Great Events this Fall
October begins the last quarter of my year as the Chair of the Grapevine Chamber. While the temperatures may feel like it’s still in the heart of summer, fall has officially begun, as have all of the opportunities that this organization has in place to help our businesses grow. First up is the 40th Annual Grapevine Golf Tournament. Paul Slechta and his committee are working together to provide the teams, volunteers and sponsors who support this event with a great day of golf, networking and marketing their businesses all while supporting the Chamber. We also have the North Texas Regional Job Fair. In today’s business climate – this event brings together employers and job seekers who will help make our workforce stronger. Thanks to all of the volunteers who have helped coordinate this event with the Chamber staff. While your business membership covers the marketing and advertising that is done in our directory and website, as well as the referrals made daily by staff, the face to face events, committees, networking and community involvement is a way to expand your reach for business. Whether you come to a luncheon, mixer or ribbon cutting – each handshake and introduction is an opportunity for you and your business to grow and prosper. Take advantage of what our chamber has to offer this fall!
