Dear Herman
I hope that you don't mind if a non-Goan is a subscriber to your newsletters. I have been a frequent visitor to Goa for the past 13 years and 3 years ago I purchased a property in Candolim as my "retirement paradise"
I love reading all the latest news about Goa whilst sitting here in London eagerly awaiting my next visit - Sept 16th!!!!
I also love Daisy's recipe's - I've tried out quite a few since subscribing & they are wonderful.
Congratulations on your anniversary!!
Best regards
Iain Colquhoun

Dear Goanetters,
Goanet celebrates its 11th anniversary today -- August 25, 2005. On behalf of
the Goanet Admin team, I'd like to thank all our members for making this
possible.
Goanet had a humble beginning in 1994 with only 20 members. Today, Goanet is
*the* public forum of choice for Goans worldwide for addressing important
issues. I'd like to thank you, our members, for your role in making this
possible. You've posted interesting articles and shared your opinions making
Goanet an interesting and vibrant forum. Indeed, Goanet has a great wealth of
information in its archives. We hope that you will continue to do the same in
the future.
Special thanks go to all our volunteers for their role in Goanet's success:
Frederick Noronha (Goa, India)
Viviana Coelho (San Francisco, CA, USA)
Bosco D'Mello (Toronto, Canada)
Daisy Rodrigues (CA, USA)
Michelle D'Souza (Boston, MA, USA)
Christina Pinto (Australia)
Vincente Fernandes (Goa, India)
We are very lucky to have such a dedicated group of people volunteering with
us. Having worked personally with each of these volunteers I can tell you that
they spend countless hours of working on Goanet. They do not look for
recognition or thanks of any sort. They just continue to work diligently day
in and day out. In my eyes, they are nothing short of heroes in our community.
What does the future hold for Goanet?
As you know, the Goanet mailing lists have been the mainstay of Goanet. We
will continue to expand this network to reach Goans wherever they may be. We
will also continue to work towards improving the quality of the forum.
Last year saw the Goanet take a huge step forward with the launch of
http://www.goanet.org/. This year, we plan to develop the website further. We
plan to improve our news service, introduce innovative ways to share
information and to launch community building projects in Goa.
I hope to see more of you volunteer with Goanet. You don't have to be computer
savvy. You just have to be willing to devote a little time to your community.
Together we can provide a valuable public service to our community.
Congratulations to Goanet on its 11th anniversary!
Best wishes,
Herman Carneiro
