Running for School Board of Education

by David N. Rahni (not verified) on Fri May 15, 2009 01:08 PM PDT

Dear Ostadan Jahanshah, Mohammad, Daruis, Ben as above and many other friends who have called or wrote,

Irrespective of the outcome, two very important development have already heartened me and my steadfast determination to continue plowing along the rough terrains to prepare it for our subsequent children to build the superhighways of civic activities on it soon:

1. It is gratifying with much appreciation and humility to hear such substantive words of encouragement and support from so very many of my friends, colleagues and liaisons nationwide, especially from my Irooni compatriots.

2. Although at times local US politics are as equally if not more tumultuous with defined and thus defended turfs and territories, suffice it to report back to my supporters that my positions statement on educational benchmarks of the highest caliber and fiscal prudence is already on the table, whereby the next Board of Education has no choice but to favorably respond to most recommendations. a nearly cost cutting for nearly $300,000 is already in the works.

Once again, I thank everyone and reassure you that more than before, I shall continue providing gratis input into advancing our community in diaspora and to advocate for people, culture, history and the nation.

Fondly,

David Rahni

I have known Professor Rahni for years and followed his writings in print and online.

We have common friends here in Dallas, Texas area and he is my bacheh mahal and hails from my home town of Shemiran (the foothills of Alborz near Evin Darakeh, north of Tehran).

I wish Dr. Rahni all the success.
