  5. When you receive a Community E-Mail from the Send-In-Blue system the following are constant:

• The ‘From’ always says SEPO Community.

• The ‘To’ is the e-mail address that you, as a Resident, has supplied to me.
   

So now – in ending this long explanation – here are the KEY points to remember:

• I am the only one who receives REPLIES to the sepoenews mailbox.

• That means I am the one who would need to ‘forward’ your reply to the composer of the e-mail. I do forward them sometimes, but I cannot guarantee all your replies get to the person you had intended to see it.

• That is why it is so important to reply to the COMPOSER of the e-mail, unless you are requested to reply directly to sepoenews@gmail.com. All Resident e-mails that have been supplied to me are HERE.
   

I am sure most of you know I do spend a lot of time working on SEPO communications – E-Mails, Web site and the Newsletter. I am happy to volunteer to do this, but also want you to understand some of what I do and why I request ‘no replies’ to e-mails sent out. OK – I’m done now. LOL.
 
Thanks for your understanding with this matter.

Sent 2020-11-09: Street Map now on Web site - 

Several people have asked if there was a Sunshine street map on the Web site. And now I can say YES. It is located HERE which is the second tab under the Home Tab. This is the map that was distributed to the community way back when we repaired the streets. It's kind of fuzzy but the bigger you make the page the clearer it is. If anyone using a computer to view the map needs help with making the Web page bigger, give me a call. There's also an option to print the document from the Web page.

Couple of other things:

• If anyone has a more recent and/or clearer picture, give me a call.

• If you see any mistakes on this map, let me know as well.

Please call w/questions.

Sometimes I send out e-mails that include the Web site address that takes you directly to a document or a Web page. Wellllll - I have discovered something during my editing of the Web site that, although it makes my work easier, it sometimes makes that address that I sent to you previously no longer valid. You will know that because you will get a 'Page Not Found' message when you click on it. If you run across this error message, please let me know immediately so I can set up a re-direct page to where you were trying to get to. And, yes, I know. To some of you this is all gobbldy-gook. Just remember, if you get a 'Page Not Found' message on the Sunshine Web site, let me know.  Thanks

Hi Everyone – My name is Dana Weise and I am Chairing the 2021 SEPO Board Nominating Committee. Dan Danks and Bill Peterson are working with me on this committee. I know this e-mail is lengthy. However, I hope it gives everyone a better idea of our current situation. Please read through to the end and help us out, if at all possible.

 

To refresh everyone on how this committee works here is an excerpt from the Sunshine Country Club Estates (SCCE) By-Laws (located on the Web site HERE).

 

The following is from the -

 

BYLAWS OF

SUNSHINE ESTATES PROPERTY OWNERS, INC.

A PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION

A NON-PROFIT CORPORATION

1957 West Michigan Drive

Harlingen, TX 78550

 

ARTICLE VI-COMMITTEES

Nominations and Ballots

 

6.01  The Board of Directors shall, at least sixty (60) days before the election, appoint a Nominating Committee of three (3) to five (5) members to submit a slate of nominees for Directors to be placed on a ballot for hand delivery or mailing to members. The nominating committee shall post its selection of Nominees at least ten (10) days prior to the January Meeting of Residents and Directors. The Committee shall submit its nominations to the members at the January meeting of Residents and Directors and nominations from the floor will be accepted. The Board shall thereupon validate the status of members, as defined under Article II herein, and cause the committee report to be posted on the Club House bulletin board for a ten (10) day period. At or about noon of the tenth day the report will be removed from the bulletin board. A paper ballot shall be prepared, under the direction of the Board of Directors, to include the nominations of Directors and other items authorized to appear on the ballot.

​

(See the Web site HERE for additional information and next steps.)

 

To update you on our progress in getting possible Board nominees, our committee has been speaking to many residents about the upcoming ‘four’ positions that will be available on the Board. While attempting to recruit potential candidates, the responses have been less than favorable to take on this position/duty, at least in the number of residents I have personally spoken to.

 

I have gotten some good assistance and advise from residents who have lived here in Sunshine CCE for many years, who have either been previous Board members or have run for the Board in the past. The comments and advice I have received have been enlightening and have helped me better understand how the Board’s (volunteer positions) can be somewhat demanding and time consuming for many of them wanting or accepting to take the time they feel is required.

 

This is something I had expected when I was asked to head-up the committee. I graciously accepted the challenge and recruited a couple other residents to assist me with the search for (committed and reliable) residents who:

• Would have some true and sincere interest in accepting a nomination.

• Are willing to work together as a Team Player with the other Board Members.

• Would put forth their best efforts to help and keep this fantastic community that we are all partnered with (as residents).

• Would continue making this Development, in all aspects, the same beautiful and appealing community we all like and enjoy.

• Would be Proud to be a part of the highly successful environment it is today.

 

A VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE OF THIS E-MAIL FOLLOWS. PLEASE READ COMPLETELY.

 

I and the rest of the committee are asking ALL RESIDENTS if any of you have any interest at all in partaking in becoming a Board Member? I would like to make it a Private and Confidential sit-down/meet in person with me and the other committee members to discuss and answer each of your questions, concerns and responsibilities of the Position of becoming a Board Member. Hopefully, this may provide a more comfortable atmosphere for both those of you who have resided in Sunshine for some time, as well as the newer residents. Confidentiality, I believe, is the key ingredient so that no one will know who the nominees are until it is deemed necessary to announce them prior to election voting.

 

An isolated/private location will be determined at a later date. I am also willing to sit down with any resident (in Private) to listen to everyone’s advice and/or opinions to HELP make this a successful process.

​

Thank you for your assistance in helping our committee finalize the best possible Candidates for Sunshine Country Club Estates!

 

Kindest regards,

Dana Weise

Sent 2020-11-04: ARE YOU INTERESTED: Top Golf Outing - 

​

WHAT IS TOPGOLF?

 
Topgolf is a golfing game that anyone can play (and win). Score points by hitting micro-chipped golf balls at giant dartboard-like targets on an outfield. The closer you get your ball to the center or 'bullseye' and the further the distance, the more points earned.
There are games for all skill levels....novice to well seasoned. No experience needed.
 
Guests of all ages and experience can score and win.
You reserve a private bay which holds 4 or 6 players. You compete with your friends.
 
Top Golf has a full eating menu, appetizers, flatbreads, sandwiches, salads, burgers etc. as well as drinks to purchase. There is a charge for food and drinks. But you are not required to eat or drink.

The nearest Top Golf location is just off the highway in Pharr.

COVID-19: Guests are required to wear a facemask at Topgolf Pharr, upon entry to the venue until you get to your table or bay, and while moving throughout the venue. When in your bay at a safe social distance from other guests who are not in your group, you are not required to wear a mask - this includes while eating, drinking or hitting. Masks are not required for children under the age of 4 or for those with underlying health conditions.
 
I'm trying to determine if there is any interest in participating in an outing of folks from Sunshine. The date would be either Tuesday, November 17th or Tuesday November 24th from 3pm to 5pm.

If you are interested, call SueBob, 847 452-7804.
