The Earth Angels, a high-energy 
performing arts group comprised 
of talented young Metro Detroiters, 
got a big surprise after their recent 
toe-tapping, finger-snapping con-
cert at Jewish Senior Life’s Meer 
Apartments on Sept. 10. 
At the conclusion of the show, the 
appreciative residents presented the 
entertainers with a check for $500 
toward the purchase of a new trailer 

needed to transport their costumes 
and props. Bonnie Murphy, who 
volunteers her time to promote and 
schedule appearances for the Earth 
Angels, a nonprofit organization, 
told residents that they were “the 
best audience in the whole wide 
world.” 
WXYZ-TV’s multimedia journal-
ist Faraz Javed was also at the event 
filming a television news story.
