On Sunday, Nov. 4, the Lake Washington Optimist Club hosted the Harlem Ambassadors professional show basketball team for a night of high-flying slam dunks, hilarious comedy and feel-good family entertainment.

The Harlem Ambassadors would like to extend a special thank you to event organizers Lisa Leo and Andrea Sullivan who planned and promoted the game. The Optimist Alley-Hoops proved to be an energetic, enthusiastic and challenging team and we thank all of the players for their good sportsmanship. The event would not have been possible without the support and generosity of local community sponsors, the Lake Washington Optimist Club members and the event volunteers.

The Harlem Ambassadors thank the community of Redmond for its warm hospitality and look forward to returning to Redmond in the future!

Dale Moss, Harlem Ambassadors president
