Membership 2019 Bazkidetza

Dear Members,

At Eusko Etxea of New York we look forward to welcoming you back for the 2019 season and we hope to celebrate together the Aberri Eguna on April 21th, 2019. As the oldest Eusko Etxea in the United States we remain in our commitment to providing an environment that supports all aspects of Basque culture and the needs of our members.

As you know, over the last couple of years we have carried out much needed renovation work in the first floor of our club. We repay the walls for better insolation and avoid issues with the neighbors. Apply electrical fixes and new illumination in the first floor. Apart from the renovations, we paid delayed tax payments, insurance fees, all kind of utility bills and today we are up to day at all these section. All these improvements and fiscal obligations are very costly but we have accomplished them.

As per our plan the next phase will include the decoration of the walls with word and the ceiling of EENY. Over the next year or two we will work hard to raise the necessary funds to accomplish this next phase.

By far EENY’s greatest resource are its members and we hope that you will continue to actively participate in our activities and financially support EENY.

Best regards,

New Yorkeko Euskal etxea

Kide Agurgarriak agur,

New Yorkeko euskal etxetik irrikatzen gaude 2019ko denboraldiari haiera eman eta Aberri Eguna elkarrekin ospatzea espero dugu 2019.eko apirilaren 21ean. Estatu Batuetan Eusko Etxe zaharrena denez, euskal kulturaren alderdi guztiak eta gure kideen beharrak aintzat hartzen dituen ingurunea eskaintzen dugu.

Jakin badakizuenez, azken urteotan gure klubeko lehen solairuan beharrezkoak diren berritze lanak egin ditugu. Hormak erreparaty hobeto isolatzeko. Aplikatu konponketa elektrikoak eta argiztapena lehen solairuan. Berritzeaz gain, atzeratutako zerga ordainketak, aseguruak, erabilgarritasun-fakturak ordaindu ditugu. Hobekuntza horiek eta betebehar fiskalak oso garestiak dira baina gaur egun eguneratuta ditugu.

Gure planaren arabera, hurrengo fasea EENYren paretak dekoratu eta zapaia konpontzea izango da. Hurrengo urtean edo bi urtean zehar hurrengo fasea betetzeko beharrezkoak diren fondoak handituko ditugu.

Orain arte, EENYren baliabide handiena kideak dira eta espero dugu gure jardueretan aktiboki parte har dezazun eta EENY finantzatzeko laguntza.

Desiorik onerak,

New Yorkeko Euskal etxea
