Welcome to Greenbriar Villas Social Club Community

APRIL 2026

I am sad to report that this will be the last GBSC newsletter. The Department of Justice has issued a “cease and desist” letter, warning us of potential legal action if we continue to publish.  After a comprehensive review, the FCC has determined that our newsletter constitutes a “quasi-broadcast medium” and is therefore subject to Equal Time provisions.  We are charged with overrepresentation of elderly party-goers.  GBSC Treasurer Jim Caldwell advises that our organization does not have the assets needed for a protracted legal fight, so we are forced to waive the white flag of surrender.  However, residents may file individual appeals by standing on their front porch at Sunset and shouting loudly in the direction of Washington DC, on this the first day of April, generally known as April Fools Day. 

Thank you:
