Sent 2025-09-09: INTRODUCTION: New SEPO Newsletter Mgr - Hello, SEPO Residents and Renters! As the 2025-2026 Winter Season will be here more quickly than we think, I wanted to introduce myself to all of you as the new Editor of the SEPO Women’s Club Newsletter. My husband, Bryan, & I, moved into the Sunshine Country Club Estates Community in March of 2024. Coming from Northeastern Wisconsin, we appreciate the warmer weather that Southeast Texas offers. The people have been so welcoming and friendly, and we look forward to getting to know “all y’all” better! Your previous Editor for the Newsletter, Beth Parish, has been a Godsend! She has been so helpful and patient with me trying to figure all of this out! Her encouragement has meant the world to me, a person who knows just enough about computer technology to be dangerous. I only hope that I can do justice to the amazing work she has done over the past six years for our community! Being new to this challenge, I ask for the SEPO Community’s patience while I get familiar with the process. I will be sending out reminders to you to submit articles for SEPO Events, as well as Club Activities and Announcements for the October SEPO Newsletter on both September 17 & 23. If possible, I would appreciate any information that you have ready be sent to me even before those dates. Feel free to contact me or send me information at the Email address below. I look forward to hearing from all of you! Sincerely, Cyndi Skidmore SEPO Newsletter Editor seponewsletter@gmail.com Back to Top

Activities: Special (2026-2027 Winter Season) Additional Details Resident Photos (2026-2027) Private Events *************** UPCOMING (2026/2027) Resident Photos Newsletter 2026-03: Resident Picture Directory - Back in November when I was filling in for Valerie during her vacation, a representative from Universal Church Directories stopped in to talk about creating a photo directory for our community. I took all the information, thinking that this would be a wonderful thing to do during our 2026-2027 season (our last directory was done in 2020-2021). I presented this project to the SEPO board at the February 9th board meeting, and it was approved as a SEPO sponsored event. At the Women’s Club meeting on February 20th, I talked about this project hoping to get a committee started. A huge thank you to Judy Stone and Jill Ventrello for chairing this project. Here is a summary of the details we know now: Dates of photo sessions: several days in both December 2026 & January 2027 (exact dates TBD). Every household photographed by Universal will receive a FREE 8 X 10 portrait and directory booklet. Universal will provide a professional studio right here in our community. If you have pets, you are allowed to include them in your photo(s). Bring props that express you and your personality such as instruments, sports equipment and hobby items. The photo you pick for the directory booklet will also be posted on our community website under the secure resident section. This photo directory project is open to homeowners and renters – we hope all of you will participate in getting your photo taken. Stay tuned for more details to be announced in future newsletters, emails, and Facebook postings. - Tracy Wagner, SEPO Treasurer *************** PERIODIC Private Events Every Friday (Sep 4, 2026 thru Apr 30, 2027) the Card Room will be in use.

For those of you who aren't aware, I just saw this on Facebook. It was posted 20 hours ago by Pat Heinerikson. We will be closing the swimming pool tomorrow, Tuesday due to a chemical imbalance that would be cheaper in the long run to go ahead and change out the water and maintain it from there. So by doing this, we will go ahead and scrub and clean the pool and go back with new water before the season. That way we’ll have a nice clean chemically balanced pool going into the season. Sorry about the inconvenience, but this should be done tomorrow and Wednesday and hopefully open on Thursday thank you.

That original net has since been replaced by SEPO. A few of us went to the courts a couple of weeks ago and hoisted that screen up. This is not an easy job as you can see from the pictures on the Web site HERE . But then we had a picnic in the pavilion. So the day wasn't all work. And although those of you who used to watch us play from the outside of the fence can't do that anymore, we are able to actually play now on those windy days. If you are so inclined, come join us and play tennis and/or pickleball. Tennis starts at 8 am on Mon, Wed & Fri. Pickleball starts at 8:30 am on Tue & Thu. Just show up to play. We have a great time and get lots of 'fun' exercise. - Lisha & Steve Johnson Sent 2022-12-30: Better LATE than NEVER: WC Caroling Pics - I knew this was going to take some time - and it surely did this evening. It was still light out when I started this endeavor. But, I finally got pictures and videos that a lot of you sent me (and that I took myself) from that wonderful night of Caroling around the streets of Sunshine. I personally want to give a huge thanks to EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU who participated in this festive night of singing, dancing and smiling. It sure did look like great fun.

