Although we are celebrating the holidays, some of us here at Sunshine have commitments that we are working on that require us to continue planning, holding meetings etc. during this time.

 

As you were all informed last week, the SEPO Office is closed until Tuesday, Jan 2, 2024 (except for Friday afternoon this week).

 

Therefore, this morning I discussed the following with Share Nelson, SEPO Board President. If you have any new/updated Activity/Meeting Requests that need to be processed while the office is closed, you may either email them to sepoenews@gmail.com or bring them by my house @ 1940 W Iowa Ave. I will make sure there are no conflicts with the SEPO Calendar, get Board approval and return to you the "approved or denied" copy of your request. Any questions, please contact me at my info below.

Sent 2023-12-22: 2023 Christmas Bird Count - 

The Christmas Bird Count will take place next Saturday, Dec 30.

 

The Bird Count is a national volunteer event. We count the number of species and the number of birds of that species. Results are tabulated throughout the United States. The results are an indication of how well or poorly the bird population is doing.

The Sunshine Birding and Nature Club has participated in this event for many years. BUT NOTE: This event is open to anyone in the community. We will assemble at the Gazebo on Texas Avenue at 7:30 a.m. next Saturday. We will be divided into groups with assigned areas to cover. We need bird identifiers, bird sighters, and tally keepers. No special talent is needed for the last two (2) jobs listed. We will go out on foot, in golf carts, and in cars. Bring binoculars.

Again - This event is open to anyone in the community. Please join us.

- For more information contact Ralph Peterson (607) 590-0606.

Hi Everyone - I figure this week you are well into the Christmas spirit and the last thing you want to think about is 'volunteering' to work on a committee. However, this is exactly the time of year that SEPO Election Committees get into gear.

​

If you attended the Dec 19 Special Board Meeting or have viewed the video of this meeting, you are aware that I have volunteered to be the 2024 SEPO Election Committee chairperson and the Board voted unanimously to appoint me to that position.

I have already been working on some of the upfront committee tasks. I have updated the Election Committee Guidebook, thanks to a collaborated effort of both myself and your SEPO Board President, Share Nelson. It is almost ready to present to the entire Board for their approval.

 

I'm also working on a Project Plan of all of the tasks - from the smallest of small to the largest of large - that need to be performed between now and when I turn over the tallied vote count to the Board at the Feb 20 Annual Shareholders Meeting.

 

So the next 'large' task for me to accomplish is to fill seats (so to speak) on the committee. I currently have five volunteers, some of which can only help part-time. I'm looking for 10-15 (and possibly more) people to do a variety of tasks, the largest of them being "Stuffing the Ballot Envelopes" sometime around Jan 14-15 AND "Counting Votes" between the 1 pm and 3 pm meetings on Feb 20.

 

If you think you might be interested at all in helping me out, give me a call to discuss. If I don't get enough volunteers in the next few days, I'm going to start cold-calling. Wouldn't you rather volunteer before hearing me beg on the phone. 😁

 

Thanks in advance for your consideration of this matter.

 

Happy Holidays !!!
