On the Table Sign Ups
The Greenbrier Neighborhood is a member of the Fayette County Neighborhood Association (FCNC) which advocates for neighborhood networking to better understand how our local government works and how development proposals may affect a neighborhood’s unique character. The FCNC offers public workshops, speakers, and educational meetings that support and preserve successful neighborhoods. On the Table is an important element seeking public input into the future growth of our county. Please see the info and meeting times below should you be interested in following up on one of these sessions. Thank you!
Dear Neighbors,
The Fayette County Neighborhood Council recommends signing up for On the Table this year, because the results will help Lexington make decisions on planning, zoning and development for the next five years. University of Kentucky faculty are involved in compiling responses which will be confidential but with results available by neighborhood (for online responses) and by zip code (also for online responses).
The FCNC will be hosting On The Table meetings via ZOOM on these dates and times, each session will last from 1 to 1 1/2 hours:
Sunday, April 10 at 3:00 pm
Monday April 11 at 7:00 pm
Tuesday April 12 at 7:00 pm
Wednesday April 13 at 7:00 pm
Thursday April 14 at 7:00 pm
Please sign up for On The Table here:

Dallas Taylor
I started at pump stations in 1993 as a mechanic.
Few years later became the Electrician after receiving my license, worked at that position for about 10 years.
Was promoted to supervisor, worked that for around another ten years.
Became the Program manager a little over a year ago.
LFUCG calculates time in 30 day months so that puts me right at 30 years, all at Pump Stations.
I’ve spent a lot of time in your neighborhoodJ
Dues Drive Nears Target
Our Dues Drive is almost over and we are 9 neighbors short of our target goal of 74% paid members. If you haven’t yet paid this year’s Dues – still at $100.00 – there’s time! Use paypal or write a check, send it or drop it off to our Treasurer, John Schmidt at 3556 Antilles Dr. That’s less than $9.00 per month to support the GRI Board in its many activities on behalf of our neighborhood! Please join your neighbors in helping us reach our goal!
Also, we are working on the new Directory which promises to be bigger and better than ever. We think ALL our property owners will find the information contained in it both useful and easy to find. Watch for it later this month! Thank you!
Contest Winners
With more houses being lit up and decorated than ever, the Greenbrier elves had the hardest time to date making their decisions; however they finally made it official and declared the winners of this year’s Holiday Lights contest. They are: Best Overall: 1724 Bahama Road, the Esposito residence’s take on a Winter Wonderland; Most Whimsical, 2116 Antigua, the Buckman residence’s festive presentation of lights, and Best Entryway, 3512 Trinidad, the Hamm’s residence with its elegant door.
Further, the elves gave a shoutout to the beautiful trees on Bahama; the Vettraino’s manger scene at 3637 Antilles Drive; and the lights at 3601 Montego Court, the Simone residence.
All GRI Member award winners will receive a $50 gift certificate to their favorite Hamburg restaurant. So tour the neighborhood and look for the signs in the winners’ yards. See if you agree with the Elves decisions and remember, next year could be the year for you to have a coveted winner sign in your front yard.
Happy Holidays and a wonderful New Year to all from the Greenbrier Residents Board.!

Trick or Treat set for 6pm to 8pm Saturday October 31
“Our normal Halloween traditions will change this year due to COVID-19,” said Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton. “Although we may not have some of our annual events, or be able to dig into a shared bowl of candy, we can still enjoy the holiday and trick-or-treat. We want our children and community to have fun, but be safe. You can collect pre-wrapped treats while in your favorite costume, but make sure to continue to maintain safe social distance, wear a protective face mask and keep gatherings to 10 or fewer people.”
