Californiangoans Easter 2010 Video

The Californiangoans Easter 2010 video has finally been uploaded to YouTube. This video was captured by Mario Rodrigues de Navelim and subsequently given to Savio for editing, hence the delay in uploading it to YouTube. But the memories of that fabulous party is still fresh in our minds as we look forward to yet another great day of fun, festivities, food and Feni. That day is just around the corner and it is the Feast of San Joao ( Saint John the Baptist).

Raffle tickets are still on sale and the draw for fabulous prizes will be held on June 24, 2010 at the San Joao Day celebration.
