[Nfbf-l] congratulations tara

[TaraPrakash]

Thanks Dan and all for the congratulatory messages. I did work hard for it 
but Dan had a harder work to do in terms of writing recommendation letters. 
So our current president deserves a lot of credit. So does our last 
president, her words of encouragement kept me going after initial 
disappointment.
Can't say enough about Dwight's contribution, so won't say much. I started 
feeling confident in NFB events because of him. These events help me 
rediscover myself and reawakened the activist that lies with in us all.
Many senior federationists from Orlando and rest of Florida also urged me 
on.
Thank you all for making it in to a success.

Tara
