The contractor’s project notice and projected completion plan , which shows the anticipated order of work throughout the community, can be found at this LINK . Please note that the schedule may change based on weather, road conditions, or the contractor's progress. What is Reclamite? Reclamite is a pavement preservation treatment designed to rejuvenate and protect our existing asphalt roads . Rather than waiting for the pavement to deteriorate to the point that major repairs or resurfacing are required, this treatment restores flexibility to the asphalt and slows the effects of aging, weather, and oxidation. The treatment is projected to extend the useful life of our roadways by approximately five years or more, helping SEPO protect the significant investment we have already made in our streets and delay the need for more costly road replacement or resurfacing. What Residents Need to Know Please do not park on the asphalt roadway on Monday or Tuesday, October 12–13. This includes vehicles belonging to residents, guests, contractors, caregivers, service providers, or anyone visiting your home. Keeping the streets clear will help the contractor move through the community efficiently and prevent delays. As work reaches your street: Please follow any directions provided by the contractor or SEPO. Do not drive or park on pavement that has just been treated until the crew indicates that it is ready for traffic. You may notice a temporary change in the pavement's appearance during and immediately after treatment. This is a normal part of the preservation process. If work remains in your area on Wednesday, October 14, please follow any temporary parking or traffic restrictions still in place. The contractor will also place door hangers on Sunday morning reminding residents that work will begin the following day. The preprinted contractor notice uses the word “tomorrow” because we will use the same notice for the Sunday door hangers. We appreciate everyone's cooperation in keeping vehicles off the streets and allowing the contractor to complete this project as efficiently as possible. This preventative maintenance is an important step in protecting SEPO's roadways and extending their useful life while helping the community avoid significantly more expensive repairs in the future. Thank you for your cooperation and patience during the project.

SUNSHINE HEROES Wall of Honor (Started Jan 8, 2020) *************** Sent 2020-11-14: Sunshine Heroes Wall of Honor - Project Background - It was decided here at Sunshine that we would recognize our neighbors, not for a single act of heroism but their heroic service. We wanted to recognize the people from our community who made a commitment to give part of their lives for the benefit of others. This is what the SUNSHINE HEROES Wall of Honor represents. It is our way to recognize them and say thank you for your service. Last Spring in Retzlaff Hall, we unveiled our Sunshine Heroes Wall of Honor complete with their engraved names on an individual metal plate. There is also a Memory Book of photos of our heroes. This touching monument serves as a reminder that many of our residents sacrificed their lives for the freedom we enjoy today. (See picture below.) You may support this wall by completing an application and some brief information (form available at SEPO Office). We would like a photo in uniform. Jim Tennant is available for questions 616 866 9960. What is a Veteran? - whether retired, discharged, active duty or reserve – is someone who at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to ”The United States of America” for an amount up to and including his or her life. (Author unknown) What Is A Hero? - Dictionary.com defines a hero as a person noted for courageous acts or nobility of character. A true hero is someone who gives of themselves for the benefit of others, sometimes at great personal risk. There are many in our community who have given parts of their lives in the service of our country regardless of the risk. There are those who have chosen a career of community service – Law enforcement, First Responders and Fire Fighters are examples. All these people have given freely of themselves for the benefit of others. These are a few examples of what we can all recognize as heroes, but we do not usually honor them for their service. If you save a person from a car accident or give CPR to someone you would be recognized for heroism. The person who donates blood to help others is a hero. A person who may donate an organ or bone marrow is a hero. Are these very special people any more heroic then the others who served us? Jim Tennant Sent 2020-03-21: SUNSHINE HEROES - As another winter season comes to a close, I just want to give you all a reminder about the SUNSHINE HEROES wall. In case you haven’t seen it, the wall is up in Retzlaff Hall and has 41 names on it. Those of you who have made a pledge for this project, I will be coming around this week to collect. I want to thank all those who have donated to this project both monetarily and with their time and labor. The applications are still available from Valerie in the SEPO office. When you complete your application return it to Valerie along with your picture. If you do not have a picture or prefer a current picture be sure to check the box on the form that you will need a picture taken. I will be contacting you upon my return in the fall to take a current picture for this book. Remember as we travel home to be safe and when you get there find your favorite picture of you or your spouse, in uniform or not, to be placed in the book that is placed with the display wall. I want to have this SUNSHINE HEROS display to represent all of the people who served. Jim Tennant 4161 N Missouri (616)866-9960 Email: jimbuck1050@yahoo.com Sent 2020-02-20: SUNSHINE HEROES UPDATE - This is a final call for this season for our residents who served in the armed forces of all nations and the men and women in our community who served as Police Officers, Fire Fighters and EMT/First Responders. The service wall plans are moving along. The wall display is to recognize residents living and deceased where the surviving spouse or other relation resides within the estates. I will be available in the library on March 12, 2020 between 10:00 and 12:00 to take pictures and accept applications. If you have a picture I will be accepting them at these times. If residents want their picture or their spouse’s picture included on the wall they will need to fill out an application form. These forms are available in the office. Check with Valerie to get one, or see me. My information is below. She also has pledge forms available if you need one. The picture you provide for use will be copied and returned, please write on the application form so that I can return your picture. All name plates and pictures that are placed on the wall and in the book should remain there indefinitely. I want to inform our residents on the status of this project. The wall is installed and the name plates are ordered. Engraving is being done on 28 of the plates, as that is the amount of applicants we had when the order was placed. Additional plates will be engraved as we receive applications. The pledges that I asked for at the Annual Meeting are coming in with many neighbors preferring to make cash donations rather than a pledge. I am keeping an accounting of all donations and expenditures and will make it available for anyone to see upon request. It is hoped that the first name plates will be on the wall very soon. Thank you for your pledges and donations towards this project and for those still to come in.

