  • SEPO Newsletters: 2024-2025 | Sunshine Estates

    THIS PAGE CONTAINS SEPO NEWSLETTERS FROM THE 2024-2025 SEASON. Articles for the Monthly Newsletter (published Oct thru Mar) are due to ( seponewsletter@gmail.com ) by the 24th of each month in order to be published for the following month. Go directly to the Year-Month Newsletter you are looking for and click on the 'News Icon". *************************** March/April 2025 Revised 2025-02-26 HAPPY ST. PAT'S DAY & HAPPY SPRING *************************** February 2025 HAPPY VALENTINES DAY *************************** January 2025 HAPPY NEW YEAR *************************** December 2024 MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR *************************** November 2024 H APPY THANKSGIVING *************************** October 2024 Welcome Back Winter Texans & HAPPY HALLOWEEN IMPORTANT INFO CONCERNING SUNSHINE NEWSLETTERS 2024-2025. Sent 2024-09-10: REMINDER (first): OCT 2024 Newsletter Articles Due by End of Day SEP 24, 2024 - Yes - It's that time of year already. The Sunshine Community 2024-2025 Winter Season (10-01-2024 thru 03-31-2024) is almost here. And I've volunteered to create your Sunshine Newsletter again this year. I made an executive decision last weekend. Since some of this winter season's activities start right off the bang near the beginning of October, I think sending the first reminder that the October 2024 Newsletter articles are due by end of day on the 24th of this month (September) is warranted. All articles need to be submitted to seponewsletter@gmail.com . And, if at all possible, please don't wait until you get the next reminder (later in September) to send me your articles. But, if you are waiting for as many details as possible to be finalized, I totally understand. This is a super way to get the word out about upcoming activities. Even if you don't have all of the information finalized by the Newsletter deadline, at least put 'what you do know so far' or even just a 'Save the Date' sentence in the Newsletter. Updated Newsletter Guidelines , dated Aug 1, 2024 , are posted on the website HERE . Prior Newsletters, which you can use as examples, can be found HERE . Let's fill this Newsletter with all kinds of good info for the Sunshine Community. Please contact me with any issues/questions. Beth Parrish, SEPO Newsletter Mgr Email: seponewsletter@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2024-08-04: NEWSLETTER Guidelines Updated - I noticed last week the Newsletter guidelines still listed the previous sepoenews email in error. I have updated the guidelines to fix a couple of grammatical errors and also to reflect sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com as the correct email for SEPO emails. You can find the updated document HERE . Please contact me with any questions. - Beth Parrish SEPO Newsletter Mgr Email: seponewsletter@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Back to Top

If you are planning to have some work done around your home, be sure you know who you are hiring to do the work. We have a Mr. Fix It-List on the Sunshine website, which can be very helpful. Referrals from neighbors are helpful. Be sure to get a bid so you know what you expect it to cost. Do not pay the entire amount upfront. Be wary of solicitors who come to your door uninvited, even if they come with an excuse to be in the neighborhood for some other reason. This is not an accusation against any person or company, but rather a reminder that you must protect yourself in your business dealings. - Share Nelson, President, SEPO Sent 2023-09-08: Resident passing - I wanted to inform the community that Jim Foster passed away early this morning at his home. - Lenore Combs Sent 2023-09-08: Name Tags Are In & Names are on Website - Rather than posting the names of those who need to pick up their Name Tags from the office on the Website in plain sight in the 'emails sent' section (HERE ), I have created a page in the 'Residents Only' section (HERE ) with the list of names of the 'recent' Name Tags received by the Office and also the list of names of the 'past' Name Tags which Valerie has had in the Office for some time. - Beth Parrish SEPO Website Admin E-Mail: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2023-09-08: Concern over "workers" in Sunshine - Dear Friends, Today, 7 September 2023, there was a Hispanic man in here driving a white pick-up truck (sort of late model, well-used condition etc).

