After residing in Australia for nearly 26 years and having had 5 children here in Australia, my eldest daughter finally took the plunge and became an Australia citizen tonight.
The ceremony was conducted by the Lions Club at the Southern Cross Club in Woden and
Mr Wayne Berry MLA, Speaker, Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly, delivered that address to those becoming citizens and presented them with their certificates.
Some chose to recite an affirmation and other swore an oath of allegience.
The two course dinner was very enjoyable although poor little Ce’Nedra had to wait some time for her dinner to come. The main courses were chicken in filo pastry or roast beef, both meals were served with veges, followed by caramel fruit baskets or profiteroles. Just yummy.
So Varinia is now an Australian citzen. Congratulations on joining the majority of the family.
