Exciting Developments in the Chamber to Begin the Year I always look forward to this time of year, when we see so much new before our eyes. Warmer temperatures and fresh green grass makes us all feel
better. The Grapevine Chamber of Commerce has developed one of those new exciting things with our Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!). YEA! is an opportunity that your Board of Directors support to provide our young people the opportunity

YEA! is a program developed by the University of Rochester which opens up business opportunities for middle school to high school aged young people. The YEA! participants learn all aspects of business ownership from setting up their company structure to how to sell and market their products. They have to complete a business & financial plan to present to investors to receive funding. Another key component is that each YEA! member has to fund a part of their business with their own money. They have to put skin in the game. This program provides a great learning experience for these

Specifically you will learn: • What being accountable to yourself means and how to do it • The importance of focus and what to focus on • The success versus failure dichotomy and how to use it to propel yourself upward • How to use competitiveness to create win-win situations • A mental exercise you can do that will put you in a successful state of mind every time How is your mental game? Could it use a pep talk and some training? If so, come listen to Business Coach and Consultant, Kim Farbisz at the May Leadership Breakfast meeting. Come polish up your mental game and be able to perform your best when it matters most! Kim Farbisz is a Certified Performance Intelligence Coach with 14 years of domestic and international coaching, business, consulting, and program management experience.

The program has named Texas
Health Southlake to its top 10 list multiple times, but this is the first time the hospital has won the top spot. “Our top priority is providing the best possible healthcare, and one critical element in doing so is ensuring all of our employees are enthusiastic about coming to work and doing their best for our patients each and every day,” said Traci Bernard, president of Texas Health Southlake. “This honor is both humbling and rewarding, and we feel honored to have been recognized.” Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southlake is a fully-accredited acute care facility, located at 1545 E.

Grapevine Chamber of Commerce Women’s Division
The Women’s Division started the month off with our first fundraising event of the year – Great Taste of Grapevine. It took place on Thursday, April 11th at a new venue, the Embassy Suites Outdoor World, and boy what a grand time it was!

We were also blessed with several Gourmet, Taste Bite and In-Kind sponsors. This year we had a fabulous line up of Chamber member restaurants including: Aleda’s Pizza, Bob’s Steak & Chop House, Boi Na Braza Brazilian Steak House, Brio Tuscan Grille, Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Chill Sports Bar & Grill, Cliff’s Star Grill, Dino’s Steak and Claw House, eaZi’s Market Bakery, Embassy Suites Grill, Esparza’s Restaurante Mexicano, Flips Patio Grill, Gingerine Thai Fresh Asian, Joe’s Crabshack, La Madeleine, McAlister’s Deli, Mi Dia From Scratch, Napoli’s Italian Café & Confectionery, Outback Steakhouse, red robin, Silver fox Steakhouse, The Back Porch Grill & Tavern, Tribeca Americana Bistro & Lounge, Weinberger’s Deli and Winewood.

Many guests commented that they loved the courtyard environment at Embassy Suites. A huge “thank you” goes out to Emily McRoberts of Homestead Winery who chaired the event. Emily and her team did a fabulous job. Lastly regarding Great Taste – the winning restaurants: we had 3 awards that were determined by a panel of judges and the People’s Choice Award, voted by the attendees, participating by ballot on their Scavenger Hunt restaurant map.
The winners were:
Best Small Restaurant – Chill Sports Bar & Grill Best Medium Restaurant – eaZi’s Market Bakery Best Large Restaurant – Embassy Suites Grill People’s Choice Award – Chill Sports Bar & Grill
Congratulations to all of our winners! It was a great evening full of good times and great food all benefitting our well-deserving School Supplies for Kids and Christmas Spirit for Senior Citizens projects. Again, thank you to all who supported by attending, volunteering, participating and/or sponsoring. We couldn’t meet these needs without you. The following week was our monthly luncheon where we were treated to a fabulous program by Jason Keller of the Grapevine Police Department. He gave us an overview of safety and awareness and the ladies were so interested we finally had to end the question and answer section. We really appreciate Jason coming out to speak to us as well as the fine work that our Police Department does on a daily basis. The next monthly Women’s Division meeting will be Tuesday, May 21st and will feature Dawn Owens, owner of City Florist, who will offer floral arranging ideas and tips.