S EPO Community E-Mails: April 2021 Sent 2021-04-28:Pool and hot tub - The repairman came today. He ordered the part to fix the heater for the pool. It might be here by Friday. The pool is usable just not heated. We are aware that half the jets in the hot tub are not working. One of the Big Jets that controls half the little jets in the hot tub is broken. The Big Jet is old. Our repairman is searching for replacement parts. We hope he can locate them because buying a new Big Jet will be very expensive. That being explained, we will limp along with half the little jets working while we explore what needs to be done to fix the situation. The hot tub is hot and usable. Thanks for your patience.

Valerie Basaldua Office Mgr Sent 2021-04-07: FOUND: Drill - A drill was found on the road and has been turned into the Office. Valerie Basaldua Sent 2021-04-06: PLEASE READ: Hot Tub Facts - Did you know? Children under the age of 5 should not be allowed in any hot tub. It is just too dangerous for their little bodies. Children are susceptible to ear infections and damaging their eyes if they put their heads under water. (Adults too). There is a higher concentration of impurities (urine, dead body cells, etc.) in a hot tub than a pool. There is less water in a hot tub to dilute the impurities than in a swimming pool. KEEP YOUR HEAD ABOVE WATER while in a hot tub. A child’s body is not as efficient at regulating its body temperature as an adult's. Children can experience hyperthermia quickly. Hot tubs should not be considered play areas. If a youngster goes in the hot tub, he or she should SIT for a maximum of 5 to 10 minutes depending upon the size of the youngster. A responsible adult should be within an arm's length of the youngster at all times. The Red Cross recommends that hot tubs regularly used by children be under 100 degrees. The Sunshine hot tub is set at 102 degrees. After reading this, if you want your young ones to use the hot tub, please, monitor them very, very carefully.

I definitely want to ensure everyone - it was a 'technical' error. The Google Meet session said it was recording and I verified to Tony just prior to the meeting that I thought it was as well. You will hear that on the recording I'm linking to below. However, the meeting did not get recorded. Normally Tony gets an e-mail from Google within 2-5 hrs after the meeting stating the video is available for downloading. This time - no e-mail - no video. In order for me to be accurate and thorough (or as some may interpret as lengthy - LOL) I also start my tape recorder at the beginning of all of our meetings. In order to be totally transparent with the community, which I guess you could call this Board's motto, I have uploaded my tape recording to the Web site for anyone who wishes to listen to the meeting. Please remember, this recorder is lying beside my laptop, and I also shuffle through lots of paper during a meeting, so you will hear those noises as well. I have listened to the entire tape, and you will definitely be able to hear what transpired during the meeting. It is a ".mp3" file and is available HERE . As I have stated previously, a recap of all Speaker Requests (which there were five of them during the Residents meeting on Dec 13) will also be recorded into the Board meeting minutes from Dec 14, which I will be sending to the community next week. Please call me with any issue/questions.

Sunshine Garden Club: Meetings, News & Events Back to Garden Club Home Sent 2024-11-11: Sunshine Garden Club Time Change - Sunshine Garden Club Time Change November 12th Retzlaff Hall 5:15pm - 6:30pm Guest Speaker Topic: Soil Rejuvenation and Amendments Can you give new life to old potting soil. Absolutely! What about clay garden soil, Yes. Do you have container pots filled with old soil with or without plants? Do you toss the dried up dirt and replace with big box bags of potting mix? What if you need a small amount such as a handful or quart? What if you have lots of containers? Those bags of commercial potting mix can really add up in cost. Let’s breathe new life into that old soil. That just makes sense (cents)! Reusing old potted mix is more satisfying, sustainable, and environmentally friendly. Let’s revitalize that old soil! Are you ready to dig in? Join us for our November get together featuring Michael Navarro. 4:45 pm. Plantings/cuttings are available for a small donation. Snapdragon vine, salvia, basil, porterweed, milkweed, canna starts, crown of thorns, sweet potato vine. If you have extras in your garden feel free to bring. Donations will be put towards edging for gardens.

Fees will be imposed in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights or remedies of the Association allowed by the Declaration or other Rules and Regulations adopted by the Board. B.

The Board may also establish a schedule of fees for certain types of violations.

