Dear Citizens,
Our sizzling
summer days are
with us again,
and with all of
the activities
going on in
Euless, one
might say we are
"sizzling" too. There are so
many things going on this
summer to keep you and your
little ones busy. Please take
advantage of all of the reading
events and concerts at the
Library. Keep their minds
active while staying cool.
Truly a summer treat is to
enjoy an outdoor movie at the
amphitheater in the Villages
of Bear Creek Park or the
"How we Lived Tour" at
historic Heritage Park. All the
details are inside the
newsletter.
The Parks Department has a
number of summer camps
and classes to keep the entire
family in shape and having
fun. You can also keep cool in
one of our three Euless
swimming pools or at Splash
Island.
TOGETHER WE ARE
BUILDING A BETTER
TOMORROW FOR OUR
CITIZENS.
Wireless Emergency Notification System (WENS)
Severe weather can occur at any time.
The City of Euless created the
Wireless Emergency Network Service
when it was discovered that text
messages will transmit when voice
messages would not. In the event of
an emergency, a text message will be
sent to the mobile number and/or
email outlining the nature of the
emergency. With the ability to send
out 25,000 text messages per
minute, this became a valuable
communication tool. The system
will be used for emergencies such as
weather, chemical spills or lost
children. There is no cost to the
subscriber other than fees that cell
phone providers may charge to
receive text messages. To sign up, use
the online form at
www.euless.org/wens or contact the
police department at 817-685-1500.

Citizens on Patrol
The Citizens on Patrol Association in Euless have a mission: To provide the
citizens of Euless a better understanding of the dedication and integrity of the
Police Department. Citizens on Patrol is a non-intervention association. This
requires observing and reporting any offense to the police department,
rather than handling the situation themselves. Volunteers are trained
through hours of seminars, demonstrations, films, and hands-on
participation before they are able to apply to participate in Citizens on Patrol. You too can be an asset
to the Police Department without being a Citizen on Patrol and report any suspicious activity by
calling 9-1-1. If you would like more information about getting involved with Citizens on Patrol
please contact 817-685-1536.

E -Flat Porch
Band Concert
July 9, 7 p.m. .. ••
Euless Library,
201 N. Ector Drive
The E -Flat Porch Band is a small band with
a big sound. The band started on a porch in
McKinney, Texas. Influenced by folk, blues,
early country songwriters, jazz and swing
standards, the band creatively found their
own original sound that they consider
"porch music." They entertain with up to
eight instruments at once while harmoniz-
ing vocals. Instruments include the acoustic
bass, harmonica, cymbal, and a drum -like
instrument of their own design made out of
a wooden soda pop box. This concert will
be unique and enjoyable for all ages. For
more information about the E -Flat Porch
band visit their website www.e-flatters.com.
