- 2024-07 Emails | Sunshine Estates
S EPO Community Emails: July 2024 Sent 2024-07-31: UPDATED Explanation: Sunshine Home For Sale/Rent Guidelines - This morning in rereading my email below that got sent out overnight, I need to clarify something. Instead of saying (The primary update concerns a resident who is using a Realtor to sell the home) - I should have said - (When a resident uses a Realtor to sell the home). NOTE: The email below was in no way intended for any one person. There have actually been several Realtors involved in Sunshine home sales over the past few months. I was hoping, with this email and the guideline update, to eliminate me having to notify residents utilizing realtors each time about exactly what it is I need from their realtor. Hope this clarifies my intention. Again, please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. - Beth Parrish, SEPO Website Admin Email: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From: SEPO Community (Sunshine) EMails Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2024 12:05 AM To: sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com Subject: UPDATED: Sunshine Home For Sale/Rent Guidelines Hi All - I hope your summer has been going well, in spite of the heat and rains that have plagued a lot of us. There has been some home selling activity going on in the Estates recently that has prompted me to review and consequently update the "Sunshine Home For Sale/Rent Guidelines" listed on the web site HERE . The primary update concerns a resident who is using a Realtor to sell the home. I'm not going to go into detail in this email since I already explained everything in the guidelines update. Please click on the link above to refresh yourself with the guidelines and see the updates. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. - Beth Parrish, SEPO Website Admin Email: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2024-07-31: Neighborhood Watch - invitation to National Night Out - Dear Friends, I wish to thank Mary Grande and all of you for doing the NW detail. Mary shares the monthly calendar. Wish we had a few more volunteers - It's not fair that only a handful of residents are supporting this. Many homes are empty, I get that - but the more the merrier for the Bad Guys to take a chance. Having a NW go around with a blinking lite messes up the rationale for the Bad Guys - they don't know if we are here or not. If they knew how many homes were left - don't you think they would be planning a move????? Please think about doing a nite or so - you will be fully oriented. Sincere THANKS! Next Tuesday 6 August 6pm - 9pm (or so) The city of Harlingen will be holding its annual National Night Out Find us at 350 Fair Park Ave. Harlingen - at Lon C Hill Park --across diagonally from the Police Department. I will be assigned a spot for NW and have a hand-out.! WE (SCCE) will have a booth there to advertise to the city what a great National Night Out we have here and how much our residents appreciate it and how much "Bad Guys' come visiting much less - and it is all a thanks to you !. Please show up - bring your easy chair and sit a bit. There will be lots of refreshments so don't make dinner! We hope many other subdivisions and homes come looking for answers to their questions about Neighborhood Watch. I expect to have a give-away trifold brochure on NW. At the moment, it is under review by our HPD Friends (et al). (Ofr. Benny) HPD Imagine how much this program would help in their community!!!!!. Many residents are not able to brag about their NW but instead they cry when the Bad Guys visit their premises and "borrow their stuff". " The local Police and many other similar groups will be there. Be there or Be square. Honestly, hope to see you there - even for a bit of time! I will place a signup sheet in the SEPO Library. There will be some of our new CPA graduates present - hope you get to meet them and possibly consider taking this class. (Citizens Police Academy) Upon graduation you then can join our CPA Alumni. y Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 Neighborhood Watch Coordinator for SCCE Citizens Police Academy Alumni Sent 2024-07-30: Office Closed - Office will be closed Friday Aug 2 & 5 - 8 (M - Th).

Cannot believe it is July already. We have, as most of you know, been experiencing some warm weather. The hurricane in the Atlantic is heading for Mexico and the weather man said last night it probably won’t give us any problems, but wait til closer this week-end to check it out. The palm trees have all been trimmed and look good. The Board has been doing their thing---Tony is planning a pool deck refinish and should look great when it is done. Randy is busy with the golf course and has it looking sharp. Tom is all over the place and available when anyone needs him. Tracy is doing her thing, and as usual, doing an outstanding job. Thanks to all of them. The ACC is meeting (even this AM) and keeping our community a place we can be proud to live. Frank and Scott are scattered all over the USA!!!!! It is very quiet here this time of year, but a few activities have kept everyone moving. Hope everybody is having a wonderful summer, Have a Happy and Safe 4th!!! - Jim Kennedy, President SEPO Sent 2024-07-01: NOTICE: Private Event scheduled in Retzlaff Hall July 6, 2024 - I wanted to notify / remind everyone there is a Private Event scheduled in Retzlaff Hall on Saturday, July 6, 2024.

