The Eusko Aterpea Basque club in the Argentine town of General Rodriguez prepared and sold 250 portions of its classic calamari Biscayan style, contributing in this simple, but important way, to the club’s budget. This was the first big activity organized by the newly-elected board. With Raul Taretto at the head, the club’s directors are anticipating a year full of excellent projects including a return to the “Adult Words” program.

The death last Sunday, in a car accident, of member Francisco Bazurto was quite a blow for many members of the institution that is the little big family of the Eusko Etxea of New York. Another Basque, visiting from the Basque Country is in critical condition. After thinking about it, the EENY has decided to go ahead with next Sunday’s Aberri Eguna celebration, but with a different format dedicated to these two. Patxi’s funeral will take place on Thursday in Queens.
