A Happy Easter to all. Is spring really here? Are you still laughing at your friends and relatives stranded in the northern latitudes? What happens in April? Your taxes are due. Passover begins on the 23rd. The NFL draft gets started on April 25th. I am boycotting April Fool’s Day this year because it is an election year and, well you know…
Thank you to: Marlene and Donn Cunningham for hosting their annual St. Patrick’s Day bash. Janet Ramig for leading the tour of the amazing World Equestrian Center in Ocala. Tim and Anne McCusker for overseeing the annual “Night at the Races” event.
That was quite an event. From the clever introduction of the horses to the enthusiasm of the equine stars and the efficiency of our betting windows, it was a great night. I wanted to give a special shout out to our horses and jockeys. Kim Capron was our only double winner as she proved you don’t mess with cowgirls from Wyoming. Martie Nichols was certainly our finest Canadian import of the evening, even if she finished just out of the money. The enthusiasm of Angelo Cabrera, aboard Special Delivery, certainly showed in both winning one race and competing enthusiastically in all the others. Paul and Linda Richey as Silver and Tonto chased each other around the track for most of the night, much as I assume they do at home. Karen Gulley, once she cleared her visor, galloped to victory in one race and may have been the most appropriately attired jockey. Thanks to everyone, especially Tim and Anne for a fun night.
Upcoming Events

And there is more. We will get information on how to access and navigate our wonderful new GBSC website (thank you, Russ Jones).
Dessert will be provided, and it will be BYOB of course.
May 5 – Cinco de Mayo celebration, hosted by Steve and Marcea Seimears. The time will be 5:30 to dusk. Bring your chairs to the corner of Clifton and Evergreen. There will be a potluck for those choosing to participate or you can just bring your own snacks. Steve and Marcea will provide the chips and margaritas. A cornhole tournament will pit folks from the different streets against one another. Marcea is looking for volunteers to help with the tournament as well as a few cornhole boards. Team Seimears is also looking for some helpers to distribute the margaritas. Call Marcea at 509-220-1344 if you would like to help.
May 15 – Flying Golf Cart show. Those famous golf cart daredevils will perform right in our neighborhood at 6:00 pm. Also, the truck from Mystic Ice Cream will pay Greenbriar a visit.
