55PGA -Goan Short Story Contest - invitation to participate Deadline For Receiving Entries Is Dec.01/2009. It is often that we hear about people we know who are keen on ensuring that their stories are somehow captured so that these gems can be shared with friends and family over time. Now members of our community have an opportunity to do what they hoped to accomplish but did not have the resources to translate their desires into actionable next steps. Our Book Club leader, Rudi Rodrigues, is a gifted professional who has agreed to help those interested to participate in this interesting project. Click here to view full details. We would hope that those interested may be able to participate. I'm truly excited about this initiative and I'm sure that you will share my enthusiasm. This project is scheduled to proceed soon and we would hope that this provides a venue not only for creativity - capturing Goan culture for posterity.  If you or others have any questions Rudi Rodrigues (his coordinates are provided in the attachment) will be pleased to provide additional details.
