Odolki Jana 2024

On Saturday, March 4, we held our Odolki Jana (Blood Sausage Dinner,) and it was a fun event! The weather wasn't great, but we still had a fun group of members come!

We appreciate all who came out to try the sausages that were made by our members a week prior. Thank you to the chair of the event, the cooks, and to all those who helped! The meal was delicious!

This year, we had a fun educational activity at this event created by our Euskara director. We all learned about the tradition of making Blood Sausages as well as some new Basque words! Look at the educational flyer here.

We also held our Mini Mus Tournament that morning. Congratulations to Daniel Aguerre and Javier Zamora who won 1st place, and Shamar Lejardi and Johnny Cendagorta who won 2nd!
