IGreetings From Your Mayor
Dear Citizens,
Are you ready for the Arbor Daze festival in
April? We've planned for one of the best festivals
ever, with a new site which provides additional
space for vendors, volunteers and festival visitors.
The Sunday concerts are scheduled for the after-
noon, versus previous years with evening concerts,
allowing for families to enjoy the day and rest
before the next week. I do want to be first to tell you
that there is a small parking fee of $3.00, but all
cars will be able to park on the premises this year.
We're still proud that Arbor Daze is a free, family-
oriented festival with no entry fees or concert fees
(with a ticket). And the City of Euless thanks our
generous sponsors for allowing us to continue in
this tradition.
Have you visited our library recently? Although
most of Euless' citizens have visited the Euless Public
Library, I occasionally hear someone say they
have never been in the library. We have one of
the finest libraries in the state and it was voted the
best in Northeast Tarrant County. Our new Library
Administrator, JoAnn Rogers, and her staff have
made many exciting plans for the library's future.
The Euless Library Foundation added another
beautiful bronze statue to the library grounds
called, "It was just yesterday." The Foundation has
been so generous to the city by donating two library
statues. Their next meeting is May 10, 7:00 p.m., in
the library conference room and anyone is invited
to attend.
Have you driven down Westpark Way since its
completion? It is an excellent roadway for our city
and those travelling through it. We recognize the
awful traffic congestion when construction is tran-
spiring, but the rewards are worth it. We anticipate
E U L E S S
Highway 157 to be com-
pleted by the end of 1999.
Both Police and Fire
Departments have sev-
eral programs that bene-
fit our citizens and are a
free public service for resi-
dents. The police offer a
Home Security check while the
Fre Department will check a home for fire safety.
The security and comfort is well worth the time and
effort.
A class of second graders wrote me recently say-
ing they could not enjoy their recess time on their
school playground because of all the animal "mess"
left on the grounds. I promised to place a notice of
our animal code violations in the newsletter. Please
take notice and let's keep our parks and play-
grounds clean for our children and all citizens.
Don't forget the Fuller House is a museum
chronicling Euless' history and that it is open the
second Saturday each month, from 1-5 p.m. There
is no entry fee to the museum. The Fuller House is
also available for small parties and receptions.
Please remember that Saturday, May 1, 1999,
is election day. Elections will be held in the meet-
ing room of the Euless Library this year, not at
Midway Recreation Center. School board elections
and municipal elections are held at the same place.
We encourage you to exercise your right to vote
because every vote truly does count.
Together we are Building a Better Tomorrow.

look far to find a replacement for
City Manager Tom Hart, who is

we desired in a leader to manage the City of
Euless," said Mayor Mary Lib Saleh. "He
already knew the integral parts of the city
and what the Council expects from the City
Manager and staff. We could not have asked
for a better manager to step in and continue
where Tom Hart left off."

Much Ado About
the Euless Public
Library
With serenading music, unique cof-
fees and a peaceful aquarium, Euless
Public Library is more than the average
place to check out books. Although books
are the predominant source in the library,
Internet access, a specialized genealogy area, current magazines, and video rentals
are also available to enhance one's experience.
The library offers many opportunities to become involved including the Let's
Talk about Books group, which meets the first Tuesday of each month at 1:30 p.m.
in the library. Former Library Manager Betty Yarbrough, who recently retired
after twenty years, is planning on participating with this fun group. The group is
open to anyone and the only requirement is that you share what books you have
been reading.
For additional information about the Euless Public Library, call 685-1679.

New Library
Administrator
Bound for
Success
With Euless Public Library
being voted one of the Best
Public Libraries in NE
Tarrant County, it's no
wonder JoAnn Rogers couldn't
wait to tackle her new role as Euless Library
Administrator. When Euless Library
Manager Betty Yarbrough retired after 20
years of service with Euless, JoAnn Rogers
was selected as her replacement and is
enjoying her first few months at the Euless
Public Library.
" I have been involved with Library
Administration for over 25 years at varying
capacities and have always thought Euless
was very innovative in their outreach
programs and activities," said JoAnn
Rogers, Library Administrator. "The staff
is really wonderful and of course, I love
coming to work in this beautiful new facili-
ty. The potential for Euless Public Library is
limitless!"
Ms. Rogers has a Master of Library
Science degree from Texas Woman's Uni-
versity. She has worked in various libraries
throughout Dallas and Fort Worth, includ-
ing both Hurst and Bedford libraries. Ms.
Rogers even started a bookmobile service
in Tyler, Texas, from a gymnasium at Tyler
State College. She is a member of the
Texas Library Association, Texas Woman's
University Library Alumni Board and the
Euless Library Foundation. She has been
honored with the ALA Shirley Olofson
Award, which is given to an outstanding
new librarian.
Ms. Rogers is looking forward to
initiating new programs in the library to
encourage more participation and visitor
frequency from the community. She is also
anticipating expanding existing services
such as the book drop, available books and
periodicals, and readership programs.
Residents are encouraged to introduce
themselves to JoAnn Rogers on their
next visit to the Euless Public Library.

