3RD ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PARTY 2008

Our 3rd annual Christmas party was a huge success thanks to all the people who showed up and the hard work and donations by our patrons.
Christmas has always been a special time of year for most of us back home in GOA.A time to recollect days gone by, celebrate the Greatest Gift of all and meet with family and friends.
It was even greater to make Christmas happen in the USA a home away from home .
Christmas celebrations started with a midnight mass followed by a party at Sitara restaurant(a huge thanks to the owner and management at sitara).The party started at 2am with cake cutting and a champagne toast followed with some good hours of dancing and bingo(housie).The party ended at 8am .We look forward to more fun filled Christmas celebrations ahead of us.
