[Nfbf-l] The 2009 NFB Convention is History!

[Carlos J montas]

Good morning to all of you. This is Carlos J Montas. I just wanted to echo 
what President Hicks had to say about the convention. It really was a great 
success. Although I sat with Louisiana, because of my responsibilities with 
the Louisiana center for the blind, my hart is still with all of you in 
Florida. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Rachel 
Jacobs on her national scholarship. Dr. Mauer's  banquet address was 
inspiring,and challenging. I want to propose that all of us in Florida work 
together in our State to put are differences aside and continue to push are 
agenda for the betterment of life of all blind Floridian's  .
