Kaixo danori,
It’s official. Seattle is in it’s Fall/Winter stride with dipping temps and darkness at 5pm! That being the case SEE has decided it’s a great time of year to host a Basque Film Night and that is exactly what we’ve planned with a double feature of two Pacific Northwest Basque films:
Zuretzako by Javi Zuibzarreta
and
Basques in the West by Amaya Oxarango-Ingram and Brent Barras, followed by Q&A with Brent Barras!
Donations are being accepted for the completion of this project, here.
Please bring an appetizer/food item to share and join us:
Saturday, November 19th from 3-6pm
West Seattle Senior Center, Nucor Room (upstairs)
4217 SW Oregon St.
Seattle, WA 98116
RSVP’s sent to board2@seattleeuskal.org appreciated!
Please note the building is secure so in order to get everyone in and start the movie on time without interruptions we request that all attendees arrive between 3:00-3:15pm. The movie room is far away from the front door so we will not be able to hear you knocking after 3:15pm!
Parking is available on the street as well as ina parking lot behind the Senior center across the alley. The entrance to the parking lot is on 42nd Ave SW between Alaska Street and Oregon Street. There are 4 handicap places on the NW end of the lot where the stairs go down to the alley behind the senior center. This is a great place to park but I heard from the center that they have been cracking down and you can only park there for three hours and not a second more. No moving to another space in that lot, so please plan accordingly.
We look forward to SEEing you there!

Dear Basque Community,
Food First/Institute for Food & Development Policy has an exciting travel opportunity to the Basque Country coming up that I wanted to share with you in hopes that you will help us get the word out to the Basque community and Basque enthusiasts in the U.S. so that they can experience the amazing food and culture of the Basque people. Food First’s new travel program – Food Sovereignty Tours – offers a way for people to explore the global food system. In May we are going to the Basque Country where we will be hosted by the local farmers’ union EHNE and the tour will be led by Food First’s Executive Director Eric Holt-Giménez, who is Basque.
Below is a brief paragraph about the tour. There is more info about this and other tours at our website – www.foodsovereigntytours.org. Please consider including a note about this in your newsletters, or passing this email on to your contacts and friends.
Thank you for your help!
