HomeMy WebLinkAboutEuless Today 10/20141014 October Dear Citizens, We have lost a valued member of our City Council with the passing of �. Councilmember Glenn Porterfield. Glenn served as a City Councilmember for 15 years and always made thoughtful, deliberate decisions on behalf of the City of Euless. His work experience as a banker was invaluable during budget time and his service on the DFW International Airport Board helped to strengthen our partnership with the airport even more. He loved this community and worked hard to make sure Euless residents maintained a high service level and great quality of life. He especially loved Texas Star Golf Course and would have loved playing on the new greens when the course reopens. The greens are a golfers dream come true. He would have even liked the new bunkers! OFFICIAL PUBN (CATION Of EUUESS Texas Star Golf Course Grand Re -Opening - October 1 We are rolling out the Green Carpet! Texas Star Golf Course invites you to roll a putt onto our plush new MiniVerdeTM greens. We will re -open for play on Wednesday, October 1st. All 18 of our greens have been resurfaced with MiniVerdeTM, the finest ultradwarf Bermuda grass. This hardy grass holds up well under the Texas heat and has become the preferred choice for putting surfaces in southern climates. You will enjoy our reconstructed Premier White crushed quartz sand bunkers - whether you are in them or just looking at them. You will also notice other improvements including leveling and expanding many tee boxes and renovating the water feature on hole # 16. The greens are fast and gorgeous! Take a drive, chip and putt. We know you're going to love the improvements. Come check them out! Euless Today is published by the City of Euless. 201 N.

Fire Prevention Week October 5 - n Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month Did you know that many people don't test their smoke alarms as often as they should? When there is a fire, smoke spreads fast. You need working smoke alarms to give you time to get out. Almost three out of five of reported home fire deaths in 2007 to 2011 resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. Make sure yours are working; test them every month! We urge you to protect your home and family with life- saving technology and planning. The Euless Fire Department S.A.F.E.T.Y. Troop clowns will be presenting their fire safety message to all Euless elementary schools during this time. If you have kids, talk to them about fire safety to help reinforce the message.
