The Ontario, Oregon Basque Club will celebrate, on February 28, its 68th Charity Dinner – almost a must-go for locals, both Basque and non-Basque. As usual, a live lamb will be donated by the Gabiola family but, this year, Amuma Says No will bring back the spirit of Jim Jausoro's Band, since past member Domingo Ansotegui’s son, Dan, is the accordionist of the folk group from Boise. “We are very happy to have them here. We hope they will attract more young people to the dance,” told to Euskalkultura.com Lisa Corcostegui, president of the club.

In Euskal Herria going out to sing verses on the eve of Santa Ageda is a very old and loved tradition. In the Diaspora, there have been groups who have maintained the custom and that do the same every year in their cities, to sing to the saint, like in Boise or Madrid. This year, we also have received images from Brussels and Elko, NV.
