Lenore had sent some info for the Oct Newsletter which Cyndi Skidmore and I thought might not be quite right for the Newsletter. So she and I and Lenore have worked on it and condensed it into a document which is perfect for the Sunshine website HERE. It was attached to this email. And copies will be available in the Neighborhood Watch section of the Library/Lounge area for you to read while in that building. (Please don't remove from there.)
If you have seen parts of or maybe even all of this info previously, it will serve as a REFRESHER to you. For others who aren't familiar with this wonderful organization and all they do, it will help you to know them and you might even consider being a part of it all.
I know while working on it, I learned several things I wasn't aware of, and appreciate Lenore providing this wonderful document for all of us. Although it is somewhat lengthy, it is well worth the read.
Please contact Lenore (956-254-1276) if you have any questions about the documents content or wish to discuss joining the Neighborhood Watch.

November 10, 2025
Hello Sunshine Homeowners-
This is to inform you of any new or adjusted rates for 2026, approved by the SEPO Board of Directors at the November 10, 2025, Regular Board Meeting.
The HOA Assessment Fee for 2026 will be $1,500.00 for the year. This is an increase of $45.00 as permitted in the SEPO Covenants (ARTICLE IV, COVENANT FOR MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENTS, SECTION 4.3 ANNUAL ASSESSMENT).
NOTE: If you pay in full by January 20, 2026, you will receive a 2% discount, which will lower this fee to $1,470.00 for the year 2026.
Tracy Wagner, treasurer, will start taking payments for 2026 fees starting November 17, 2025, while Valerie is on vacation.
The Storage Lot rates will be as follows:
Lots 01-12 & 301 are $190.00
Lots 101-114, 201 & 214, 600-613, 701-713 are $270.00
Lots 202-213, 501-516 are $305.00
Lots 302-316 are $285.00
Lots 401-416 are $210.00
All storage lot renters will be required to complete a new storage lot lease.
The Golf Course Improvement Fee of $25 for a Golf Cart Permit will remain the same for 2026.
Resale Certificates: To comply with Texas Property Code, Sec. 207, because we are a Subdivision subject to mandatory membership in a Property Owners’ Association, we urge any owner who is selling his residence to provide a resale certificate to the buyer prior to closing. This will be provided by SEPO not later than ten days following the request by seller, purchaser, or their agent, or title insurance company or closing agent at a cost of $250. The resale certificate will provide, in part, the following information: Financial condition of the association, any unpaid amounts due the association on the property, any known violations of noncompliance for the property of the rules (Covenants) of the association. This will also include inspections of the property as required by the Architectural Control Committee. Having a resale certificate is a benefit to both seller and purchaser.
This information will also be posted outside the SEPO Office.

It never fails. Every time I'm out on our Sunshine website I see pages which say, "under construction" or "check back soon for more details". I'm sure folks have stopped going to those pages, because some of them have been like that for years. This page is a perfect example. However, I never seem to be able to find time to go around and take pictures of these areas. Of course, there are other pages needing work, but I would like to start with this one.
What I'm looking for, to begin with, is someone(s) to take pictures of these areas. Some places could/should have only fix or six pics. Other areas could have lots of pics. I know some of you are excellent at taking pictures, particularly at Women's Club events. How many of you can spare a little time to help me out with this endeavor. DON'T BE SHY.

Sunshine members don't forget to bring your state bragging gear for the Taste of Home (previously called Taste of Sunshine) Event! It was a great event last season and people out of town wanted reminders before they arrived south!!
What makes your home state special? What will we be Tasting? Want a contest? Or just plain fun? Is Suzie up for another auction? How many different states do we have attending?

Rock club meets Monday at 1 in the hall. It’s been a while since we have made rocks for veterans so how about we paint some for our Sunshine veterans? Just bring yourself and we have everything you need to paint patriotic and thank you for serving rocks. See Examples Below. - Cathy Richmond

The curling machine in the strength room has a broken seat handle. We found it this last Wed morning. Moving forward if you break a piece of machinery, please tell us so we can get parts ordered on a timely basis. We’re ordering the parts today. It is still safe to use just please do not try to adjust the seat.
