If you like pancakes then, get ready ‘cause here they come! The Cass Tech Alumni Association will hold its 19th Annual Pancake Breakfast on Saturday, February 12, 2005 from 9 a.m. until noon in the second floor cafeteria of the school.

 If you’re an alumnus, student, staff member or a Cass supporter, make sure you’re there because there won’t be anymore pancake breakfasts….at least not at the old school. This will be the last chance to walk the halls of ‘Old Cass’ at the breakfast. It’s a truly special event where you can renew old acquaintances, flip through year books, network, swap stories, shoot photos and videos, take the tours while you reminisce about the time you spent there and of course consume great quantities of pancakes and other breakfast items. All for a good cause, the event is the Association’s annual fundraiser. Tickets are only $8.00 in advance and $10.00 at the door. For ticket information contact LaShawnda at ldwrice@aol.com or call 313-980-8910. If you’re a vendor, display your wares. Just email stephanieljones@sbcglobal.net for the table price.



Commitment is the word that best describes the members of the Pasteur Elementary School Alumni Foundation. Over the past 6 years, they have provided each of the students promoted to Middle school with a dictionary. They’ve also given three, $1,000 scholarships to Pasteur/Mumford graduates. All three are now students at Eastern Michigan University. And then of course there’s the time they spend tutoring Pasteur students in the name of helping to improve student achievement. But most recently, they donated an electronic scoreboard for basketball games, six visual math teaching programs, a printer for the computer used for the lower grades and two more Leap-Frog electronic reading programs. The Alumni may be gone but they’ve certainly not forgotten the staff and students at Pasteur. 


The Board of Directors of the Detroit Central High School Alumni Association made Christmas a little nicer for two Central Students. Each received a gift of $100 to use as they pleased. It was the Associations way of bringing a little Christmas Cheer into the lives of less fortunate students.
