If anyone in Sunshine Estates is missing a wonderful German Shephard dog, we have it at lot 102 in Encore Sunshine RV Resort., He is very well behaved, but has been running free in our park for a couple days. Animal Control is supposed to be coming for him, but if he belongs to someone over there, we’d like to get him home.

Sent 2021-07-14: Removal of SEPO Property - 

It has come to the Board’s attention that a false rumor has been circulating in Sunshine concerning materials and properties located within the SEPO Storage Lot shed area, which is located north of W Iowa Ave. Some of the materials stored in this area are sand for our golf course bunkers, rocks, lumber used to create forms for our golf cart pathways and other stone and brick materials. These items are all SEPO property used by the Board Director in charge of the golf course to operate and maintain our Par 3 nine-hole golf course.
 
Recently a resident donated several stone-like concrete blocks to SEPO for use on the golf course. These blocks were placed in this storage area for future use. We were informed someone removed these blocks from the storage area and placed them in their yard. When they were approached, the resident said it was ok to do so because they had been told by other resident(s) that anything in the Storage Lot shed area could be removed and used by any resident. The resident was informed this is not true and the blocks needed to be returned.
 
In conclusion, this is a friendly reminder (or maybe you are hearing it for the first time) that the materials located in the Storage Lot shed area are not available for use by SEPO residents at their home. This material is owned by SEPO and should not be removed.

Sent 2021-07-04: AGAIN - VOLUNTEER NEEDED: Women's Club SEPO Newsletter Editor - 

I thought I would send this again to inform you that I haven't heard from anyone concerning taking over as Sunshine Newsletter Editor.
 
What I’m proposing ongoing is that the Primary Newsletter Editor:

  1. Prepare the SEPO E-News e-mails to send out for –

    1. the initial e--mail notice (sent on the 17th) that Newsletter articles are due by the 24th of the Month.

    2. the final e-mail notice (sent on the 23rd) that Newsletter articles are due by the 24th of the Month.

      These e-mails generally don’t change much, if any, from month to month.
       

  2. Once the editor receives an article ensure the sender is notified within 24 hrs that it was received. This is a canned reply to the sender's e-mail.

  3. Review the article for content and accuracy of data and work with the sender to get the article finalized.

  4. Combine all of the finalized articles and format/create the Newsletter.

  5. Send the ‘final’ newsletter document to the SEPO Communications Manager (Beth Parrish) for publication.
     

  6. The Primary Editor will also be responsible for maintaining the Newsletter Guidelines on the Web site.
     

The next steps I’m proposing is that I, Beth Parrish, (as the Secondary Newsletter Editor & SEPO Communications Mgr):

  1. Review the final Newsletter sent to me by the Primary Editor.

  2. Add any applicable Web site links or anything else that may be applicable (i.e. attachments).

  3. Send out the Newsletter to the community via SEPO E-News e-mail prior to the first of the following month.

  4. Send the Newsletter to the SEPO Office to be printed and posted in the Library.

  5. Post it on the Sunshine Web site HERE.


With all of that said, I will be willing to work with the new Primary Editor for as long as it takes for that person to feel comfortable doing her tasks on her own. The first e-mail that needs to be sent soliciting articles doesn’t need to go out until September 17. I would love to start working with a volunteer by September 1, 2021 at the latest.
 
Please feel free to call me at any time with questions. I look forward to working with one of you ladies on this.