I questioned him and he said he had work (my impression was it was in Encore at Anita's house - but he was parked (on the cement) by the railing passthrough. He also mentioned he had work for Nancy Steel too - with a gesture of his hand. Now, come to find out he is a scammer! A significant story of concern was revealed to the Harlingen Police Dept, and they will be in contact this morning. If you are aware of any other shenanigans - please contact me. Please be on the alert for this wise guy "looking for work". His name is John Joseph (and his mother's name is Mary), so he says.

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 .

  • Golf Events (Winter 2025-2026) | Sunshine Estates

    Golf Events during the winter season (2025-2026). Golf Events (Oct 1, 2025 thru Mar 31, 2026) Additional Details GNDGT *************** WINTER 2025-2026 Good Neighbor Day Golf Tournament (GNDGT) ************************** From: trtramel@gmail.com Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2025 4:01 PM To: Valerie - Office Cc: Various Subject: GNDGT Schedule shift for 2026 We have investigated shifting the three-day tournament by a day, so it would occur during the week, and not end on a Saturday. We also looked into conflicts this might entail as we pursued this potential. I went into the Women's Golf meeting a week ago and asked them if they would consider allowing the GNDGT to begin on a Wednesday and finish the following Friday. I stated this would depend upon their considering giving up one day of the Women's Golf. I indicated they could play on Monday, the week of the GNDGT. I received a phone call from Dana Szretter, 2025 President of Women’s Golf, who indicated that they considered my request and had voted to defer Women's Golf on Wednesday, during the scheduled week of GNDGT, March 25, 2026. The golf course would be reserved as follows: Women’s Golf on Monday, February 23, 2026, Men's Golf on Tuesday, February 24, 2026 GNDGT on February 25, 26, and 27, 2026 I further confirmed that having Women's Golf on Monday for this last week of February appears to work based on my discussion with Scott Kronshage. Please find attached modifications of the activity’s requests related to shifting the GNDGT from Thursday through Saturday to Wednesday through Friday for 2026. The text in these requests mentions the Women’s League Golf shifting their typical day of play from Wednesday, February 25, to Monday, February 23, 2026. I also want to make sure that we have historically kept open the possibility of a one-week delay for rain dates if the weather does not cooperate. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Tony Tramel Cell 337-693-6344 ************************** From: Tony Tramel Sent: Monday, March 10, 2025 3:46 PM To: 2025 SEPO Board Subject: 2026 Good Neighbor Golf Tournament Next year's 2026 GNDGT is planned for Thursday through Saturday, Feb 26th through Feb 28th, 2026. We are attempting to modify these dates by one day by having the tournament shift to Wednesday through Friday in the same week. We will advise you if we are successful in causing this change, which requires some rescheduling of other golf activities at Sunshine Estates Country Club. Tony Tramel GNDGT Chair Back to Top

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?

Also, as you're playing you put a penny on each spot that matches the card that's been called. If you get a Pokeno you win everybody's pennies that they have on their cards at that time. There are other ways to win also, like if you get 4 of a kind, 4 corners, etc. No skills needed. No partners. If 3 or less people show up, we cancel. It's not hard, it's a lot of fun.

