The North American Basque Organizations held its annual fall meeting this last Saturday, November 15th, at Louis’ Basque Corner, in Reno, Nevada co-hosted by the William A.

Noted attendees also included Maria Concepcion Aranguren Laflin, Delegate of Euskadi in the United States and Canada, and Benan Oregi representing the Basque Government’s Department of the Basque Community Abroad. Other highlights of the meeting included the rehiring of Madalen Bieter and Mikaela De Poyster-Goikoetxea as Euskara Coordinators, and Kate Camino and Lisa Corcostegui as NABO facilitator and webmaster respectively. Everyone was treated to a wonderful lunch at Louis’ and then in the evening, to the Zazpiak Bat Basque Club’s San Martin festivities held at the Nugget (formerly John Ascuaga’s Nugget). Safe to say a good time was had by all! On behalf of everyone at NABO, we’d like to thank the CBS as well as the Reno Basque Club for their wonderful hospitality. Mila esker handi bat!
