Response: George, what I wrote, and you rightly quoted, has been done by "Goans to help other Goans" and it has worked very well. Perhaps you missed the posting of the St. Xavier's feast by the New York City Goans and the speech by their chief guest Ralph D'Souza. The speech by the chief Guest was also posted on the GoaNet and it was an excellent speech. Pity you may have missed it. Goans complain that most of our get-together are tamashas and when suggestions and example are given, they are ? overlooked. Happy New Year. Regards, GL From: George Pinto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Rather than posting speeches, better to post what Goans do to help other Goans. This way we can have some successful ideas which other diasporic [sic] Goans can implement. --- Gilbert Lawrence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > As a good example, on this and other networks we have made several > calls, indeed pleas for Goan social events this season to have a Goan > chief guest and to post their speech on the Goan cyber space.
