MESSAGE FROM ANTHONY MENDES - 1982/1983/1992
As Tanzanite's first President, it makes me proud to

was originated in 1982 by Arnold Mendes continue to
2003 and hope it continues beyond.

MESSAGE FROM ALVITO FERNANDES - 1995
This year 2003 and the past year, many families, new
and old Canadians are going through hard times,
physically, socially and even financially.
I ask all Tanzanians to be a Friend, a Neighbor and
help your country brothers and sisters whenever you
can. Your good works will be remembered when you
pass from this earth.
Remember
YESTERDAY, dream about
TOMORROW but live
TODAY.
Alvito Fernandes

MESSAGE FROM TERENCE PEREIRA - 1984
On the occasion of our twenty-first anniversary, I
send greetings and good wishes to the President and
members of the Tanzanite Committee and to all
ex-Tanzanians participating in this year’s picnic and
gala dance.
It is encouraging and gratifying to see younger
ex-Tanzanians pick up and carry the torch that was lit
by the initiative and drive of Pop Mendes. May it
never be extinguished.
Terence Pereira
