Former Navy Seal, Ryan “Birdman” Parrott, August 18, at The Laurel The Grapevine Chamber of Commerce is proud to have Ryan “Birdman” Parrott, Former Navy Seal and Founder, President & CEO of Sons of the Flag, speak at the next Membership Luncheon, August 18, at The Laurel in Grapevine, sponsored by Wells Fargo – Grapevine Main and catered by Baker’s Ribs. Ryan served eight years as a U.S. Navy SEAL, attached to Team SEVEN, completing three combat tours to Iraq. In 2005, Ryan was riding atop a Humvee manning the turret gun in enemy territory, when his vehicle was hit by an improvised explosive device (IED), causing a flash
fire and throwing him from the vehicle. Ryan regained composure with his face and arms on fire, and witnessed his fellow team members suffer devastating burn and blast injuries. After completing his service, Ryan moved to Dallas. Meeting other Veterans in the area, some of whom suffered serious burn injuries, Ryan became discouraged that Veteran Burn Survivors were not benefitting from advancements in the area of burns in the same way that amputees benefit from incredible advancements in prosthetics.

Sons of the Flag, a nonprofit organization, founded in 2012, is vigilantly committed to supporting military, first responders, and civilian burn survivors by providing funding for innovative research, fellowships for doctors to further their training in treating burn survivors, educational opportunities, and support for those impacted by a traumatic burn. To that end, Sons of the Continued on page 2

The Grapevine Chamber’s Business Insight Series continues Friday, August 26, at The Courtyard/TownePlace Suites by Marriot in Grapevine, with Carlos Merla, Master Certified Executive Coach / Trainer, speaking on the topic, Building Cultural Awareness and Competency. In this very interactive session, you will learn the importance of understanding culture and how to become fully aware of the diversity of cultures around us. We all live and work in a culturally diverse world, and many times we neglect the opportunities and possibilities this world offers us. You will learn how cultural awareness, knowledge and skill creates your cultural competency and how to use this skill to your advantage.
During this session you will learn: • The Impact from “Cultural Profiling” - How perceptions are made based on how people look and how people look at you • Foundations of Culture Identity – Defining traditional cultures, subcultures, and universal Cultures • Critical Aspects of Cultural Competency – Building your knowledge of cultural awareness, knowledge and skill • Creating a Working Culture – The responsibility to create the culture in your working environment to influence the changing demographics • “Core Events of Cultural Awareness” – Tales of awareness and cultural competency, along with how to appropriately understand and respond to cultural uniqueness The Business Insight Series is designed for individual employees, managers or business owners who are interested in improving or developing their business skills. Check-in and registration is from 7:30 – 8 a.m. and the program is from 8 – 9:30 a.m. Cost is $25 for Chamber members and $30 for non-members. Register online at www.GrapevineChamber. org or call (817) 481-1522. Registration is required.

Don’t play golf? There’s still a spot for you
at the 37th Annual Grapevine Chamber Golf Classic, Oct. 3
It may be summer now, but it’s already time to start thinking about some of the Grapevine Chamber’s fall events, including the 37th Annual Grapevine Chamber Golf Classic, October 3, at the Grapevine Golf Course. You might think a golf tournament is only for those who play golf. Well, you’d be WRONG!
Here’s all the ways you can be involved in the golf tournament: • Play in the tournament - Morning and afternoon teams still available, but we will sell out! • Be a tournament sponsor – Complete sponsor listings are below, but being a tee box sponsor is a great way to actually meet the players in the tournament by being out on the course! • Volunteer – It’s already confirmed to be a beautiful October day. So come and spend a morning or afternoon out on the course, meet some Chamber members and help us make the tournament a success!

Proceeds from the concert benefit local children, through school supplies, and senior adults, by fulfilling Christmas wishes during the holiday season. Our local volunteer effort is Saturday, August 6. We will be partnering with GCISD’s Back to School Fair. Due to the hard work of our members and community attending our fundraising efforts, including the Great Taste of Grapevine and the Holiday Hoedown, we were able to purchase $30,000 in school supplies for 1,200 deserving GCISD students. At the Back to School Fair, our volunteers will be distributing school supplies and walking with families through the event. Thank you to Lauren Clark with EPI (Educational Products Inc.) for their donation of Women’s Division T-Shirts again this year for this service event.
