TO all: I am trying to see if there's any interest in ROCK PAINTING at Sunshine!  It would be a good hobby during very hot periods of time.  You do not have to have any previous rock painting, or any painting talent at all.
 
Have you noticed painted rocks by the mailbox entry?  I left them for anyone that would want them.  They are always gone the next time I go check our mail, and leave another rock.  I've received feedback for a couple of the rocks I left there.  One is on its' way to WI by a Sunshine resident.  
 
If you are interested, please let me know by contacting me per my information below.
 
Depending on interest, or not, I will be providing further details on how this would work.  Best days, times, etc.  Those that are interested could go to FB Harlingen Rocks to get a glimpse of "painted rocks"!  Anyone could enjoy this activity with no previous painting or art experience.
 
Karren Amos     ph 309-781-3479   email karrenaamos@gmail.com
I look forward to hearing from you soon

Unfortunately, they won't receive this e-mail. So if you have friends/neighbors who tell you they aren't getting SEPO e-mails ask them to check for directions from bethparrish107@charter.net.

Sent 2022-04-03: Dog Rescue Fundraiser - 

On Saturday March 26, the community of SCCE came together for a fundraising event to support Lost Ball Rescue who has helped us in the past with stray dogs that have wandered into our community.

So many residents helped with this event from Woodshop donations, handmade quilts, Dog themed baskets, to cashiers, kitchen help, set up and clean up and more. Special shout out to Wade Prater and his band Whisky Dent who donated their talents and tips to the event. Tiffany Prater who created all the posters for the the silent auction, each individualized for each item.
 

The Harlingen community gave generously and big thanks to Sally Hardy who obtained all the South Padre boat trips. Each contribution

was large and necessary for the success of our event.

​

Many have been asked how much we raised. We raised $4,993, rounded out to $5,000. We did have to cover the cost of the food which was $672.21 so our total donation to Lost Ball was $4347.79.
They are very appreciative, thank you to each and every one of you who helped.