Good Neighbor Day Golf Tournament Committee Chairman - Tony Tramel Sent 2023-01-26: Good Neighbor Day Golf Tournament ( GNDGT) info - Hello Sunshine Friends and Neighbors, The 37th annual Good Neighbor Day G olf Tournament (GNDGT) on March 2-4th is fast approaching. This is a 27-hole, 3-day golf scramble, with an awards dinner on Saturday evening. We have had more than 180 people participate in this event in the past. It is a fun tournament for 55+ aged persons. Each year we encourage Sunshine Country Club residents to participate in any way they are most comfortable. We know that everyone is not a golfer, but this event is a perfect way to get involved in our community and “Let the Sunshine In!” Although the GNDGT Committee will purchase many gifts for the Award Dinner, in the past, we asked residents to consider preparing a gift basket and donating it for the drawing/awards dinner. Gift baskets have been a great success as a personal prize during the awards dinner. Many residents donated these baskets, which the recipients greatly appreciated during the drawing. This year we would also like to open the possibility of Donations. If you would like to participate with a donation, here are some ideas: Gift baskets valued at $25- $50, filled with “new items,” (In past years, many of the baskets were filled with items of their favorite sports team or “New” items purchased from any local retailer or even your hometown). You might consider donating a Gift Card. You can donate any amount from local retailers, including restaurants. Direct monetary donations are also welcome; don’t hesitate to contact the committee chair to make this happen. Gift baskets and other donations must be received before the March 2nd event date. Our goal is to have fun before and during this event! Don't hesitate to contact the GNDGT Chairperson, Tony Tramel, at 337-693-6344 or trtramel@gmail.com regarding donations and/or other questions.

After a week of pumping, the water dropped down in saltiness but leveled out still too high for our use. We have since found a company that uses a type of ground penetrating sonar to find water, and can differentiate between fresh and saline. It can also measure quantity. The plan is to have them start the soundings in the area around the current well, around the end of the September early October. This is relatively new technology for finding fresh water, that has been developed from older technology that locates oil reserves. The intent is to try and locate fresh/less salty water in the area of the current well, to utilize the infrastructure that is already in place.

Change the battery in your remote if its been awhile. - Tom Perrier SEPO Board (Area 2) Sent 2025-09-13: UPDATE: TX Ave Gate - Last Saturday the front gate area appears to have been struck by lightning. It damaged the board in the gate opener, which was covered under warranty (yeah) and replaced. But Hurricane Fence didn’t reprogram the keypad and I didn’t find out that it wasn’t working till late Friday, after they closed. After my email from earlier today I’ve become aware that some people don’t have remotes or their homelink system is not paired with the gate anymore. So I will be leaving the gate open till Monday when I hope to get Hurricane Fence back to fix that issue Also if you have a homelink in your car I can program it to the gate. Thank you - Tom Perrier SEPO Board Sent 2025-09-13: TX Gate Keypad Issue - Hey - The keypad for the gate on Texas Avenue is not working. So the gate will only be opening with your remote.

Media System Use Guidelines - Retzlaff Hall (Revised January 26, 2020) If you are going to use Retzlaff Hall for an event, it must be reserved ahead of time through the SEPO Office Manager so as to avoid event conflicts. Any event utilizing the Retzlaff Media System must be open to the community to attend. No personal or private party use allowed. Information about events must be: Sent to the community via SEPO E-News ( sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com ). Posted on the Web site HERE . If you wish to do so, posted in the Library/Lounge. The Media system consists of: 2 TVs A DVD player Surround Sound (a sound bar and a floor speaker) An antenna for local TV stations Remotes: The two TVs run off the same remote. Sound (via the sound bar) has its own remote. The DVD player has its own remote. You need to make sure you are close enough to the piece of equipment you are wanting to turn on or off. The remotes will be on the shelf along with the Sound Bar. They will be stored there, but if they are abused, we will look at a "sign-out system" for future users. To help you get acquainted with the system, a very simple guide has been created and is posted in Retzlaff Hall by the Media System and can be found on the Web site HERE . The Media committee members (Deb Robins, Roy Robins and Wade Prater) have also volunteered to go over it with any resident if needed. There should be no need for the equipment manuals. However, they will be stored in the office. If you would like to print a copy of these Use Guidelines, click on the icon below. Media System Guidelines (01-26-2020) Back to Top

