- Harlem Ambassadors Bring Their Magic to Milford
The internationally acclaimed Harlem Ambassadors will visit Milford High School on Sunday, November
5th at 4:00 p.m. The stop is part of the group's 2006-2007 tour that is scheduled to cover more than
40 states as well as Canada and Asia. The Harlem Ambassadors offer a unique brand of basketball
featuring dazzling ball-handling tricks, high flying slam dunks and hilarious family comedy routines.
Lade Majic, the Queen of Show Basketball is the creative force behind the success of the Ambassadors.
In her ninth season as player/coach, Lade Majic continues to spread laughs and a positive message for
kids wherever the Ambassadors play.
"At our shows, we want the kids to know they're part of our team, too," Lade Majic said. "We invite the
kids to participate and sit on the bench during the games."
The Ambassadors set themselves apart from other "Harlem" teams by working with local non-profit groups
such as Clermont Educational Opportunities. The mission of Clermont Educational Opportunities is to
provide local youth with the ability to attain scholarship funds that their families otherwise would
not be able to attain. All proceeds from this event will benefit the Last Dollar Grant Scholarship Fund.
Tickets can be purchased from the Clermont Educational Opportunities College
Access Advisors at the following high schools: Amelia, Glen Este, Williamsburg,
Goshen, Clermont Northeastern and Live Oaks Career Center.
Advance Ticket prices are $8.00/adults, $5.00/students and seniors. Tickets purchased at the door will
be $10/adult, $7.00/students and seniors. Kids 3 and under are admitted free.

- Unharvested Ideas are Worthless
Turning great ideas into workable dreams is hard work. A well-thought-through dream
becomes a possibility only after the idea has been crystallized. Harvesting ideas
requires diligence and a process. The five-step process is what Dave Liniger followed
when he had the big idea and converted it into a dream for which one of the most
successful companies in the world emerged. We think it is a terrific template for
harvesting ideas and turning ideas into dreams that can come true. The action
steps for the RE/MAX conversion of idea to dream are simple:
Step 1. Write the idea down and get the words right.
Step 2. Connect the idea to other ideas to expand it to full capacity.
Step 3. Test the idea to ensure it is sellable.
Step 4. Incubate the idea.
Step 5. Call it a dream and share it
