SEPO Community Emails: June 2023

Sent 2023-06-30: Pool Update - 

Hi Everyone!

Quick update on the pool area. As of this afternoon the new equipment will have been installed. This involves a new, and much needed heater for the hot tub. The old one was not reliable so this should solve our problem and give us even heat in the hot tub.

 

Also, there will be a new sand filter for both hot tub and pool. Sand will give us a better filtering system and be more efficient. This will not only give us a better filtering system, but make the chemicals do a better job.

 

Lalo did his usual great job in the installation. Pat him on the back when you see him!!!

 

Everyone have a Safe 4th!!!!!!!

Dancing is encouraged and line-dancing will absolutely be happening. You don’t have to participate, but it sure is nice to have people there supporting those that are. Hope to see you there!

Sent 2023-06-14: UPDATE: Texas Gate - 

An update on the gate;

 

Hurricane Fence was notified about issues with the gate cycling open and close multiple times before staying closed. It wasn’t happening all the time but was not what we were expecting.


They had discussed it with the manufacturer and their techs and thought the SOS/Yelper was picking up sound coming from the gate and causing the gate to open, that’s what the codes in the opener were saying.


So they’ve moved the SOS/Yelper further from the gate to see if that will solve that problem.
 

If you see issues with the gate please note the time and date and let me know

Thanks, Thomas Perrier

Sent 2023-06-11: TX Ave Gate - 

Hello All,

Earlier this week I was notified that the gate was not closing when it should. I contacted Hurricane Fence to service the gate and I believe they came on Friday. I asked Lalo to check on the gate Friday night and Saturday morning and he said it was working.


I asked Frank Tewell to check on the gate Saturday night and he said it was working as of 7:05.
Thank you Frank!

If you see an issue with the gate opening or closing, please send me an email or text with the time and date.

I am not in Texas at this time. If you have a question or concern please call/text/email me.

Thank you

Good Neighbor Golf Tournament 2024

​

Thursday, February 29th through Saturday, March 2, 2024

 

Gift Baskets

 

Hello Sunshine Estates friends:

 

As you may recall, as part of our Good Neighbor Day Golf Tournament’s Awards Banquet we have provided unique prizes provided by our Residents. This letter is to help remind you, while you are “back home in the northlands", to consider maintaining this tradition for our 2024 Tournament. 

 

We are soliciting your help in continuing to prepare “Gift Baskets” of items found locally in your area during your summer stay.  We suggest selecting things that set your home area apart from others.  These gift baskets will be awarded as prizes during our Awards Banquet.  I am aware of several recipients in the past of these unique gift basket prizes, who have indicated how blessed they were to receive these baskets, and they genuinely appreciated Sunshine Residents’ generosity.

 

In our 2023 Awards Banquet, one of the people who received a Gift Basket in the prior year donated a beautiful quilt made by his wife to pay it forward. 

 

For example, I most recently lived in Lafayette, Louisiana. So, I will put together a basket of “Cajun items”; seasoning, rice, Tabasco /hot sauces, Beignet mix, cookbooks, and locally brewed beer/wine for our gift basket.

 

Just think of items your area is famous for and start accumulating them to bring back with you.  We want the baskets in the $30-$50 value range. 

-

-By preparing the baskets we are also providing a showcase for various products that are in North America where:  Sunshine Estate residents live during the summer time.

I hope to see everyone in the Valley in a few months.

Sent 2023-06-06: OFFICE OFF LIMITS - 

Valerie is under self-quarantine for these next five days. She is following all procedures required. HOWEVER, because she is feeling well enough, and because she feels she needs to tackle certain chores in the office (such as payroll, etc.) she plans to come to the office to work at later hours. She will wipe everything down as she has been trained when she leaves but it is best if our residents avoid the office area. If you need to make a payment, it can wait. And yes, she has been vaccinated.

Sunshine Rock Painting Club Members -

I'm tentatively planning on driving to Southern Stone & Soil, TUESDAY, 6 June 2023, 8am to buy rocks for myself.

Anyone interested in taking a trip there to buy rocks?

Southern Stone usually treats us very well, using a golf cart to and from the rocks, weigh them and put the rocks into the trunk.

Just let me know.
