* * * * * * * * * ANNUAL GOANETTERS MEET * * * * * * * * *
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goanetters in Goa and visiting meet Jan 6, 2009 at 3.30 pm at Hotel
Mandovi (prior to the Goa Sudharop event, which you're also welcome to).
Join in for a Dutch dinner -- if we can agree on a venue after the meet.
RSVP (confirmations only) 9822122436 or 2409490 or f...@goa-india.org

Instead of taking extreme positions, I suggest Goan experts/expats come
up with concrete business proposals by which mine owners can diversify
into other areas and get out of mining in due course of time. That seems
like one of the ways in which the imbroglio can be resolved.
Food parks, plantations, fishing, eco-tourism, IT, packaging industry, media
---
these are some of the alternates. However, the path is not going to be
easy. None of these industries make as much money as easily as just selling
the earth. But then, this much needs to be done for Goa.
