Sent 2022-02-24: Results of 2022 SEPO Board Director Positions Election - 

It was previously announced that Randy Davis, David Fleiner and Mark Owen were elected to fill the three open positions on the 2022 SEPO Board. Beth Parrish, Larry Keller, Jean Burgoine and Lenore Combs remained on the Board for their second year.

After the Annual Shareholders meeting on February 15, 2022 was adjourned the new board convened their first ‘required’ meeting where elections were held to fill the Director positions for the 2022 Board. The Board was unable to finalize all positions at that meeting. Therefore, a Special Board meeting was held on February 21 to do so.
 
The FINAL Board Director positions results from the February 21 Special Board meeting are as follows:

​

• President: David Fleiner

• Secretary: Beth Parrish

• Treasurer: Mark Owen

• Golf Course: Randy Davis

• Common Area 1 & 1st Vice President: Jean Burgoine

• Common Area 2: Larry Keller

• Common Area 3 & 2nd Vice President: Lenore Combs

There are residents in our community who at times needs assistance with issues concerning their computers, pads and phones. I, and a couple other residents, help out when we can. However, I’m pretty much swamped and don’t feel I can continue this on an ongoing basis. Plus, there are some things I'm not much help with.

Is there anyone who would be willing to volunteer to help out?
If you want to help out, you can reply to sepoenews@gmail.com and I will also be putting a signup sheet in the Library Thu morning.

We could probably use 2-3 or more volunteers for assisting with apple versus android, computers, pads, phones and hardware versus software.
 
A few years ago, there was a Computer Club that met every week where you could go to talk about your issues, and hopefully get help with a fix, concerning technology. That might be something someone would be interested in starting up again.
 
Please consider helping out with any or all of the above.

Dear Friends
 
As the Director of the Storage Lot area, I would like you all to "police your area" and make this a firm commitment before the first of March.  
 
A "Spring Cleaning" mandate is because I have had more than several "complaints" - suggestions, concerns,

etc. because there is too much stuff under the Sheds and surroundings. There will be another "walk-about" and if there is stuff still lying about - it will be taken care of.....
 
You may send me your 2 CENTS by email, to ljcombs44@gmail.com, or leave a note in the Office (I have a cubby for Valerie to place correspondence) and it will be considered, appreciated and responded.  Thank You.
 
The Board is aware of this concern and since it is my area, I am reaching out to you. My expectation is this exercise will be accomplished.  Thanks

Mark Owen was on the 2021 Board and was re-elected to the 2022 Board.

We want to give a huge 'thank you for all you did' to Lyn Swonger and Tony Tramel, who are exiting their Board positions. They both made great improvements within our community during their tenure on the Board.

The 2022 Board did hold their first 'required' meeting on Feb 15 in order to elect/assign Director positions. However, partly due to not all Board members being present at that meeting, we were not able to finalize those assignments. We will inform the community as soon as this has been accomplished.

I am happy to announce Good news and Good news.
 
The Good Neighbor Golf Tournament, and its name, is back. The event is scheduled for March 3, 4 & 5, 2022, which is a Thursday through Saturday.
 
The GNGT committee has decided to forge ahead with this event with a few modifications because of Covid.
 
It will be an outside event. We will be inviting our Neighbors to participate as in the past. We have plans to award daily prizes to both the morning players and the afternoon players. We will not, however, be having an awards dinner on Saturday evening.
 
Sunshine Women's Golf League has again agreed to prepare hot dogs / brats / sloppy joe sandwiches for $5 on Thursday and Friday.
 
It will be a Bring Your Own (alcoholic) Beverages (BYOB) for the tournament. Water and soda will be provided.
 
We will have registration for Sunshine players in the library beginning Feb 21st. Registration will start for outside players on Feb 24th. We are giving Sunshine the first opportunity to get in the game. So please register early. 
 
The registration fee is $40 a player. This gets you three (3) days of competitive golf, along with cash and golf prizes being awarded. We will pay out closest to the pin each day for the morning and afternoon sessions. Saturday we will determine the overall tournament award winners, again for the morning and afternoon groups.
 
The final day to register for our GNGT is Noon on February 28, 2022 in the Library.

Sent 2022-02-05: NEED: Calendar of Events/Meetings for 2022-2023 Winter Season - 

I know some of you will think I'm jumping the gun, but trust me, the deadline for what I will be asking for will be upon us before you know it.

For those of you who may not be aware, the Board approves the dates of various Events/Meetings for the next winter season during the final Regular Board meeting of a winter season. In 2022 that meeting date is Mar 9.

Approval of dates takes place in a particular order. I will need 'names of' & 'dates for' Events/Meetings from the following Clubs/Committees:

• Board & Resident meetings. (in process by Board now)

• Good Neighbor Golf Tournament.

• Women's Club activities.

• Other Golf events –

  • Women’s Golf League

  • Men’s Golf League

• Other events/meeting (in no particular order) –

  • Women's Club Meetings.

  • Neighborhood Watch (NW) Meetings.

• All others – Will need to be requested through the SEPO Office by utilizing the 'Activity/Meeting Request' documented on the Sunshine Web site.
   

Now here's the kicker. I need this information (except for All Others) by End of Day on Mar 1 at the latest. That's because I need to get everything into the agenda for the Mar 9 meeting, which needs to be distributed to the community by 1 PM on Mar 3.

Please call w/questions. Thx
