Never been to a "GrapeBall" meeting? You don't know what you're missing! At Area 44's annual "Grapefest," members celebrated the Grapevine and

great speakers, and wonderful people, and I had a delightful time sharing about the Grapevine and La Viña," Linda said. She said she was also asked to attend
and speak about the two publications at the District 64 meeting.
