Hi folks ! Just in case you are contemplating on visiting the USA or other U.S. residents folks are not aware of the summer events, herewith is a list of the three picnics organized by the three Goan associations in the eastern USA. 1)Goan Association of Maryland and Virginia- Sunday, June 17 at the Lake Accotink Park in Springfield, Virginia. Contact Maria Paes- email address -paesfam...@gmail.com or Onecia Ribeiro- tel # 301-760-7451. 2)Goan Association of New Jersey- Saturday, July 28 at the Princeton Country Club in West Windsor. Website email address- goanj.com 3)New York City Goan Association- Sunday, August 12 at the Palisades Park in northern New Jersey. website address - commit...@nycgoans.com This list does not include the New England Belt Group which incorporates Massachussetts, Rhode Island, Maine and New Hampshire states. It is not a registered Group and hence information can only be sought thru friends and relatives living in the area and aware of their activities. I do believe that they have a picnic. P.S. The New Jersey GOA picnic is open to members and their non-resident guests. The Maryland and Virginia GOA is also restricted to members; whilst the New York GOA picnic is open. The New Jersey GOA and the New York City GOA have seperate rates for members and non-resident guests , and members and non-members respectively. Please check these restriuctions with your contacts. First World goanetters;Have a Great Summer ! Cheers. Tony Barros. New Jersey, USA