Then they answered residents’ questions. I personally want to thank all of them for stepping up. I know my time on the Board was very rewarding and I LEARNED A LOT. The proposed Covenants ballots were explained by Share Nelson (president) with input from other Board members, followed by many great questions from residents. I explained and answered questions about the actual voting process and the various documents contained in the Ballot Packets. Then we ate goodies provided by the Women's Club.

We thought we were recording the "Meet & Greet" session via Google Meet, but have not received anything from Google. And I'm betting we don't. For my own benefit, I had turned on my tape recorder. Although you may hear some paper rustling in the background, I think for the most part, this will provide valuable information to those who could not attend the session yesterday. And to those who did, it can be a refresher. Here's another kicker - darn it. I didn't look down to see my recorder wasn't on until after the three candidates had introduced themselves. I so totally apologize for missing that section. The recording does start: When I opened the session up to questions to the Board candidates. That was followed by an explanation of the three ballots by the Board, followed by lots of very good questions. Then I spoke and also answered questions about the ballot / voting processes themselves. Again, lots of great questions were asked. And we munched on sweets provide by the Women's Club throughout the entire event. Yum.

However, this is exactly the time of year that SEPO Election Committees get into gear. If you attended the Dec 19 Special Board Meeting or have viewed the video of this meeting, you are aware that I have volunteered to be the 2024 SEPO Election Committee chairperson and the Board voted unanimously to appoint me to that position. I have already been working on some of the upfront committee tasks. I have updated the Election Committee Guidebook, thanks to a collaborated effort of both myself and your SEPO Board President, Share Nelson. It is almost ready to present to the entire Board for their approval. I'm also working on a Project Plan of all of the tasks - from the smallest of small to the largest of large - that need to be performed between now and when I turn over the tallied vote count to the Board at the Feb 20 Annual Shareholders Meeting. So the next 'large' task for me to accomplish is to fill seats (so to speak) on the committee. I currently have five volunteers, some of which can only help part-time. I'm looking for 10-15 (and possibly more) people to do a variety of tasks, the largest of them being "Stuffing the Ballot Envelopes" sometime around Jan 14-15 AND "Counting Votes" between the 1 pm and 3 pm meetings on Feb 20. If you think you might be interested at all in helping me out, give me a call to discuss. If I don't get enough volunteers in the next few days, I'm going to start cold-calling. Wouldn't you rather volunteer before hearing me beg on the phone. 😁 Thanks in advance for your consideration of this matter. Happy Holidays !!!

