INDIAN AMBASSADOR CROWN'S G.O.A.'S MAY QUEEN IN QATAR Based on its huge success last year, the Goan Overseas Association (G.O.A.) held its May Queen Pageant 2002 on 16th May 2002 at the Giwana Ball-room, Ramada Hotel from 8.00 p.m. onwards with over 500 guests, well-wishers and sponsors from all walks of life in attendance. The Chief Guest for the Evening was His Excellency Ranjan Mathai, the Indian Ambassador to Qatar. The compere Mr. Savio D'Silva who flew specially from Dubai for the event set the mood and the tone for a fun packed evening with his inimitable style and performance. His Excellency in his message congratulated the Goan Overseas Association, also rendering his thanks for inviting him and his partner to this wonderful event. In particular he appreciated the G.O.A.'s effort in organizing this mega event saying that the dancing was definitely very impressive and it brought back fond memories of his youth. Mr. Simon D'Silva, the president of the G.O.A. welcomed everyone warmly and thanked them all for gracing the occasion. Just the presence of such large numbers was a strong and clear indication of the enormous value that they held for each other and it is a great honor to lead the Goan Overseas Association in Qatar which had such a strong presence and firm links with other Goan Associations all round the world, said Mr. D'Silva. He also applauded the managing committee and the core group of the G.O.A. without whose cooperation and massive support this huge success would have been but a dream and not such a wonderful reality. GOA's leading band the ARCHIES satiated the music buds of all the guests by playing fantastic music catering exclusively to taste and choice of all and sundry. The floor was jam-packed constantly with crowds of people and theirs partners dancing the night away, some taking away valuable spot prizes donated by the various sponsors. Alex Gonsalves the DJ of Desert Thunder with his exquisite choice of music ensured that everybody had a tumultuous time clamoring for more and more. The May Queen Pageant was very glitzy and conducted in a highly professional style. Each contestant was a winner in their own way with their alluring smile, slinky looks and proud walk making it very difficult for the esteemed judges in attendance Mr. Donald Pereira, Mr. Archie D'Mello and Ms Paula Myers to make their decision. It has always been the G.O.A.'s principle that every woman is Beautiful and Special, what set the winners apart from the rest of the contestants was the power of their grace, personality and exclusiveness. In all the charm and glamour of all the lovely contestants only 12 made it to the final round, where Ms. Sabina Fernandes and Ms. Valia Gonsalves were crowned May Queen 2002 and Runner-up by H.E. Ranjan Mathai, Ambassador of India and Mrs. Maria Rodrigues who was May Queen 2001 In summary, the May Queen 2002 was a huge success where everybody had a rollicking time.
