Its February 7 2009, and it gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to this Gala Annual Day Celebration. The one time- we interact, renew ties and have a fun filled evening of entertainment. We have prepared a beautiful setting with lots of fun filled events to make sure the night is special for you and your family. We want you to have fun. The year 2008-2009 has begun with a change. A new Committee "Old Wine in New Bottles" The year has been fraught with acrimony and marred by internal dissension, but has not distracted us from our Goal. For it is not, how big or small the Committee is, but how effective it is. The fault lies with no one - and everyone. August 15, 2008, Independence Day, 26 Sponsorships, 42 freeships, were distributed to the needy and marginalized students, and 28 scholarships were distributed to the meticulous students of Cuncolim. We owe this to some of the new committee members and our well-wishers. A Big Thank You to you all for your contribution to a worthy cause. The next task is to widen our grass roots. For this, we have to induct new members. We need new blood, new faces, new ideas and I sincerely request you all especially. the young sons and daughters of Cuncolim to come join us, shoulder some responsibility, take up some project, an idea of a project that will benefit Cuncolim Only 10 new members have joined the family. A concerted effort must be made, to bring in one, two, three members. So Lets' Start Now and continue year round. To my fellow Cuncolkars overseas, how can we reach you. Whoever you are, wherever you are touch base. This is an appeal to keep your roots alive. If any one in India or overseas knows of a fellow Cuncolkar, please give us the E-mail/Fax/Cell/Phone no. we will contact them and your one will be equal to Ten. Second Saturday in May, we plan to organize a dance in Cuncolim with the help of our Goa committee, spearheaded by Mr Filonio Vaz, once again elected Chairman of the Cuncolim Municipal Council. Lets' salute him. Do try and make it to Cuncolim, if you can. With the blessing of our Lady of Health, Cuncolkars, Trustees, the Managing Committees and well-wishers we have traveled this long journey as one family, generation after generation, working towards the social upliftment of Cuncolkars in Mumbai and Goa. In this current scenario, finance may be hard to come by, but the generosity of Cuncolkars is famed throughout Goa and overseas and it is this generosity we are counting on. We look forward to your valuable contribution through political and administration contacts, sponsorships and financial help to meet all our goals.
