Folks,
Everyone but everyone is invited for the Goa Sudharop
raffle draw which will be held at my place on December
15th. When I say everyone, also included is the guy
who left a message on my answering machine claiming
that he, the one with the never humble opinion, will
show up.
As you know, we are going to sing Christmas carols on
that night. We are taking requests! This year the
requests are for free. Next year, carols will be sung
for the highest bidder.
After the draw is the party. The party is to celebrate
every one of you who helped in raising funds for Goan
causes. Even though (perhaps because?) I said food,
drinks and music would be on me, some people came up
with the idea of having a pot luck. As such, I have
informed those who want to bring a dish to do so only
if that dish can:
a) please the discriminate Goan taste bud and
b) has presentational value, as I will post a picture
of the same on the web.
Next, I need your help on what drinks to serve the
revellers. I have at my disposal:
1) The most expensive caju feni in the world. Cecil
knows what I am talking about. Every Xmas I send my
brother-in-law tons of electronics and in return I
get, so I am told, two bottles of the hardest to find
caju feni from Siolim.
2) The second drink choice for the revellers is the
hardest to find liquor in Canada.
3) The third choice is what every Goan smells from 20
ft away.
The musicians. Ah! The musicians! I have the finest
guitarist in the world for sing alongs. I also have
the webmaster of the Tanzanite net who is both a
guitar and keyboard player. I have the all the top
prize donors, some of whom insist on bringing their
instruments. Then I have my sweet and gentle wife.
Yes, the one who drives people crazy with her singing.
I have donations that we could not use for the raffle
due to Canadian laws. One of the donations is "Rolfe's
Goan Sausages." Am going to use these donations to
feed the guests. If any of you see Rolfe Fernandes at
the BMX events, ask him for his recipe. I also have
Canadian made mango pickle, tendli pickle, and prawn
balchow that is second to none.
Most importantly, I have a big THANKS to each and
everyone of you you took either the time or effort to
contribute to the raffle.
Lastly, since we have ample time to properly organize
the next Goa Sudharop fund raiser, please be ready for
a bigger and better fund raiser next year.
