Ottawa, Jun 4: The Family Social organized by the Mangalorean Association of Canada (MAC) recently was a remarkable demonstration of organization, pulsating music, delicious food and pure fun.

The event began with MAC President Ronald Fernandes’s address where he highlighted the support of sponsors and selflessness of the volunteers. He also thanked the clergy for their continued spiritual support to the association.

The band and DJ, The Marauders, led by Ralph Privitera and ably supported by Pete Cosgrove, Rick Matten, Dominic DeSouza and Errol DeMello made the event memorable with their fantastic youthful music and singing.

The highlight of the Family Social was the amazing performance by a group of youngsters, whose dance group is called ‘Heartbeats’.  Kudos to the young performers: Irita Karmalkar, Michelle Patrao, Naomi Shankar, Amit Shankar, Rhea Pinto & Shreya Goyal who displayed an energy and enthusiasm parallel to none.  The audience was enthralled as the youth displayed a confidence, agility and a lively spirit that had everyone swinging to the beat of the music.
