San Inazio 2012: Thank you to all
Another great San Inazio weekend enjoyed by so many Basques and non-Basques alike. Thank you to the volunteers who gave their time to work at the booths or behind the scenes. Your names are included in the lists below - if we missed someone we are very sorry and we will thank you in future newsletters.
I would also like to personally thank the Board of Directors and the employees of the Basque Center. All your hard work and organization made the festival run so smoothly and your willingness to help whenever needed was very much appreciated. Looking forward to San Inazio 2013!
Eskerrik asko,
Martin Bilbao

Thank you to Aitor Amuchastegui, Morrie Berriochoa and Chris Bieter for announcing throughout the day. Thanks to CP Audio for providing the sound and also the fantastic stage. And a special thank you to Warren Lemmon for providing sound the last several years.
Thank you also to Patty Miller, Mary Lou Guerricabeitia, Coro Goitiandia, Ray Mansisidor and a few special guests for playing great music to start out the day. Thanks to Jon Arrieta---Lifter; John Vergara---Lifter; Jose Luis Arrieta---Time Keeper/Coach; and PJ Mansisidor---Stone Setter/Spotter for their weight lifting exhibition. Their strength and willingness to keep the traditional lifting alive is something to be admired. Thank you to Gari Otamendi for his solo dance.
