Welcome to Greenbriar Villas Social Club Community

October ends with Halloween and starts with Yom Kippur.   Columbus Day, Indigenous People are both recognized on October 13 as is Thanksgiving in Canada.  The rest of the month you are on your own.  Make up or create your own holiday.  As you might have expected I gave come up with a few to get you started.  Mini Marshmallow Day. The first day our temp drops below 60 we should celebrate with hot chocolate. Pumpkin Spice Overload Day, when you just have had enough! National Lost Sock Reunion Day – wear mismatched socks.   Candy Corn Exchange Day – trade your leftover candy corn for something, anything!

Gracias, Merci, Grazie, Asante,  or just thank you to Karen Gulley, Janelle Dankert, Blair Mondor and Anne McCusker for making Bunco Night a success.  The game was such a hit that there is talk of making Bunco a monthly event or even adopting it as our new national pastime.  Stay tuned!
