Welcome to Greenbriar Villas Social Club Community

News Flash:  Its August and its hot.  How many showers are you taking each day?  Sorry if that was too personal.  Note to Mother Nature: I don’t know what you are cooking, but I think it is done.  I looked at the calendar and saw nothing in August but Friendship Day on the 3rd and that’s it. Well, that is not exactly true because I have written on my calendar that college football starts with a smattering of games as early as the 23rd.    Most teams begin play on Labor Day weekend.    The NFL won’t be far behind.  In fact, the annual Hall of Fame pre-season game took place last night in Canton, Ohio.

Upcoming

Ladies Luncheon - August 9:   The venue this month will be Campo Azul Mexican Kitchen, US Route 441 in Summerfield (behind McDonalds).  Text or call Nancy Krabbe if you are interested in attending at 513-295-5531.

Boat Tour in August.  With the heat in triple digits, what sounds better than to be out on the open water enjoying the views and gentle breezes as you cruise around.  How about taking a St. John’s Eco Tour.  The cost is $32.50 per person for the tour.  Lunch will be at Swamp House Grill and is not included in the $32.50.  Let your president, Renee Von Roenn, know if you are interested and  contact Cap’n Colin at 303-626-9004.  We have 14 people signed up so far and the August 5 deadline is fast approaching.

Boozy or non-boozy Bunco -  September 16 - This wild and fun dice game will take place at Chatham Rec Center at 6:30.  The cost will be $5, all of which will be returned in the form of prizes.

Block Party:  Mark your calendars for Sunday October 26, that’s the date for the Annual GBSC Block Party.  The party will run from 5:00 until 7:30 with music provided by “Tight Genes”  A food truck, “Fat Tiki” will supply the eats.  Check out their website and you’ll find a very diverse (am I still allowed to use that word?) menu.  The entertainment will be provided the band “Tight Genes”.

Please reach out to Renee if you’d like to help with this big event.

Friendsgiving – Tuesday, November 25 - We are trying something new this year.  In the spirit and season of Thanksgiving.  We will gather for a Thanksgiving potluck meal at Chatham Rec Center.  There will be no entertainment, just a chance to gather with friends and neighbors and share a meal and the feeling of gratitude.

St. Augustine Christmas Lights Janet and Steve Ramig have come up with a fun idea.  Workman Transportation runs bus trips St. Augustine for the Night of Lights trolley tour.  The bus leaves The Villages at 11:00 am and returns by 9:00 on December 4.  There are other dates available through Workman.  If you have never been to St. Augustine for the Night of Lights display of Christmas decorations throughout the historic part of the city, you are missing out.  I have been and it is nothing short of fantastic.  The cost is $70 and you and sign up at:  workmantravel.com

Somehow, in our earlier attempt to thank all of you who made the Independence Day Indoor Picnic a big success, we failed to recognize the efforts of the lovely Barb Millhouse.  So, now Barb gets individual recognition. Thank you, Barb!

The Office of the Treasurer:  Jim Caldwell states that GBSC has $1,196.27 as of August 1, 2025, in our account.
