Although we are a political blog, this is also a community blog and we often find worthy events and projects to talk about.

A young man named Alden Hodgdon from St. Jean de Lestonnac Catholic School in Tustin, wrote and asked if I would support their next big fundraising event.

I was recently informed by my head principal Sister Sharon Lamprecht that we will be hosting the “TNT Dunk Squad,” this coming Thursday, February 2, 2012. Sister Sharon was hoping to get the word out about this group. The TNT Dunk Squad not only does acrobatic tricks and basketball stunts, but motivational speaking for kids as well. We are looking forward to hosting them and I was hoping for your support to help announce this program on your blog.

So,  here it is. For those of you who are old enough to remember, The TNT Dunk Squad is like a hip Harlem Globetrotters. They are based in Pasadena California and add acrobatics to basketball playing. They have appeared at Los Angeles Clippers, the Lakers and other NBA basketball venues. To say they are a crowd pleaser is an understatement.

From their press release:

The TNT Dunk Squad is an electrifying slam dunk entertainment show that brings a positive message into local schools. These professional daredevils combine high flying aerial stunts with spectacular slam dunks and unmatched showmanship.

This is a great opportunity to see some great action on the basketball court. It is sure to please everyone, even if basketball is not your forte.
