    Congrates to the 2008 Managing Committee of the Konkan Singers Club. I wish we have more members coming together as before to enjoy every function organised by the Committee inspite of the present financial situation. The Committee does not let down the members but the members do by refraining from attending it's functions so come one come all and stay united.
