For our credit card transactions we use the company Square. Unfortunately, on the day of the picnic there were issues with Square, and as a result none of the credit card transactions were processed. In other words, your card was not actually charged.

If you used your credit/debit card and have a general idea of how much you spent we invite you to send a check directly to:

Chino Basque Club
PO Box 1080 Chino, CA 91710
