Dining and Events Committee
Written by Mary Ann Carr • Photos by Sue Vogel
We welcome December, the last month of
2021. Looking back, this past year was one of
transition. We slowly but surely emerged from
the physical and emotional Lockdown of 2020.
Our hearts are lighter; our spirits brighter!
While taking necessary precautions, especially
getting our vaccinations and boosters, we feel so
much safer taking part in our favorite activities
with our families, friends, and neighbors. We
Greenbriar residents once again are able to
enjoy our many amenities as we return to our
very special lifestyle.
Our Pub (with a 90 person capacity)
continues to provide a favorite gathering place Our happy ambassador Gambel NGXB entertains residents at the Pub
for NGXB at the Pub
for friends to meet and mingle. A menu for
fall Speciality Drinks is displayed on the bar,
including the Candy Corn Martini. In addition,
live entertainment has returned for our listening
pleasure. Back by popular demand, singer
Gerard Esposito performed in the Pub on
October 26 and November 30, and NGXB
entertained us on the piano on November 9.
Residents are also taking advantage of
Luigi’s Express, our newest and extremely
popular amenity. They continue to add menu
items per residents’ requests, including Cuban
sandwiches, chili, tossed salads and chef salads.
Also offered are daily and weekly specials, all
of which can be picked up or delivered to our Residents singing the Star Spangled Banner at the Pub
Pub/restaurant area.
With all safety precautions (proof of
vaccinations, temperature checks, and mask
requirements) in place, many of our clubs have
been able to sponsor concerts and plan their
holiday parties in our Ballroom. Residents
were entertained by the Rave-Ons, a Simon and
Garfunkle tribute duo, and the Jersey Four.
Looking ahead, on Wednesday, December 15,
the Glee Club and the Jukebox Band will host
a holiday concert in the Ballroom. In addition,
we are eagerly anticipating our BYOE New
Year’s Eve Gala, which will include an Open
Bar, Champagne Toast and DJ to welcome in

Snow Removal Procedures & Zones For 2021-2022
Emergency snow clearing will be provided only for those who require emergency medical/life sustaining

submitted with the registration for emergency snow clearing.
1. Snow removal on roadways is initiated when snowfall amounts exceed 2”.
2. All fire hydrants currently have a 6’ flag on top and are cleared as appropriately needed for fire department
personnel.
3. Vehicles should not be parked in roadways if snow is anticipated. Residents are encouraged to park vehicles
in their garage whenever possible. If you have temporary parking needs beyond that of your garage/driveway, you
may park on the restaurant side of the clubhouse.
4. Driveways will be started when snowfall has stopped and roadways are clear. Needed ice melt will be applied
to driveways once.
5. Snowfall of 2 – 10” will be cleared from roadways and driveways within 24 hours after snowfall has ceased.
6. Snowfall in excess of 10” will be cleared from roadways and driveways as quickly as conditions and equipment
allow.

december 2021 • Greenbriar Oceanaire 11Golf Advisory Committee
Written and submitted by Rich Wortman
We are now entering our winter phase here at Greenbriar, as
closing the course on Christmas Eve approaches. 10:00 shotgun
starts began on November 9th. A large number of players
continued to play through the month, taking advantage of mild
weather and course conditions.
Superintendent Steve Juhring and his Indigo Golf staff are
winding up their fall projects, including aeration of the fairways
and tees. The Meticulous maintenance staff has completed
cutting the brush in all the basin areas, giving the course a
different appearance.
The Golf Advisory Committee has been busy interviewing
Columbus Day Tournament Mixed Division
prospective members to fill the expiring terms of six members.
Winning Team The candidates approved by the Board will be announced
(L to R) Barry Zielinski, Jeri Zielinski, shortly and the entire 2022 Committee will be seated at the next
Sally Ann Quigley, Jerry Quigley
meeting. The Committee is busy with the discussion of course
renovation projects and a reorganization of communication
methods. The goal is to streamline and improve how the
Committee effectively distributes golf information to the
membership as well as residents.
The tournament season concluded with the Columbus Day
tournament. Though the results were available by press time and
announced in the November Beacon, photos were not available.
See the pictures included with this and next month's articles to
view the winners.
The weather might have cooled a bit, but the Hole-in-One
pace continues to stay hot with three more! Orysia Marino
scored her ace on October 31 on Hole 16, followed by Rick
Pat Galante at hole 12 on November 4
celebrates his third Greenbriar ace... Dove on the same hole on November 2. On November 4, Pat
Galante enjoyed his third Greenbriar Hole-in One on Hole 12.
Congratulations to all!
We ask that our members contribute to the Holiday Golf
Staff Appreciation Fund. This is a wonderful way to show
appreciation to our golf staff at this time of the year. Donations
are to be placed in the GAC mailbox near the Concierge desk
in the clubhouse by December 15. Please make out checks to
GOCA GAC.
All residents are reminded that after the course closes for the
winter, the cart paths can be used for walking and biking. Please
be aware that maintenance vehicles may also be on the paths.
Golf Tip For many of us, golf is, or will be, in the “off
season.” It is a suitable time to consider areas of improvement
to work on for 2022.
One general principle that works on all shots is to develop a
way to make solid contact. It sounds obvious, but if we channel

