Today we celebrate 15 years. Albany, we hope we’ve made you proud. The capitol region is our home and after all this time, we know you feel at home with us too. The world has changed but we’re still here, still doing it, and still having fun. The work is hard - but it’s pleasant too.
Day in and day out, it’s the people that make it. Plenty of our staff has been here since the beginning and we’ve been in each other’s lives for so long. Brian, Bagel, Marios, and so many more faces we all know. We’re strong and all these years through everything, we’ve done it together.
And our clients, at this point we’ve watched each other grow and our kids grow up too. We’ve had baby showers, now that kid is in high school and having family dinner here. We’ve celebrated new jobs then hosted the retirement party. We’ve seen first dates that turn into anniversaries. You’ve seen my own kids working their first jobs here, seen them go off to college, get married - all of it. Staff and clients alike, we’ve shared it all.
So many generations all under one roof, thats what’s makes it. That’s what Grappa was and is. We love this community and have enjoyed every day, week, year. And we think you guys like it too because… we’re still here! Still doing it. So thank you Albany, thank you everyone. Cheers to many more years 🥂
