Please mark your calendars and stay tuned... Preparations are underway for the 2003 NORTH AMERICAN GOAN REUNION to be held July 3-6 in Los Angeles. I visited with some of the organizing committee this week and am pleased at their huge undertaking and the fact that proceeds will benefit Goa Sudharop (www.goasudharop.org), a Goan NGO non-profit based in the USA. The average age of the organizing committee is under 30 (!) and they are doing a splendid job, led by Gerry Rodrigues. This week we went over the details of this convention at dinner held at Addi D’Costa’s Goan/Indian restaurant in the Los Angeles area (the food was like home food - really superb). Addi’s restaurant (that’s the name) is at 525 South Pacific Highway, Redondo Beach, California, 90277. Phone: 310-540-1616. More details of the convention will be provided in the near future including online registration. The grand dinner/dance will be held at the docked QUEEN MARY boat (visit http://www.queenmary.com/), a truly wonderful event to benefit a good cause. We will celebrate GOA DAY at the convention and hope Rene Baretto (who has made GOA DAY an international celebration) will join us.
