Evrod Cassimy: I am so thankful. A huge thank you to everyone who came out to NEWZIC: A Cass Tech Fundraiser on Friday, Nov. 15th. The concert fundraiser was incredible! We had about 500 people there and raised just over $27,000!

The kids were amazing and I certainly enjoyed performing that night. We had students from theater, dance, band, orchestra, 3D art, harp and vocal and the choir there to perform.
Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon was there to speak about his experience as a Cass Tech alumni. BET’s Ed Gordon helped me close the event by announcing a donation to the school. It was so much fun all around and I’m also so excited that my new album, Just Evrod, is finally here! I hope you’ve gotten a chance to check it out.
Happy Monday to you by the way! A new week, and we’ve got some news in the weather department. Temperatures could be going up come Thanksgiving. Speaking of which, can you believe we are about a week and a half out from the holiday?! It’ll be here before you know it. I gotta get my Patti pie!!
I hope you have a great week. Be sure to join us for another great Tasty Tuesday! See ya in the morning!
