A Little Break From Politics For Some SlamBall!

SlamBall is back for Summer 2008 and this season it has two Arab American players. Nick Shwaery (left) from Florida and Ameer Ismail (right) from Michigan were rookie teammates on the Hombres. They helped the Hombres reach the semi-finals and were one shot away from making the finals.

Nick is a basketball player who earned his graduate education with a basketball scholarship to New York Institute of Technology and Ameer is a football player and an All-American from Western Michigan University . Both of these powerful athletes provided strength to the Hombres’ defense. They beat out hundreds of competitors from around the country for positions on the Hombres’ roster.

Nick, a Web designer, designed the Slamball court where the athletes played. You will be able to see it on CBS later this year. He also created Slamball’s interactive blog

newdominionPAC Dinner With Our Next Governor, Brian Moran

Once again, the newdominionPAC hosted a dinner with a government leader in Virginia. On April 30, we were honored to have as our guest, our friend, Delegate Brian Moran.

To the right is a photo of Delegate Moran with a few of the regulars.

It's always a special time when the newdominionPAC members can get together for good food, good conversation and a little politics. We talk, we eat...wow, did we eat. It was my first time at Me Jana in Arlington. My friend, Saba Shami, is a gracious host and he outdid himself when he selected the restaurant.

It was good to have some time with Delegate Moran to hear his views on the issues of the day and for him to hear ours. You'll be hearing more about Delegate Moran after the November election.
