Cincinnati Chapter SAR Members Jack Bredenfoerder and Michael Gunn welcomed new citizens at five different ceremonies in December 2021. These events ranged from December 6th to December 17th and occurred at the Cincinnati Masonic Center located at 317 E. 5th St., Cincinnati, OH.



A total of more than 400 new Citizens representing thirty-eight countries participated.

The Presiding Magistrates Judges for these five events included: Timothy Black; Michael Barrett; Karen L. Litkovitz and Stephanie K. Bowman. These new citizens were administered the oath for Citizenship by representative Emily Hiltz.

Representatives from Senator Rob Portman’s and Steve Chabot‘s teams addressed those naturalized groups and thanked them for coming into this Country by the legal means.

The League of Women Voters assisted all the new citizens with their Voter Registration forms along with encouragement to exercise their right to vote.


Welcome to the home of the free and the brave!
