3 OINKARI SAGARDOTEGI
Our annual transition from Basque Center Hall to Oinkari Sagardotegi falls on November 23. Jesus Alcelay is set to prepare a traditional Sagardotegi spread, just like you’re in the Basque Country! Our cider barrels are ready to txotx—are you? Tickets are available at oinkari.org/sagardotegi for $50 per person or $500 per table of 10. Tickets include a traditional sagardotegi dinner, entertainment, and night full of txotxing! ESKERRIK ASKO FROM OINKARI
Thank you to everyone who has helped with the Oinkari chorizo booth this season. With the generous hearts of our families, friends, Aiztan Artean, Euzkaldunak, and many others, we found ourselves quite a bit less stressed about chopping onions, transporting croquetas, and grilling solomos. We couldn’t do the things we do without our community—mil esker! BOISEKO GAZTEAK
Boiseko Gazteak practice is underway! All the latest information can be found at our page on the Basque Center website: basquecenter.com/community/boiseko-gazteak/ Boiseko Parents: If you are not receiving periodic emails with information about Boiseko, please email [email protected] with your email address and child’s name. 2019-2020 Calendar: - 09/24 - First practice at 7:00 PM (practice each

4 MORZILLA MAKERS NEEDED!
We need your help to make the morzillak for the annual Morzilla Dinner on Saturday, November 2, 2019. Efforts begin Tuesday, October 29, at Fiddlers Green Farm (see directions below). Same location as 2018. Drop in anytime between 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM to help prepare the onions and leeks. Wednesday, October 30, we will be cooking the onions and leeks from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Thursday, October 31, at the Basque Center, we will make the morzillas in two shifts: 7:00 AM to 12:30 PM, and 1:00 PM until 5:00 PM. A lunch for both shifts will be served at the break - at approximately 12:30 PM. If you can’t help out on either of those days, consider Friday, November 1, at the Basque Center from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM, when we will be packaging the morzillas. Making morzillas is probably the most unique of our volunteer efforts, and it’s also a lot of fun. If you would like to help out or have any additional questions, please contact Sean Aucutt at 208-371-3090. Directions to Fiddlers Green Farm: (Starting from downtown Boise:) ○ Head northwest on W State Street ○ Turn right onto N Gary Ln (1.1 mi) ○ Continue onto W Hill Rd Pkwy (0.4 mi) ○ Continue straight onto N Seamans Gulch Rd
(4.2 mi) ○ Continue straight onto Broken Horn Rd ○ Turn Right on Echanove Dr (0.4 mi) ○ Entrance to Farm on Left. Park inside the
gates. 14440 Broken Horn Rd, Boise, ID 83714

5 CHILDREN’S HALLOWEEN PARTY
The Kids' Halloween Party continues to be a hit each year! And, it's that time of year again! All members and their children (under 10) are invited to come and celebrate Halloween at the Basque Center on Sunday, October 27 from 3:00-5:00 PM. "Cost of admission" will be candy or a homemade treat of your choice to share. The idea would be for the kids to "trick or treat" at each family's table placed around the room. To get into the spirit, families are encouraged to decorate their table. There will be a costume show for the kids (and maybe even adults), cookie decorating, and lots of fun! It will be important to RSVP for this event, so organizers can plan ahead. Please email Sarah Urizar-Smith at [email protected] for information or to RSVP. Eskerrik Asko! NOVEMBER BINGO PRIZES
If you are interested in donating a bingo prize for the Morzilla Dinner and Bazaar on Saturday, November 2, please contact Alicia Knox at [email protected]. We hope to have a fun filled night of bingo with prizes for all ages to win and enjoy!

6 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
“Izan zirelako gara, garelako izango dira” (Because they were we are, because we are they will be) was never more evident than at the September Dinner where we gathered to honor and recognize the Legacy Award Recipients. 39 recipients were recognized with 33 able to participate in the ceremony. Euzkaldunak is again proud to recognize their contributions to the Basque Center - 70 years strong! You may have noticed several recent changes to the Basque Center in regards to security personnel, access to/from events and the movement of alcohol between physical areas. These changes are the result of additional conditions now being required by Boise City for Alcohol Beverage Catering Permits for every Basque Center event held outside of the physical bar/patio. We must be compliant under penalty of losing our liquor license. We are diligently working with the ISP Alcohol Beverage Control and the BPD Community Outreach Division to help mitigate the impact. Your patience and understanding as we work through these issues is greatly appreciated.
Eskerrik Asko, Ed Orbea
EUZKALDUNAK WANTS YOU!
Every year during our General Meeting in January, the Euzkaldunak membership elects half of its Board of Directors. This year, there will be five (5) vacant positions. If you would like to serve our Basque community, work with a great bunch of people, and have a lot of fun, please think about running! If you are interested in running for the Board of Directors, please contact Ed Orbea at [email protected].
