The initiator of this petition asked us to share it. Since Forever Tybee supports quality of life for our Tybee Island residents and considers adherence to our ordinances the most democratic solution to the question of property rights, we thought it wise to inform our Facebook members of this opportunity. If you agree, please sign the petition.

February 19, 2026. The Old School Cafeteria came alive with camaraderie, laughter, and neighbors catching up with each other’s news during Forever Tybee’s Potluck and Program.

After a shared meal, attendees listened in on “A Conversation with the City Manager,” moderated by knowledgeable journalist Mary Landers from The Current and Bret Bell, the guest speaker. Questions were about long-standing hot issues (our water supply, STRs, Memorial Park, code enforcement) as well as a few unique inquiries. City Manager Bret Bell was deft in his answers as he sat between two ferns and responded for an hour to a room filled with attentive citizens.

More than triple the number expected to turn out did so, braving weather predictions to hug their neighbors and sign up for 2026 Forever Tybee member benefits. The first “Mocha, Muffins, and 2026 Membership” was a hit! In addition to joining or renewing, members found a friend, selected a core value or more, and created some memories in fun photos, orchestrated by Duion Furgason, Tybee’s celebrated events photographer. John Tinley, IT guru, was on hand to describe what he’s working on, an Observer Reports Library where members can find city meetings from current and past years, and research information they need for current issues. Thanks to master muffin baker, Sharon Edwards, the food was delicious, and Sand Cat made new mocha drinkers of many who had never thought of adding chocolate first thing in the morning.
