GYP Luncheon
This year, the Grapevine Chamber is partnering with the Colleyville Chamber to host a very special luncheon in April. On April 14th at Hilton DFW Lakes Executive Conference Center, the Chambers will be celebrating the "Teachers of the Year" for GCISD. It has been a crazy couple of years and we ALL know how hard it's been to shift our processes for our businesses...imagine doing that for 13,000 students! Every year, each campus selects a Teacher of the Year, as well as a Paraprofessional of the Year within our school district. They celebrate them on their individual campus, and then select both an Elementary and a Secondary Teacher of the Year to "compete" within our region, and then at state levels. There are also other recognitions including employees of the year such as Nursing, Transportation, Nutrition Services, etc. This year, we've invited GCISD to bring all of their principals, teachers of the year and employees of the year to our April luncheon so that our business community can also recognize them! Additionally, they will use this opportunity to announce to all attending the Elementary & Secondary Teachers of the Year! Sponsorships opportunities are available and start at $100. To become a sponsor of the luncheon, email RaDonna at radonna@grapevinechamber.org. The cost to attend the luncheon is $25 with a reservation by 5 p.m., Tuesday, April 12th, or $40 after that date. Reservations can be made by visiting the Chamber website events page, contacting us at (817) 4811522, or emailing info@grapevinechamber.org.

Spring is finally here and with it comes a sense of a fresh start, a chance to try something new. Spring is brimming with new possibilities and is my favorite season where I try to explore something new both personally and professionally. When I think about new ways to approach my business, I often start with identifying a potential new audience and how to get my message to them, not always an easy task. Did you know that there is a potentially new, unexplored group of people who are poised to hear your message? That group is your fellow Grapevine Chamber business members. As a Grapevine Chamber member, you have the opportunity to provide a discount, promotional offer or any other enticing offer to other chamber members through their online program called “Hot Deals” through the Chamber’ website. You only have to take a few moments to go online using your login and password to set it up. There are people waiting to hear from you! For additional details on how to post your offer, feel free to contact John at John@GrapevineChamber.org, Robert at Robert@GrapevineChamber.org or Robyn at Robyn@GrapevineChamber.org. Your chamber staff is here for you and your business, and they are more than happy to assist you in finding ways to expand your business reach.

"I have absolutely fallen in love with Grapevine. Moving to the North Texas area last year has been a challenge, but one that I have embraced with every step along the way. Being able to serve as an Ambassador for the Five Star Accredited Grapevine Chamber of Commerce, as well as serve the people of Grapevine wanting to get a jumpstart on their financial future, has been nothing short of amazing. The relationships I have made in this chamber and this city will be relationships that I can trust will be there twenty years down the road. It is my passion to get to know people and offer assistance in any way I can. Building a business in Grapevine has been the best decision I have made so far, and it was easy to see how dynamic the Grapevine Chamber is within the first few events I attended. I am humbled by how involved this organization is within the community, and I am thankful that I can be even a small part of it. As a graduate of Oklahoma State University, I wasn’t completely sure what my next step was, but I knew it had to be in the DFW Metroplex. I am confident that I chose the most exciting, efficient and entertaining place to grow as a professional and as a person."

WOMEN'S DIVISION NEWS What an exciting time for the Women’s Division of the Grapevine Chamber. As we roll into April, we are working hard and preparing for the 26th Annual Great Taste of Grapevine to be held April 21st at the Courtyard Dallas DFW Airport North/Grapevine. Bring your friends and come enjoy food tastings from some of Grapevine’s finest restaurants. There will be food, drink, music, and much more including a local Grapevine winery wine pull and a Raffle for a wagon full of beer, whiskey and more. This is one of the largest fundraisers hosted by the Women’s Division. All proceeds go toward purchasing school supplies for a special group of GCISD students. Please consider attending this community wide event. We had a great March luncheon where we learned about House of Shine and how we could find our Shine. Our next luncheon is Tuesday April 12th at the Blankenship Business Center with Nash Farm presenting our program. We would love to have you attend this luncheon where you can learn something new about Nash Farm. Until next time, stay safe and healthy.
