MESSAGE


On behalf of the members of the Calangute Association, Canada, I send our best wishes to all the Goans around the world on the 8^th Anniversary of the World Goa Day to be held on August 20^th, 2007.

Let us toast ourselves to our past, present and future and to our unique Goan heritage! We are thankful to God and our ancestors for all they have done for us, and all they have given us. We hope the future will be kind and generous to our children, and that our heritage, and culture will long endure.


I would request all the Goan Organizations throughout the World to join and support the World Alliance of Goan Overseas Associations.

We salute Rene Barreto's leadership for bringing Goans around the world together to celebrate Goa Day.

We have designated our forthcoming event- the Sixteenth Anniversary and the Annual Social of the Calangute Association, Canada to be held on Saturday September 15 ^th, 2007, to be part of our Goa Day celebrations and we invite all Goans to attend our 2007 forthcoming event to be held in Mississauga, Canada.



Best wishes to all Goans around the World.



Antonio Mascarenhas
President
Calangute Association, Canada
