The Grapevine Chamber is proud to have legendary Grapevine musician Rocky Gribble & “The Woods” perform at the December 17th Membership Luncheon, sponsored by Baylor Scott & White Grapevine and catered by City Kitchen. The luncheon will be at 11:30 a.m., at the Grapevine Convention Center, and donations of clothing, toys, & food will be collected on behalf of GRACE. The son of a West Texas cotton
farmer, Rocky Gribble’s musical roots began when he first picked up his dad’s guitar at the age of thirteen. Before he turned fourteen, Rocky was making weekly television appearances on a country music show in Lubbock, Texas. His high school years in Post, Texas were dotted with awards recognizing his talents on the guitar. A Bachelor of Arts degree in music from Southern Nazarene University in 1974 would soon follow as Rocky embarked on a career in his first love. His abilities on the electric lead guitar, acoustic rhythm guitar, nylon string classical guitar, five string banjo and mandolin keep him busy contributing to the
music of countless singers and songwriters. Make plans to attend the luncheon at the Grapevine Convention Center, located at 1209 S. Main St. (at the corner of Vine St. & Municipal Way). The cost is $25 with a reservation by 5 p.m., Tuesday, December 15, or $40 after that date. Please note that the late registration and walk-in fee has been increased to $40, so please register early! Reservations can be made by contacting the Grapevine Chamber: 817-481-1522 or info@grapevinechamber.org or visiting the Chamber website’s Events Page. We will see you there!
2020 Accomplishments for our Members: I cannot believe that I am writing my final newsletter for the Grapevine Chamber, and 2020 is drawing to a close. I would say, “Thank God we survived the Year of Toilet Paper”, but I also am very proud to be the head of Your Board of Directors in a strange year
(to say the very least) where so much was achieved despite the obvious challenges faced by our families, businesses, community, state and nation. Following is a recap of 2020 and some of the things that your Chamber staff and Board accomplished this year: • Distributed over 21,000 face masks
