GRACE Staff was excited to attend the 64th Annual Grapevine Community Awards Banquet presented by Bank of the West and hosted by the Grapevine Chamber of Commerce, which were held on Thursday, January 26 at the Hilton DFW Lakes Executive Conference Center. This event recognizes the community spirit of Grapevine by recognizing outstanding contributions from its citizens and businesses.
Here at GRACE, we strive to be good stewards of the community. Giving back and raising awareness of community involvement is a key factor in the GRACE mission.
