Folks, The following is for those who are still interested in holding Goan Conventions. I do not want to disclose who I am quoting and for this reason have X'd some words. "Thanks for this info. Having played a major role in organizing a Goan convention in XXXXXX, I am aware of all the squabbles that ensue between competing personalities. My answer to such trivial nonsense is do all the work that needs to be done, and let someone else take the credit for doing it. Next time make people like XXXXXX and XXXXXX emeritus co-presidents of the convention, with big garlanded pictures of them on the website. Please don't lose heart."