Euless Citizens On Patrol
he Euless Police Department
has expanded the role of the
Citizens Police Academy Alumni
Association's Citizens On Patrol
(C O P) program. The C O P volunteers
have accepted additional responsibilities,
therefore, residents will begin seeing the
fruits of their volunteer efforts. These dedi-
cated Euless residents have received over
45 hours of training and are prepared to
assist the community in many new and
exciting ways. Residents may recognize
C O P volunteers as they patrol the streets
in a C O P car, which is marked with the
Citizens On Patrol lettering, an amber light
bar and a spotlight.
One initiative of the C O P volunteers
will be to begin a survey of
handicapped parking spaces in
the city to ensure that all of the
handicapped spaces are well
marked and signed properly.
Another important initiative
is they will assist the police
department by monitoring the
Citizens ..

also work at the direction of the Police

If you see a C O P car and/ or volunteers
of the C O P program, please remember
that they are an extension of the Euless
Police Department and are helping
to make the community a safer place
to live. One of the police depart-
ment's goals is that the C O P pro-
gram will serve as an example of how
the police and the community can
work together to reduce crime
and make Euless an even safer place
to live.

THE ROOTS OF ARBOR DAZE
Initially designed as an event to rally
support for Euless' commitment to beautifi-
cation, Arbor Daze was something of a
dream for Euless City Officials that has far
exceeded what anyone thought would
become a reality. The City of Euless is
proud to have expanded the once small
town event into a 100,000+ family festival
that attracts people from across the state of
Texas and beyond.
As Euless City Officials pledged to its
citizens in 1957 that a priority would be
placed on beautification efforts, the
Community Services Department designed
an event that would kick-off the city's new
initiative. Thus came the "How to Grow
Lawn and Garden Show," which included
free seminars provided by lawn and garden
experts, almost 30 lawn and garden ven-
dors, and a Volkswagen show The event
was held in the city gymnasium and was a
nonalcoholic, free family festival. Enter-
tainment was provided by the Euless Spice
of Life Kitchen Band, who performed on a
flatbed trailer for approximately 3,500
people.
City Officials deemed the event a suc-
cess and decided to make it an annual
event, with its focus always remaining on
the importance of trees and the beautifica-
tion of the city. However, Euless Officials
still dreamed of a larger, more family-
oriented event that would attract crowds
page 6
nationally recognized festival.
From Leisure Fair, the name Arbor
Daze evolved which quickly brought the
focus of the festival back to trees yet still
emphasizing the importance of this nonal-
coholic, free family event. The festival
was rooted with the National Arbor Day
Foundation and eventually became one of
the Foundation's major success stories
when Arbor Daze was recognized as the
Best Arbor Day Festival in the Nation in
1994.

while the scout troops and baseball/softball
associations sell food and beverages to
fund their special projects. During the sum-
mer following the annual festival in April,
handicapped high school students begin
preparing the 10,000 trees that will be
given away at the next festival. This not
only helps city staff, but it teaches the
students the importance of volunteering
and the benefit that trees provide the
community.
ARBOR DAZE PLANTS SOLID
ROOTS
From a small beginning, like an acorn,
Arbor Daze has matured into one of the
largest nonalcoholic, free family festivals
in the state of Texas. It has received local
and international awards from organiza-
tions such as the International Festivals and
Events Association, Texas Festivals and
Arbor Daze 1999
Location
Events Association, and was honored as the
Best Arbor Day Festival in the Nation in
1994. Readers of the Fort Worth Star
Telegram voted Arbor Daze their favorite
festival in the area and the Fort Worth
Business Press ranked Arbor Daze as the
fifth largest annual event in Tarrant County.
Arbor Daze 1999 will be held on April
23, 24, 25, at its new location between Bear
Creek Parkway and Fuller -Wiser Road.
The concerts are free but require a ticket,