All other activities/meetings (i.e., Other Golf events, Quilters, Line Dancing, Cards, etc). “PROCESS” for getting an Activity/Meeting request approved. Requestor: Obtain Activity/Meeting Room Request Form from: SEPO office or Document Slot in the Library or Sunshine Web site HERE Submit completed request form to the SEPO Office Mgr as per the priority/time requirements defined in “Item 2” above. If the request form is not ‘required’ in 2.a. above, it should be submitted at least three (3) days prior to the event, if possible. The form should contain as much information as the submitter is aware of at the time of requested approval. As additional details are finalized, such as the actual time of the event versus prep and cleanup times, this new/revised information needs to be supplied to the Office by submitting a revised request form, if possible. This will ensure event conflicts don’t occur and both the SEPO Calendar and the Sunshine website are updated/accurate. When an activity/meeting is cancelled please inform the SEPO Office. For example, a request had been submitted to play a particular card game for a three month period and the group decides to cancel this activity after two months. A revised activity request form will trigger this change to be reflected in both the SEPO Calendar and the website and let residents know the location is now available for others to use. SEPO Board: The Board formally approves/rejects requests submitted for review at the March Board Mtg each year (see 2.a. and 2.b. above). Again, any requests submitted for review at the March Board Mtg need to be in the SEPO Office before March 1 to give the Board time to review them prior to the March mtg. SEPO Office Mgr: March Board meeting – Ensures all requests to be reviewed at the March Board meeting are forwarded to the Board as soon as received in the office. After March Board meeting – Reviews all other requests as they are submitted to ensure the date(s) and time(s) requested do not conflict with anything already approved and scheduled. For these requests the SEPO Office may contact the Board Secretary and/or the SEPO Communications Manager to get questions answered, issues resolved and/or obtain advice concerning approval/rejection of the request. Approves/rejects and dates the request. Notifies the Requestor of ‘Acceptance’ or ‘Rejection’ (and reason why, if rejected) of the request. (The requestor should be provided with and file a copy of his/her accepted/rejected Request Form for his/her records.) Files the Request Form in the SEPO Office (either electronically or physically). Records/Updates the activity/meeting in the SEPO Office calendar. Ensures the Sunshine Website Manager receives the information to post on the website. “Changes” after Approval. As stated previously, the requestor should provide as much information as possible on the original request form. The form should include days/times for all three of the following, as applicable: activity preparation (decorating, cooking etc) the activity itself (i.e., dinner and dance) cleanup (taking down decorations, rearranging tables/chairs etc) NOTE: Please avoid simply requesting to reserve the area(s) where you are holding your event for the ‘entire day’ – unless you will truly be needing the area(s) from 12 AM to 11:59 PM. As additional details, days/times etc, become final or are changed , please submit a ‘revised’ Activity Request Form and note on this revision the date of the original request, which was previously returned to you when it was approved. “Timeframes” on Activity Requests. When you are requesting an area for a recurring activity i.e., Cards and you don’t know what timeframe you will be needing the area for, you may leave the end day/time blank or say ‘unknown’. This will be entered into the SEPO Calendar and the website with no end date. However, when/if you do stop holding the event, you need to complete a revised form so that the office knows your reserved area is now open for others to reserve. This will trigger the office to inform the website manager and will consequently keep the community informed of which activities are occurring at any time. There has been confusion in the past about whether an activity that only occurs during the winter season, i.e., a SEPO Club meeting or a particular card game, needs an Activity Request form completed for each winter season. The answer is ‘yes’. Do Not Assume your ‘winter only’ activity will remain in the SEPO Calendar and on the website during upcoming winter seasons without being approved again. There may be other circumstances not addressed in this process about when you do or don’t need to submit an Activity Request form. When in doubt, submit a form to the office. If there are questions concerning any of the above, please contact the SEPO Office.

We have many donated items, such as patterns, tools, glass, etc., so you need nothing but your own imagination, and your two hands, and a desire to try this art form. Classes are held in the woodshop, which is located in the storage area, and you will need your front gate clicker in order to enter. There is no exact order for the classes, so if you miss a week, that is not a problem. I am hoping to have a few other glass artists to assist in helping people feel more comfortable working with the glass. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. If I don't answer, please leave me a voicemail and I will promptly return your call. - Cathy Chajec, 708-280-8910 Back to Top *************** COMPLETE Coffee & Donuts Sent 2024-11-06: Coffee & Donuts in the Library - I wanted to let everyone know that 'Coffee & Donuts' will be available again this winter season on every Thursday in the Library @ 8 AM, starting tomorrow (Nov 7).
