YWCA CAP meetings were originally held on the 2nd Monday of the month at 11:00 AM. We recognize this may not be a good time for everyone, so we ask that in lieu of the November 13th meeting, please complete this brief survey.

NATURALIZATION CEREMONIES
Naturalization Ceremonies are overseen by the Federal Court of the Northern District of Ohio (21 counties) and are held monthly at various locations within the district. Members of LWV-TLC welcome the new citizens, register them to vote, provide a New Citizen’s Guide, an abbreviated list of elected officials, and encourage their active participation in our shared democracy.
We welcome anyone who wishes to help in this effort to contact Linda Mambort, chair of Naturalization Committee
