MAYOR KILPATRICK AND FIRST LADY INVITE FAMILIES TO
ATTEND ANGELS� NIGHT BOOO! BALL ON OCTOBER 20
 DETROIT�Mayor
Kwame M. Kilpatrick wants thousands of Detroiters to
participate in Angels� Night, and to help him recruit
volunteers, First Lady Carlita E. Kilpatrick is hosting
the Angels� Night Boooo! Ball on October 20, 4-8p.m. at
the Michigan State Fairgrounds Community Arts Building.
�I want all Detroit families to know that this is an
event for them,� said the First lady. �As the Mayor
works to create the NEXT Detroit, I am helping him by
bringing a �families first� focus to city initiatives,
which is the reason there will be several activities
that parents and children can enjoy together.�
Boooo! Ball activities will include:
1. �Scary-Oke� with Halloween themed music,
2. �Monster Spa� where parents receive mini-massages and
manicures,
3. Fire Safety House and prevention demonstrations by
the Detroit Fire Department,
4. Halloween candy scavenger hunt,
5. Create your own trick or treat bag, and
6. Putt Putt Golf.
The Boooo! Ball is a FREE event. During the four
hours of family fun, the winners of the Angels� Night
oratorical and poster contest will be announced. Light
food and refreshments will be served and there will be
giveaways.
Angels� Night is the single largest volunteer event in
the country. 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.
�Detroit has a very activity volunteer community,� said
Mayor Kilpatrick. �Thanks to the commitment and energy
of the hundreds of thousands of volunteers that have
participated in Angels� Night over the last six years,
Detroit has set the standard for volunteerism in
America.�
Last year, the community�s participation resulted in the
total number of fires over the three day period to be
lower than the 40 fire incidents the fire department
responds to daily.
�Our volunteer recruitment effort is tireless,� said
Mayor Kilpatrick. �We visit community meetings and
churches, go door-to-door, do interviews on television
and radio, and the Boooo! Ball is going to be a fun way
for residents to get engaged in Angels� Night.�
