SEPO Community Emails: March 2023

Sent 2023-03-30: Website: Upcoming Activities/Mtgs (Summer 2023 & Winter 2023-2024) - 

Well, I guess I'll do anything to keep from packing those totes. And today I have put my hooks into the Sunshine website big time!

 

Please go to the "Events Legend by Year" page which is the first page under the EVENTS tab on the Sunshine website.

​

This 'legend' page will take you to all of the pages containing information about past, current and future things you might be interested in. I have also added information about the new SEPO-Santioned Facebook page here.

 

The summer and next winter seasons pages are a continuing 'work in process' as I am constantly updating the website with the Activity Requests everyone has been submitting to the office. IF YOU SEE ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED, please let me know at the contact info I have provided below.

 

This SEPO Email is going out to several new residents whose email addresses have been give to me recently. Welcome to the community and please let me know if you have any issues or questions concerning the website.

Would you please drop me a note saying what State or Province you called home or will find your way back to this summer. There is no such list in the office and I am working on a project that could use this information.

NEW ACCESS TO KITCHEN AREA

 

New keypads have been installed on the door leading into the kitchen from the outside and on the small supply closet just outside of the kitchen door in Retzlaff Hall.
 

A master code will be held by SEPO.
 

When hosting an event or otherwise needing access to the kitchen, a temporary code can be obtained from Valerie in the office. Keep in mind, if there is a weekend event, you should obtain the temporary code prior to Valerie closing the office on Friday. In the event, you have an unexpected need to access the kitchen and Valerie is not available, the President of Women’s Club will assist you. The temporary code will be deleted the following Monday or in an otherwise timely manner following weekday events.
 

Upon leaving the kitchen, the interior doors will be closed and must be physically locked, from inside the kitchen and people will exit from the kitchen to the outside after physically locking that door.
 

If you oversee closing the hall, lock the doors, and exit through the kitchen as described above.
 

The kitchen area is currently open on weekdays from 7:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.
 

If a person in charge of an event wishes to lock the freezer, that person must check the key out from the office. If the freezer remains unlocked, there are cameras in place for security in the hall including the kitchen and storage room which can be reviewed for up to three months, if necessary.

 

Beth has put this new process on the website on the 'SEPO Forms and Processes' page HERE or the 'Access to Kitchen Area' page HERE.

To all SEPO residents who reside in Combes

 

We are proposing a fact-finding meeting with the former mayor of Combes in regards to the situation with our water costs today and the potential increases in rates to come for SEPO residents in Combes. It has come to our attention that there might be another avenue to investigate to possibly get these rates reduced and we think the former mayor may be able to help us.

 

The meeting will be held at Mary David’s residence, in Combes, at 19958 Poplar. She is also concerned about the high water rates that ALL Combes residents are experiencing, and the potential rate increases to come. The meeting will be held at her house on March 29 at 4:00 pm. Anybody who needs a ride let us know, our car holds 6. Maybe some others could help with rides over there also. 

 

Mary has been gracious enough to offer to host a meeting of just the SEPO residents that reside in Combes. It will not include residents who live outside of SEPO.

 

We hope you all can come and listen. We hope it will be well worth your time and effort. And we hope that we all will be able to see some lower rates in the future.

 

Thank you,

Fred and Sandy Lowe

Sent 2023-03-22: SEPO Communications & the New SEPO-sanctioned FB Group - 

I want to personally thank Pam Adams for getting the SEPO-sanctioned Facebook (FB) Group up and running (so I didn't have to worry about doing it - HA) !!!

And she is right, there are lots of great pictures and information out there already. Hopefully, this will provide a spot for those of you who are wanting to get the word out about things outside of the Sunshine borders, that are non-SEPO Club/Group related.

A couple of things; although I would be overjoyed if this FB page would mean I no longer needed to do SEPO Communications, that is not the case.

  • All residents are not on Facebook and those who aren't won't see these postings.

  • Non-Sunshine residents won't be able to join the new FB group and, therefore, they won't see the postings either.

  • The original intent of the Sunshine website, above and beyond keeping residents informed, was to entice potential buyers to come check us out and possibly buy in Sunshine.

  • If you want the entire current community to be kept up-to-date about what's going on here in Sunshine AND also entice potential buyers, you will need to continue utilizing the SEPO Communication processes - emails, website updates and (during the winter seasons) the newsletter as described HERE.
     

Thanks again to Pam Adams.

Greetings:

It has been brought to my attention that some of the equipment in the “workout room” is not up to snuff! It has been mentioned by more than one individual, so we are taking it seriously. I don’t know that much about the equipment and don’t want to pretend that I do!!!

​

A couple that do use the equipment along with some of their friends, have working knowledge of the equipment in the room and suggestions as to make it more usable. David and Robin Fleiner have graciously offered to put together some suggestions along with all of you as to how we could improve the “workout room”. It has even been suggested that we consult a physical therapist who could offer suggestions on equipment for seniors. Anyone that might be interested in sharing their opinion may contact David or Robin at 808-269-0948 or email dpfleiner10@yahoo.com.

Sent 2023-03-06: POOL CLEANER - 

Good Morning: We have acquired a Robotic Pool Cleaner. We gave it a test run early this morning and it looks like it is going to do a great job. The cleaner will run when no one is in the pool. Therefore, it will do its’ work in the middle of the night. The cleaner will be set up and put in the pool at approximately 9:00 pm. It is OK to be in the pool at this time, just be careful of the cords. At about 4:00 am the cleaner will start and run for about 2 ½ hours. Lupe will then be here to remove the cleaner from the pool. During that run time, please stay out of pool. Thank you very much for you cooperation.

​

This does not involve the hot tub, so that can be used as usual. It is in the plan to give the hot tub a special cleaning, and you will hear more about that later.

 

Thanks again, Jim Kennedy

Sent 2023-03-02: NO GLASS CONTAINERS IN POOL OR PAVILION AREA - 

Attention to all Residents:
 

The above is a reminder that is posted in the area of the swimming pool and pavilion. There are to be no glass containers brought into this area. This is for obvious reasons. For your safety and others, this is a rule that MUST be followed.

 

If glass drops and shatters, which it does, and you are barefoot, you will very much regret stepping on it. It is almost impossible to completely clean up and if it goes into the pool or hot tub, they must be drained and cleaned. Known offenders will be made accountable.
