It’s been a wild ride since mid March….but the City of Grapevine and YOUR Chamber of Commerce staff are all back in the office and open for business, working to serve you! We still have a couple of ZOOM Committee meetings (I have started calling it the “Z” Word) but are quickly and safely resuming our in person meetings. Your Board of Directors have been back the last two months, meeting at the Blankenship Business Center and working hard to finish 2020 strong.
We had the opportunity to celebrate Leadership Grapevine graduation last month at our first in person luncheon since February at the Convention Center, while practicing social distancing in seating and service. Congratulations to our graduates! If you or one of your employees are interested in applying for next year’s class, we are now taking applications. The class fills up quickly, so don’t delay. It is a wonderful way to experience the inner workings of Grapevine and our region – from tourism and hospitality, to transportation, health and city services, as well as several other areas that make this region a great place to live and work. As we wade into a post COVID-19 world, I am proud to see citizens of Grapevine anxious to safely get back together. As Mayor Tate has said, ‘Your local retailers and
favorite watering holes are open and waiting for you.’
Mr. Big has enjoyed resuming his walks on Main Street and he encourages you to join him…Shop often and shop Grapevine!
