The Grapevine Chamber of Commerce Annual Awards Banquet, presented by Bank of the West, was held on the 28th at The Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center in Grapevine. The event recognizes and celebrates volunteerism and good citizenship in the community. Attendance to this year’s banquet was limited due to COVID concerns but that didn’t dampen sprits…if anything it raised them. 2020 showed us all how important it is to be civically minded and the importance of volunteerism. The extreme nature of our new normal brought out the best in the recognized individuals that were awarded and nominated alike.
Several of the recipients who were honored are affiliated with GRACE programs and services. We are proud of all of our volunteers and congratulate all who were nominated and received awards in our communities.
