Community rallies for holiday charity and farewell celebration

Euless City Council members gathered on December 10, 2024, to discuss community initiatives and celebrate the contributions of long-serving staff members. A key highlight of the meeting was the acknowledgment of Loretta's impactful tenure, as she prepares to transition her responsibilities to Chris. Council members expressed confidence in the continuity of service, reassuring residents that their needs will continue to be met.

In a spirit of community engagement, the council reminded residents of upcoming charitable events. One notable initiative is a bell-ringing event at Kroger on Saturday, where council members will collect donations for local citizens in need. Residents are encouraged to join in and contribute, either by donating in person or online.

Additionally, the council promoted a festive "Swim with Santa" event scheduled for Friday night, with tickets still available for families looking to enjoy a holiday-themed outing.

The meeting also marked a farewell to Wes, a dedicated council member who is retiring after 13 years of service. A celebration in his honor is planned for December 18, recognizing his commitment to the community.

As the holiday season approaches, the council invited residents to participate in Christmas caroling on Thursday, fostering a sense of togetherness and joy. The meeting concluded with warm wishes for a Merry Christmas and safe holidays, emphasizing the importance of community spirit during this festive time.