His smile will be missed Lisa and Tom Perrier Jerry McCullen Sent 2023-07-09: RESIDENTS, REALTORS, RESALE CERTIFICATES and more - Although the following has been provided in meetings with residents and shared in the Sunshine newsletter, it has come to the attention of your Board of Directors that many of our residents are not familiar with certain procedures associated with the sale of homes. If you are contemplating the sale of your home, either on your own or with the help of a realtor, the following information is for you, or your realtor if that is the case. Please share. Our policies restrict your advertising signs as follows: One sign may be placed at the front of the property and one sign at the rear of the property. These signs can be either single sided or two-sided signs, but no larger than one hundred forty-four (144) square inches in size. RESALE CERTIFICATES: In the Board Meeting of September 12, 2022, the Board adopted the following language in Policies & Procedures relating to 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 require that any owner selling his residence must provide a resale certificate to the buyer prior to closing. This must be done whether by sale through a realtor, or a private sale between individuals. This will be provided by SEPO not later than ten days following a request for same 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 rules (Covenants) of the association. In the Board Meeting of October 11, 2022, upon attorney’s advice, it was decided by unanimous vote, that an inspection report by the ACC would be attached to the Resale Certificate . This report is informational only and not for the purpose of deterring a sale. It is strongly recommended, if a property is listed for sale in Sunshine, a request be made right away to the office for an inspection by the ACC. This allows the owner to be prepared, if necessary, to make any corrections prior to requesting the Resale Certificate. There is no charge for such an inspection. Any owner who would like to have an inspection may do so. A report will be kept in the office file of your property. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned. Sincerely, Share Nelson, President Sunshine Estate Property Owners, Inc. 309 269 0686 Sent 2023-07-08: Rock Painting Club - Sunshine Rock Painting Meeting, Monday, 10 July 2023. Karren Amos Sent 2023-07-06: Bad Guys on patrol - Dear Friends - The evening of July 4 our local Bad Guys were out shopping. They have been in Sunshine a few times and thru the RV Park.

And for me personally, that means it's time to think about the Oct 2023 Sunshine Newsletter. Yep, that's right, you all need to start thinking about those great articles you are going to be composing and sending to me, the once-again Sunshine Newsletter Editor. Normally you will be getting Newsletter Reminders on the 17th and 23rd of each month from September thru February. But since this is the first edition of the season, I'm giving you an early reminder. I spent part of Saturday reviewing and making some slight updates to the Newsletter Guidelines. The updated document is available on the website HERE . Again, I’m thinking this first Newsletter in particular, would be a great opportunity for everyone who manages or participates in one of our clubs (like Women's Club or Rock Painting) or activities (like Golf) to ‘get the word out’ about them. I’m hoping that you provide the following types of information for this Newsletter, in addition to the normal Activities info for the month of October: Club/Activity Name Contact Name(s) Is there a Board? Do you ‘meet’? If so, where and when? Are meeting minutes, etc. provided? General Description. Some of this info is on the Website (but may need to be updated ) HERE AND HERE . What needs to be updated/corrected on these pages? What else can be displayed on these pages? What additional pages do we need/want? This is a perfect opportunity: For you to review and become more familiar with the Website . For me to get the Website updated with current and correct info. Remind the community of what a great place Sunshine is to live. As always: Please provide your articles to me – by September 24 at the latest. The earlier the better. When you have your article prepared, please submit it to seponewsletter@gmail.com . If you need some examples of prior year Newsletters, they can be found HERE . Thank you all in advance for helping me get the word out and keeping the community informed. - Beth Parrish SEPO Website Admin E-Mail: seponewsletter@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Back to Top

Where to pick up your large package mail. Large Mail Package Pickup Contact: SEPO Office Location: Back corner of the Billiards Room (located in the Sunburst Building) Details: For your convenience SEPO has converted the Back corner of the Billiards Room to an overflow package pick-up area. You may access this room by using the keypad installed for security and concerns of package theft. This room is available to residents 24/7. Please be sure to close the door securely as you leave. A recent survey from the U.S. Postal Service has revealed that consumers now make 51% of their purchases online and that 26% receive a package once a week. The mail carriers servicing Sunshine usually leave you a notice in your mailbox indicating there is a package for you. Please try to pick these up in a timely fashion. SEPO does not provide a designated staff member to accept and store packages. If you have experienced a mis-delivery of items, please notify Valerie in the Office. Porch Pirates: Since some packages get left at your doorstep, an infuriating trend has developed. A disturbing statistic bears out that close to 30% of Americans have fallen victim to this kind of theft from Jan thru Oct 2025. That equals around 250,000 packages stolen per day amounting to about $15,000,000,000. The Porch Pirate (thief) targets a special area so they can maximize their reward. A Ring (or similar) Video Doorbell device may be a solution. Or ask a neighbor to look out for your delivery and take your package to their home. There is also a Package Guard – a nifty device with a weight sensitive stand on which the delivery drivers place your package. Should a Porch Pirate be interested and try to swipe your delivery, the Package Guard sounds a very loud alarm and the thief takes off. Tracking Notifications – this helps you to know there has been a delivery and you can check online or by receiving emails or texts. Back to Top
