Please note: for the events for which donations are requested, only a certain portion of that donation will be tax deductible.  (Contact us for more information).

(PLEASE MAKE A NOTE ON YOUR CALENDAR FOR ALL THE NACHO ACTIVITIES)

PLEASE NOTE:

All instuifs are being held on the second Saturdays of the months (see schedule attached).  All Saturday instuifs (open house parties) are free of charge, beverages and desserts are on the house.  The only requirement is that you bring a HOT dish for approx. 4-6 people.  (Please do not bring desserts since they are on the house, but we do need the hot dishes).  You do not need to make reservations.

The instuifs start after 4:00 PM (please give us a chance to get everything set up) until we are tired.  There is a possibility to play cards, play table games, read or borrow Dutch books, watch Dutch movies, socialize, dance, sing along, whatever your little heart desires.  The only prerequisite is that we are having fun keeping the spirit of our community alive. 

The instuifs are held at the residence of Henny Neys, the president of NACHO:

549 Ellesmere Drive, Walnut Creek, CA 94598. 

NACHO is a private organization dedicated to uniting people of Dutch descent and their friends from all over the San Francisco Bay Area.  We are not a membership organization.  We want everyone to have a good time at all of our events, and to make sure this happens, the board members of the NACHO reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone who might stop others from enjoying themselves.  We want everyone to feel comfortable at all of our events.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact anyone of the following committee members:
