The Chino Basque Club board has decided to wait until July to decide
whether or not we will be having a picnic this year.
At that time we will be able to make a more informed decision.
ISIDORE CAMOU 1939-2020
Isidore came to Chino from Irissarry, France in 1961. He worked as a milker for many years but he and his wife, Marie Claire would eventually buy and manage a motel in Riverside. Isidore was a dedicated husband and father. They would have five children and eventually 11 grandchildren. Most important to us, Isidore was the pillar of our Basque community. He became a member of the Chino Basque Club in 1976 and worked tirelessly ever since. He was instrumental in making sure we had a club house and was our main chef. Isidore was elected to the Board numerous times and along with his wife, Marie Claire, was the recipient of the Bizi Emankorra award. We shall miss his quiet, charming ways as well as his work ethic. Isidore has been an inspiration to us all. Our most sincere sympathies to Marie Claire, Frank, Alain, Patrick, Dominique, Louise and their families.
Unfortunately for the 2020 graduates, all ceremonies and year-end activities have been canceled. The Chino Basque Club felt these young people should be highlighted. Please click below to view a short video. We have 15 graduates who are either children of CBC members or are members in their own right.

This year’s theme for Basque Cultural Day, a biennial event hosted by the Basque Educational Organization (BEO) in San Francisco, was about “Kaliforniako Euskaldunen Atzak” – Basque Footprints in California. On October 26th, several CBC members took part in presenting for the day’s events: Marianna Etcheverria, Mitch Gariador, and Jeanette Bidart presented their findings on “Early Basque Presence in Southern California” an entertaining tale of wealthy land owners, an attorney, a monk, and a Basque newspaper published completely in Basque; Steven Gamboa presented “The Long Walk: Sheep Transhumance from Kern County to the High Sierra,” a discussion about Basque sheepherders of Kern County who drove their herd hundreds of miles on foot from the Central Valley and Mojave Desert to the High Sierras; and Nancy Zubiri, originally from the Bay Area presented her findings of early Basque presence in the San Francisco area,
culminating on the building of the Basque Cultural Center.
