Today marks the first time Durango has ever hosted a swearing-in ceremony for U.S. naturalization. 13 immigrants from four different countries became naturalized citizens at the Durango courthouse. They were celebrated by friends, family, and supporters. One of our own ESL students, Obdulia Fonseca, was among them! The League of Women Voters supplied the new citizens with voter registration material, and gifted each of them with an annual parks pass! It was a special day to celebrate a great achievement!
