Today marks the Goanet�s nineth birthday. Launched on August 25th, 1994, Goanet was the first mailing list for Goans worldwide. I�d like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have helped make Goanet a success.
I cannot possibly name everyone who has been instrumental in its success. We've had various organizations host us and given us a platform to grow such as Northeastern University and GOACOM. We have various people contribute to discussions at various times. They�ve made the list interesting and lively. We also have silent members who show their support by just being subscribed to the list and help us when called upon. They play an important role too for we cannot have everyone posting to the list. Many thanks for all of you for your role in Goanet's success. There is a group, however, which I would like to send special thanks to � the Goanet admin team. Here�s to our present volunteers Vivian Coelho, Fred Noronha, Bosco D'Mello abd Vincente Fernandes, who work hard behind the scenes to ensure our lists run smoothly. Thank you for all your hard work! And, thank you too to all the volunteers who have previously helped us. In the future I�d like to see the Goanet community become more involved with Goan communities worldwide. Goanet is a unique tool through which we can work together to help each other. I�d also like to see more people to participate in discussions and become more active in our community. Together we can make this list vibrant and more attractive. Goanet�s birthday is something for us all to celebrate. I�d like to invite you to share your Goanet experience with us, whether you are an old-timer or a new comer. Viva Goanet!!!
