GOANS SET TO CELEBRATE WORLD GOA DAY IN MELBOURNE
Goans in Melbourne will be celebrating the now regular Annual World Goa Day
event with their family and friends on Saturday the 30th of September 2006. In
order to accommodate the larger numbers attending this year, the event will be
held at the Kingston City Hall, Moorabbin.
Many Goans throughout the world will join Melbournians to commemorate this
event which is earmarked to celebrate recognition of Konkani as their 'mai
bhas' [mother tongue]. On this day, Goans take pride in their culture and
hospitality and in order to keep in line with the latter, they invite their
friends and mainstream Australians to share in the jubilant celebrations as
was done in the last four years.
The World Goa Day function is also a gathering to socialise, catch up with old
friends and make new friends. It is a venue to taste Goan hospitality, share
and witness a special culture, enjoy cuisine and listen to some nostalgic
music. In the words of Mahatma Gandhi "No culture can live, if it attempts to
be exclusive". In the true spirit of multi-culturism, Goans take the
opportunity to meet Australians of other cultures, and enjoy the diverse
nature of different people.
The evening featuring a dinner dance, will have 'live music' by one of the
well known local bands 'Replay 6 with Sandra', besides a spectacular Goan folk
dance, and a delicious buffet provided by Silver Platter, which will encompass
some special Goan dishes including a wide variety of vegetarian items. There
will be lots of surprises and prizes on the night.
Enquiries about the evening can be made to any one of the four names mentioned
in the flyer published in this newspaper or by contacting Oscar Lobo,
Telephone: 03 9563 9918 or Mobile: 0404 848 345.
