The President Speaks...

Emidio F. Monteiro
President of Carnival Committee (2003)
- His message in the SECASA 2003 bulletin -

All "Honrad Zunvenkars", specially as cultivators of our popular "Bhenddes".

When a group of us decided to participate in the Traditional category of the Carnival Parade in differnt towns of Goa, in spite of opposition and criticism form disgruntled elements, we opted for the concept of vegetation with "Bhenddes" as prime product and the slogan "Be Vegetarian For Healthy Living" which ultimately conquered the cities of Panjim, Mapuca and Vasco and we deservingly got the 1st prize, while in Margao we had to be content with the 2nd prize.

The large number of participants in ur floats which constituted an impressive number of females, and the original music, is something for all of us to remember for years. All this was possible due to the generous donations from all our villagers.

The historic achievement has proved beyond doubt that we Zunvenkar can achieve anything in spite af all sorts of odds.

Let us keep marching with this spirit under the banner of "St. Estevam Cultural and Social Association".
