On this occasion the club wanted to once again thank Sergio and Naiara for all of their work and show their confidence in the future i this new phase that begins with Juan Mari Aramendi as President and Ander Caballero as Vice-President.

“The time has arrived at the New England Basque Club (NEBC) for some changes. After years coordinating the efforts at the NEBC, Sergio Sotelo and Naiara Azpiri have decided to step down as President and Vice President of our organization. They'll still be part of our Board, which means we’ll continue to enjoy their good energy and cheerfulness. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank them for their time and generous dedication. Eskerrik asko, Sergio and Naiara!”
