“Udaberri Jaia” (Spring Celebration) is what members of the Atlanta Euskal Etxea are calling its first public event this Sunday at Best Friend Park in Norcross, in Greater Atlanta.  It won’t be a typical picnic since its goal is to gather the most Basques, as well as other interested people possible to establish a Basque club in this area of the country.  If you live in the area, or know someone who does, please pass the worf or get in touch with the organization. 

Atlanta, Georgia, US.   Those backing the Atlanta Basque Club have decided to take more steps to establish a euskal etxea that will serve as a meeting point for Basques in this area and gather other people and families who would like to cultivate and conserve various aspects of the Basque culture for generations to come.  How to do it is precisely what they want to talk about with others interested in the project.

Right now, the board of directors, formed in December, has launched this invitation for next Sunday in a relaxed and festive atmosphere, similar to that found at Basque-American picnics in Western Basque America.  For the event they have prepared ribs, sausages and other products and dishes, cheese and dessert.  Cost of the event is $10 for adults and $6 for children 8 and older.

Club president, Camilo Aguirre, has told EuskalKultura.com that the event will take place, regardless of the weather.
