So
I
mean
that's
just
one
story
of
58.
There
were
58
similar
stories
there
that
morning,
wow.
B
A
Of
puts
that
human
face
on
this
whole
situation,
I
mean
it's
something
that's
been
in
the
news
again
this
week
with
different
communities,
some
of
our
neighboring
communities
voting
on
whether
to
become
sanctuary
cities,
but
this
is
really
the
kind
of
human
side
that
comes
from
that.
These
are
folks
who
come
here
want
to
be
part
of
our
community.
They
want
to
be
American
citizens
and.
B
Most
of
them
have
been
here
many
many
years.
They
are,
by
all
intents
and
purposes,
they've
accepted
embraced
what
this
country
is
now
I
guess
one
of
my
messages
to
them
was,
you
know,
keep
keep
getting
involved
and
you're
in
your
local
community,
whether
it's
Arlington
or
fairfax,
or
our
neighboring
jurisdiction.
They
were
from
all
over
the
region,
find
a
way
because
that's
what
America
is
America
allows
people
encourages
people
to
get
involved
in
their
PTA
in
the
school
and
the
neighborhood
Civic
Association
in
in
a
non-profit
helping
you
know,
provide
food
to
the
less-advantaged.
B
A
B
B
You
know
about
immigration
resources
that
everyone
who
has
questions
should
look
to
first
to
see
if
it
answers
your
questions
about
the
role
of
the
County
police
and
what
the
role
is,
what
the
role
isn't,
where
you
can
go
to
find
assistance
and
resources,
and
hopefully
it
will
answer
many
of
your
questions
and
because
this
isn't
moving
issue
and
we're
responding
on
a
regular
basis
that
web
page
will
be
updated
on
a
regular
basis.
Something.
