ANGELS� NIGHT PATROLS START MONDAY AT 6 PM

DETROIT�Angels� Night patrols continue today at 6 p.m. Volunteers will report to one of the five Neighborhood City Hall (NCH) locations across the city to receive their patrol assignment, flashlight, and the flashing yellow light for their vehicle.

�It�s time to celebrate the single largest volunteer event in the country,� said Mayor Kwame M. Kilpatrick. �This is always an exciting time of the year for Detroiters. It�s no longer as much about protecting our city from burning down, as it is a chance for the community to come together and share their love for Detroit.�

On average, 60,000 people sign-up annually to turn on their porch lights, watch vacant structures, and patrol neighborhoods on October 29, 30, and 31.

�Our volunteer numbers have been strong again this year,� said Akua Porter, Director of the Mayor�s Neighborhood City Halls. �We won�t have final numbers until the end of three nights, but I believe we will at least meet if not exceed last year�s totals.�

Mayor Kilpatrick has called his administration�s volunteer recruitment efforts tireless. During the month of October Administration officials visit community meetings and churches, go door-to-door, and new this year was the Boooo! Ball coordinated by First Lady Carlita E. Kilpatrick.

At this late date, the best way to volunteer for Angels� Night would be to arrive at one of the five neighborhood City Hall Offices at 6 p.m. on Oct. 29, 30, or 31, however those interested can still register at 313-224-4415 or logging on to www.Angelsnight.org
