Dinner by SteveGamboa was served to a full house. Well wishes from NABO president, Annie Gavica, for our continued success
was shared by NABO treasurer, Mayi Petracek. The Club showcased what its members are doing to preserve our culture. Mitch Gariador shared his www.bridge2pyrenees.org,
which sparked the Lassa Family Reunion (photo above); Jeanette Bidart and Marianna Etcheverria shared clips from various interviews; NOKA along with Maite Maisterrena sang while Gauden Bat danced. Milena Leonis and Analise Anema debuted their duet in Basque. Music was played by Jeanette Duhart, Denis Petrissans & Martin Almirantearena. Linda Iriart took photos for our anniversary album.
All in all, the evening was magical and we are all blessed with a membership
so willing to give of themselves for our entire Basque community.
