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.
