| Please see flyer image below. You are cordially invited to attend a celebration of the success of our first Florida All People’s Day Diversity Festival. We had originally planned to make this a beach party; but a wonderful opportunity to join together with other artists while helping a Haiti relief fund was just too good to pass up. This free joint event will take place on Sunday May 2 from 4:00 to 8:00 PM, at 115 NE 4th Ave and 1st Street in Delray Beach. The event will feature live entertainment by Leo Casino, a Grammy-nominated saxophonist, composer and activist who reaches people through his jazz music. Leo Casino’s son, Dr. Leo Casino’s III is a Neurosurgeon at Jackson Hospital in Miami, the first US Hospital to send Physicians to Haiti. Dr. Leo Casino III and his associates are planning to build a more stable, earthquake-resilient Hospital in Port-au-Prince. This growing group is determined to work 24/7 to accomplish this goal. Those who would like to contribute to this cause can do so by purchasing a music video, a $5 dinner, or making a larger donation. Artists and musicians will have an opportunity to entertain and/or be entertained. Please bring a chair. See you there!

In 1997 I had the opportunity to play with Mr. Leo Casino ,when he was playing at the Taurus and his drummer didn’t show up that night!There I was and played that night with his band. I had later an opportunity to play with him again! but I can tell you that night was a nightmare, because |
| being out of playing drums for the last past 7 years, I lost the consistence needed when you play drums. On the next morning my all body was hurting me like an 80 years old man. Today, if I’m back in the music scene is because that night I got the feeling that music was calling me back. I’m more than grateful to Leo Casino, who made me play the drums again. |
