You may remember the last time the Ambassadors were in town in 2007 where they played for a packed gym against our own Seward Bears team…it was a HIT!

*We are still recruiting for the Bears Team. This is a lot of fun and a great way to contribute to our amazing community. Play as much or as little as you would like. Two quarters will be designated for the more serious ball players and the other two will be designated for more ‘fun’ play. Other communities have had school teachers/principals, pastors, mayors…we’d really like to see as much of our community represented as possible! Please contact Maggie if you are interested! mwilkins@cityofseward.net or 224.4054

Thanks and hope to see you courtside Friday!