Tennis / Pickleball / Table Tennis TENNIS Contact: Just Show Up Plays: Every Mon, Wed & Fri from 8 AM to 11 AM Location: Tennis Court Details: We plan to keep playing all summer and into next winter, as we have in the past. We need more tennis players during the summer. We would welcome any resident who is here to come and try it. We only play doubles and have limited skills. We don't care if your good or a new player. Our goal is to get some exercise and have fun. We do tease each other, so be warned. *************** Look at this great group of 'regulars' who play Tennis each week. Come join in on all the fun we have. Pic taken Feb 17, 2024. PICKLEBALL Contact: Just Show Up Plays: Every Tue & Thu from 8 AM to 11 AM Location: Tennis Court Details: Whoever arrives first usually starts the process of setting up the net. As more people arrive we assess the need for another net to go up. It appears there are lots of time slots open for play so if people want to gather up four (4) people to play and put the net up and take it down, we can do that. The court just needs to be reserved in the SEPO Office. Some of us like to play continuous and some like to take a rest between games. We have some windy days so, in the fall, we need volunteers to put up the “wind” screen that will help block a lot of that wind hazard. Many of us want to play more than twice a week, so are considering playing after the tennis group is done. It is a great time to have with fellow members and wonderful exercise. There are all levels of players (NO professionals allowed) HaHa! Come join us. *************** TABLE TENNIS Contact: Jan Kawecki, 719-334-6493 Plays: Every Sat during the Winter Seasons from 1 PM to 3 PM (unless there is another event schedule in the Hall) Location: Retzlaff Hall Details: We would like to announce the startup of table tennis in Retzlaff Hall on Saturday afternoons at 1 PM. We have reserved Saturdays from 1 PM to 3 PM, starting tomorrow, January 20, 2024 . We will not play when other events are scheduled in the hall. All level of players welcome.

Previously, the swamp covered most of the current grassy areas where the dogs now walk. The club removed trees and other types of vegetation, brought in fill and worked to level the ground. Periodically, new trees and shrubs were planted, and identification plaques were installed. The original butterfly garden and fountain were installed. Berms and plantings were made behind the gazebo. Bird feeders were added and maintained. Last summer the metal mesh fence was installed to support vines. The goal of that area is to have native plants that continue to attract birds and butterflies. The club has held beginning birding classes, led bird walks in the community and around the RV “lakeside”. Field trips have gone to local birding hotspots. Bird books were donated to the library, and a community bird sighting list is maintained there. The club continues to host outside speakers. Some members have even participated in the annual Audubon Bird Count. To help keep the Birding & Nature club relevant to current SEPO residents, we would greatly appreciate it if you would take a couple of minutes to at least review the survey.

Help support your Neighborhood Watch. - Mary Grandy (from Facebook on March 11) Newsletter 2025-10: Reminders - As you are packing to return South, please, remember to pack your old prescription eyeglasses. The Rotary Club recycles them and passes them along to those in need. They want the glasses, not the cases. You can place the eyeglasses in the Rotary box located in the library along the south wall. Since the flood last spring, many of you are driving different vehicles. Please, contact Valerie in the office or me, Jean Burgoine, if you need a Sunshine sticker for your rear windshield. This little sticker identifies your vehicle as belonging in the Sunshine community. This makes it easier for the people on Neighborhood Watch. Several years ago, my car broke down on the expressway. A passing driver from Sunshine noticed my sticker and came to help me. That little sticker does a lot of good. - Jean Burgoine, Neighborhood Watch Back to Top *************** Quilters (Killer Bees) (Meeting Info, Pictures and other items of interest can be found HERE .)
