The arrival of Spring has resurrected the Goan Community with a full programme of social and cultural events taking place over the next few months.
Here are a few:-
April 17 - Easter Dance organized by the Friends Club in Mississauga with dancing to the sounds of PAVE CONNECTION & DJ FATZ
April 23 - A new Seniors Group (55+) serving the East Toronto area will be holding their first meeting for enrolment of members and election of an executive committee. This will be the first of many events planned for 2004. A similar group will soon be formed in the West Toronto area covering Mississauga and Brampton, the fastest growing suburbs in Canada.
April 24 - "THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR" will be holding a fund raising dinner-dance for Alison De Silva (now in recovery from a rare medical disorder) to help in much-needed equipment and home care.Alison herself will be attending the event in the Brampton area which will feature a band, DJ, and live entertainment.
April 25- G.O.A. AGM . Usually a "Ho Hum" event, but this year expect high praise for the executive for paring down "the property debt" to less than $100K. The unspoken issue - "to sell, or not to sell, the property" will receive the fale,fale, treatment, with attention turning to the 34th Anniversary Dance on May 1st where members will pay half the going rate for a sit-down dinner/dance.
May 22 - Make no mistake, Konkani Tiatr is still around. The entire cast of "Chukh" popular Konkanni drama staged thrice to rave reviews in London, England, will be flying in to perform at the Stephen Leacock Collegiate Institute in Scarborough. Producer is Francis D'Costa with MC Jr. Menezes.
The usual Village Feasts - Margao -Saligao - Aldona - Siolim will continue to be celebrated.