It’s never too early to get into the holiday spirit at
Greenbriar. After all, it’s the most wonderful time of
the year. It’s the one time when we all act a little nicer,
smile a little easier and cheer a little more. We are the
people we always hoped we would be and find ways
to make life better for those around us. During this
season of giving, let’s not forget to take the time to
slow down and enjoy the simple things. Watch “It’s a
Wonderful Life.” Fix yourself a cup of hot cocoa and
read “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.”
It’s never too early to mark your 2022 calendar
with dates for our WC meetings; they are on the
4th Thursday of each month. You’ll be able to meet
new friends and greet old friends too! Our first three
meetings for 2022 will be afternoon meetings held at
1:00PM. Hope to see you there. Check the flyers and

Written by Jo Meinhart
Who doesn’t love the beautiful colors of autumn? We celebrated in October
by making a pumpkin fall centerpiece. Our teacher, Benita Cardaccio, provided
each participant with a small pumpkin, fall leaves and a scarecrow. Our task
involved simply cutting out the center of the pumpkin, inserting a Styrofoam
piece to hold the flower stems and then inserting the decorative items.
In November, we changed pace a bit and our teacher Cindy DeVries
presented how to make homemade greeting cards and gift tags. Each of us
was given three options to pick from. First option was making two greeting
cards and 3 gift tags for Christmas. Second option consisted of two cards
with Hanukkah being one of them and 3 snowy gift tags. Third option was
two larger sized cards. A few years ago we had a teacher demonstrate this and
card-making was very well received. At that time we invited someone outside
the community to teach us. This time our teacher, Cindy, is a relatively new
GO resident and graciously offered to provide instruction on making cards
and tags. Her work prep for each of us was organized and amazing. She provided an assorted array of
stamps, card stock, ink pads and decorative items.
Our instruction began with making gift tags and proceeded to making two greeting cards. It was intricate
but fun. Everyone left having such crafty items to send or use for the holidays. Our December craft will
be stitchery taught by Lori Groveman. We will also have a celebration of the holiday season with cookies,
coffee and tea.
Please be advised of the change of date to December 7, and also know that for this year the cookies
will be supplied.
We at Arts and Crafts want to wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday and we hope to see you in the
New Year!

COVID-19 - the Unwanted Guest
Great progress is being made in the war against COVID-19. Remember how everything was
shut-down this time last year? This success is due to effective vaccines and boosters. However,
COVID-19 remains a continuing problem with increasing numbers of breakthrough cases, mostly
due to the delta variant. The safety practices to stop/slow the spread are still needed (masks
indoors, social distancing, handwashing/sanitizers, and temperature scans). We don’t know
everyone’s vaccination status, and others have stopped wearing masks indoors, so even though
you are fully vaccinated, you can still contract COVID. All the vaccines provide great protection
(80-90%) from serious infection, hospitalization, and death, but none offer 100% protection,
hence the breakthrough cases.
Each person’s vaccine immune response varies, (not everyone has 90% immunity). Natural immunity (people who
had COVID), and vaccine immunity decline over time. Boosters strengthen the immune system. SARS CoV-2 will
stick around until we reach herd immunity. It may become endemic, lingering in the environment, but manageable
with vaccinations, yearly like the influenza virus. Virologists, infectious disease doctors, public health doctors and
our great health care professionals continue to fight the good fight. The sources of this information can be found on
the Health & Fitness Club webpage - https://mygocc.com/health-fitness/
So, this holiday season as we gather with our loved ones, do all you can to keep them safe by not letting COVID,
the Unwanted Guest, into your house. Healthy Holidays!

Written by Dolores Wojcik
The month started out with one of our favorite pastimes – eating lunch!
We went to the Waterside Bar and Grille overlooking the Toms River. The view as
well as the food, was delightful.
Next we took a ride to Cape May to have a very
nice lunch at the Lobster House. After lunch the cars
split up. One group took a ride to Sunset Beach and
then walked through the Cape May Shops and ended
up with a walk to Congress Hall. Back in the car they
drove over to Wildwood Crest and drove along the
coastline into Wildwood and made their way onto
the Parkway for the journey home. The other group
went on to the Cape May Zoo where they spent an
enjoyable afternoon visiting all the animals.
Come join us at our next meeting to plan activities for the new year.
The meeting is Tuesday, January 18 at 2 pm in our usual meeting
room, the 2nd floor west wing card room. Hope to see you there!
On behalf of all the Do Nothing Club members we would like to
wish all of our Greenbriar neighbors a happy and healthy New Year.
