September 2022

A Message from Marie Candelora, GRAPE President

Happy September! This summer just flew by. Hope you were all able to make the most of it and are now ready to hit the ground running for a new GRAPE year. First up this September…networking at Lazy Acre Alpaca Farm.

Have you ever been to an Alpaca farm? I have never been, but thanks to GRAPE, on September 15 I will have the chance to hang out with some alpacas AND my fellow GRAPE members. The opportunities we have through GRAPE to learn through our educational programs and to network around Monroe County and beyond are unlike any in the region.  

As we begin the 2022-2023 GRAPE year, I encourage you to start out right (with the alpacas)…so here is a checklist to get you on the right path:

• Renew your membership
• Sign up for our first networking event of the year
• Try to find a guest to bring with you
• Add GRAPE breakfasts to your calendar…generally, they are the 3^rd Wednesday of the month
•  Add GRAPE lunches to your calendar…generally, they are the 4^th Tuesday of the month
• Join a committee

Looking forward to seeing you all soon! 

Marie
