Home My WebLink About2015-09 Euless TodayTHE OFFICIAL THE ° . TY ° 1015 September PUBLICATION OF EULESSiird 411111 Dear Citizens, If you've lived in Euless any length of time, you've probably heard of the Trinity GAP Club or visited one of their pet fairs. GAP stands for Girls Awareness Program and it's a program designed to give high school girls a positive outlet for their time as well as show them positive alternatives for their lives. A major benefactor of the GAP club has been the Euless Animal Shelter. These young women have made such a huge difference in the lives of so many animals by volunteering at the Euless Animal Shelter, sponsoring animals and holding numerous fund-raisers to help pay for the upkeep of countless abandoned animals. Their work has resulted in the lowering of the euthanasia rate of this shelter and it is a fact that many dogs and cats would not be alive today if not for their efforts. On September 26, they will be holding their annual pet fair and garage sale at Trinity High School. I encourage you to take the opportunity to stop by and support these amazing young women.