Before After Clogged Gutter Cutting down this tree will allow us to look at the possibilities moving forward by not allowing this tree to clog gutters and add a burden of more water to our roofs. I’m doing everything I can to keep the cost down concerning roof repair, which we will focus on in the fall. It would be more cost-effective to do the roof's gutters and downspouts all in one fell swoop, rather than piecework, where they would have to take apart some of the material that they have installed to do additional work, rather than do everything all at one time. Concerning the garden that was under the tree, I have spoken with Susanne and she is looking forward to presenting it to the Garden Club and/or the Women’s Club to come up with an idea of what we’d like to put in that area. Personally I would like to see an outdoor area of some sort where somebody could have a quiet lunch around a picnic table away from the pool area and/or a nice little outdoor meeting area with native plants, cactuses and palms that require little to no maintenance. I believe this would be an asset for ourselves and future owners in our community as a nice first impression when they pull up to the office. You can direct questions / concerns to me. Pat Heinerikson, SEPO Board Director (Common Area 1) 816-810-2862 heineriksonp@gmail.com Sent 2025-04-26: Common Courtesy Request - When a 'mess' is made in a common area in our community, it is common courtesy to clean it up yourself, notify a SEPO employee for assistance or notify a board member for assistance. Last week, a board member was notified that there was human feces on the floor in the fitness room women's bathroom. This unhealthy situation was not attended to for almost 24 hours. This is unacceptable for so many reasons. We understand accidents happen, but PLEASE don't leave a mess and then walk away without doing something. If you see something, say something so these situations can be addressed immediately. Thank you. - SEPO Board Sent 2025-04-24: Texas Ave - Hi, This is to address the conversations, emails and phone calls I've had with many of the owners at Sunshine, about the email John Chajec recently sent. John sent an email to many in the community talking about the drainage ditches, retention area and the possibility of dredging in the wetland area near Texas Ave. I believe the thought is to allow for more water to be stored in the retention area. I reached out to Pat Harvey to see what the history was with this area and if Sunshine had ever dredged there? Pat said that Sunshine had not. Pat told me he reached out to many of the local government entities and the state, when they were doing improvements to Texas Ave. And was told that it was under the jurisdiction of the Army Core of Engineers. Pat had a conversation with them and the short version was do not dig, fill or disturb the area that John is referring to, as the retention area. It is part of a Watershed District they control. Pat told me that the Army Core of Engineers had created the pond west of Sunshine when the intestate was built. One of the items John discussed in his email was how much water from our neighbors comes into Sunshine. We are unfortunately from my observations and the phone call with Pat, the low spot in the neighborhood. So any heavy rains in the area, ultimately go through those ditches behind Minnesota Ave. And if the ditches north and east (downstream) are full, there's no where for our water to go. I think I understand the intent of the email and I'm sympathetic to those concerns, but having spoken to Pat about this and his conversation with the Army Core of Engineers, I don't see removing material from that area as an option for storing excess water. If anyone has other information about this area, feel free to contact me. - Tom Perrier SEPO Board Director Area 2 Sent 2025-04-22: Pump - Hi all! Someone has unplugged the pump at the Texas Avenue dog park. If there’s a problem with the pump please let me know or the office. The pump is on a GFI outlet, but where it’s at is in standing water. If that GFI fails you could get electrocuted. Lalo is installing a lock on the box. Thank you - Tom Perrier, SEPO Board Sent 2025-04-20: Construction materials in the Sunshine streets - For you walkers out there, over the next few weeks, if you wouldn’t mind keeping an eye out for nails and screws in the road. It’s not really a late Easter egg hunt, but it would help our community tremendously. If you pick up more than 20 in a day, you can brag if you wish. However, as a reminder there is a section in the SEPO Policies & Procedures that directly addresses this sort of situation. CONSTRUCTION The disposal of any residue from a resident/homeowner’s construction site is the responsibility of the property owner. It is the responsibility of the property owner to maintain the site in an orderly and safe condition. Any building material (nail, screw, etc.) originating from the site that might puncture a tire found on an adjacent street or driveway and turned in to the SEPO Office shall result in a fine of $10 per item. The fine shall be added to the homeowner’s monthly or annually assessed association fees. - SEPO Board Sent 2025-04-18: WC Easter Sunrise Service: Printable Flyer - You can access a printable flyer for the Sunday Easter service HERE .

However, things are going to be picking up here very quickly (both at Sunshine and with me personally) and I would like everyone to go back to the pre-SEPO Facebook practice of sending the info you would like published in SEPO emails directly to me at the email address in my signature below. Email guidelines are HERE . Doing this, along with it still being published on Facebook if you wish, will ensure all pertinent info gets to the community, particularly to those who don't use Facebook.

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.

NOTE: The website administrator would very much like to help you with the sale or rental of your home by sending the information to the Sunshine community via a SEPO email and listing it on the Sunshine website. However, the information supplied concerning your sale cannot simply be a link to a realtor’s website. Sunshine does not advertise for realtors. The information requested above needs to be provided by either you or your realtor. If your realtor puts your pictures in a ‘cloud’ location, other than just on the realtor's website, that link can be posted on the Sunshine website. The Sunshine website will be updated as soon as the information is received concerning a new or updated listing. Common practice is that a “single” SEPO (Sunshine Estates Property Owners) email of all additions or updates that week will be sent to the community on Saturday mornings . Key things to remember about this process - You or your agent must “immediately” inform the SEPO office of your ‘For Sale’ listing. If renting, you must also inform the SEPO office and either you or the renter must go to the office and fill out the ‘Renters Emergency Information’ form. You or your agent need to keep the Web Administrator informed when your home needs to be removed from the listing page. Do this by sending an email to sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com . If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at my information below. Beth Parrish Sunshine Website Admin Email: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Back to Top

The Harlingen Police Department becomes familiar with these families, currently is collecting toys and hereby requests if anyone at Sunshine can please donate a gift ($10.00 or so).
