Can I Make a Difference?
The answer is YES! The 30th Annual Main Street Days was a success because of YOU! We greatly appreciate those who were able to volunteer in the Grapevine Chamber’s Concession Trailer and Beer Booth. My family and I always have such a great time serving together at Main Street Days and GrapeFest. I made a commitment a long time ago to make serving a priority, and I am often reminded of a quote I
heard from a news anchor: “It’s easy to make a buck. It’s a lot tougher to make a difference.” - Tom Brokaw It’s so true. If you’re like me, you have a lot of events competing for a slot on your calendar. As soon as I commit to something, I have about five other obligations that seem to pop up. The reality is most things can and will wait. Helping others cannot. Take advantage of the opportunities to serve and promote your business through the Grapevine Chamber. I look forward to seeing each of you at our Monthly Membership Luncheon, June 26, 11:30 a.m. – 1
