Harlingen is going to start picking up any water damaged items in the city as early as tomorrow, as long as they are on your curb and not in your cart.
They couldn't tell me when they will be coming to Sunshine - just sometime this week. But be prepared tomorrow just in case.
I'm trying to find out if Combs will be doing something similar. Stay Tuned.

Hey, Just had a conversation with Lenore about a conversation she had with the trash guy. If you put carpeting in your trash container they won’t pick it up. But if you pile it by the end of your driveway they will be sending a truck around to pick it up. I don’t know when that is, but I’m making calls to find out.
Will post when I know more.

It’s possible there are ‘ambulance chasers’ (or whatever you might call someone who may be preying on flood victims) hovering around Sunshine, even soliciting for business by posting signs throughout.
We would like to WARN people about not jumping right away to schedule work to be done by these folks – especially not before you do a thorough investigation into their work ethic / background.
Apparently, this same thing happened during the last flood a few years ago and also after hurricane dolly – with nightmare stories after the work was done.
So please be careful. - SEPO Board

Hi all, The water is still to high at Minnesota and Michigan, and Texas, Montana and Minnesota to get out, without water coming in your vehicle. And a great possibility of stalling your vehicle.
Also I know some of you are having electrical issues but please don’t mess with your outdoor meter/breaker. They’ve been sitting in water and could be a electrocution hazard.
Stay safe. - Tom Perrier (SEPO Board)

Heads Up -
I’ve placed 3 “5 mph No Wake” signs on Texas Ave, Minnesota St. and Michigan Dr.
They are in the middle of the road, attached to a heavy steel truck rim.
If you hit them they will damage your vehicle.
Please observe the No Wake.
About an hour ago a red Chevy/GM truck was observed by residents on Minnesota creating a large wave that damaged several garage doors and skirting on their homes.
We will be looking into this

This is a request to all residents of Sunshine country Club Estates. I am planning a special Christmas for Jefferson Elementary 2nd graders(and possibly 1st). This school is 99%economically disadvantaged. My plan with your help will be to provide them each with a backpack filled with pencils, crayons erasers, coloring books, a toy from Santa and Mrs Claus...Barbies for the girls and a truck or car for the boys, a pillow and pillowcase(cases being made thanks to the quilting group), small stuffed animals, treats, and music. Many of you have already left for up north, if you find good deals on any of these items and would like to contribute, I can guarantee these children will be appreciative. I've experienced it in Brownsville. If you would prefer to contribute with a financial donation that will be used to purchase missing items or possibly cover another classroom, you can deposit a check earmarked for Jefferson but made out to me, Mary Hull or Pam Davis in the library. I have set up a checking account for this purpose only! I also have containers in the library for those of you that are full timers and want to drop them off. I almost forgot. It was suggested we put together a basket for the teachers as well . So tissue, hand sanitizer,kids scissors etc all are welcome. Thank you in advance for considering donating. And I will be in need of Santa's helpers that day. You'll never regret it. Let's bring Sunshine to some needy children.
I will also post the above list of items requested in the library.
I hope this can become an annual event. - Mary Hull (from SEPO Facebook)

Dear Friends
Because of a conflict on Monday 17 March (St Patrick's Day), we shall call off the Neighborhood Watch meeting at 3p - Monday 17 March. See ya on April 21st.
Also, the CERT class was postponed for now as Fire Chief Darrel Loftus is doing a new class of Firefighters and he is very busy. But count on your return in the Fall for a class.
A class is usually 5 or so weeks (usually one weekly 4 hour class) Well worth the time & effort.
Our books are even ready for us. I still have your names and we can probably take a few more.
Anyway, y'all have a safe trip home.
BTW - Over at Encore Resort ..... a man had a heart attack, dropped on the floor, one of the NW folks started CPR, another called EMS and ----- the man is alive and well. He was taken to the hospital - is stable and doing well.
So if anyone needed a push to take a class on CPR - you just had it.
I'll be around if anyone has questions.
PS: The Police Department will most likely have a Citizens Police Academy in the Fall - if you're interested.
