Dear Goanetters, Goanet celebrates its 11th anniversary today -- August 25, 2006. On behalf of the Goanet Admin team, I'd like to say thank you and congratulations 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. Goanet is an interesting and vibrant forum with lots of different characters. Goanet also has a great wealth of information in its archives. However, Goanet is much more than that -- it is a virtual community. Whether you have made new friends on Goanet or rekindled old friendships Goanet has certainly been an important network in our community. I hope that you will continue to support Goanet far into the future. The Goanet volunteers require special mention. They work tirelessly and selflessly to keep Goanet running. Moreover, they do a fantastic job. We owe them tremendous thanks. They are: 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) Deborah Santimano (Lahore, Pakistan) 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. We need your help to make Goanet grow. There are two important ways all our members can help: 1. Make a donation to Goanet. Your donations will be used to solely to maintain Goanet operations. Go to our website (http://www.goanet.org/) and make a donation using the Paypal link. 2. Become a volunteer. Were looking for volunteers to help expand our network. You work will go a long way to supporting the community. Congratulations to Goanet on its 12th anniversary!
