Activities: Special (Summer: 2026) Cinco de Mayo (2026-05-05) Jefferson Elementary Christmas (Thru 2026-12) Garage Sale (COMPLETE) ************************** Cinco de Mayo (Cinco De Mayo Fiesta. Tacos and Karaoke. Tuesday ) May 5, 2026 DATE EVENT Organizer 05-05-2026 Cinco de Mayo Randy Davis Sent 2026-04-29: Cinco De Mayo Fiesta. Tacos and Karaoke. Tuesday - (From Facebook 2026-04-29: Randy Davis) Doors open at 4pm. Karaoke starts at 4:30. Taco Truck will be outside the Hall. They accept cash and credit. They will have a great assortment of food. All orders come in to-go containers. The vendor will be at Jackson Street Market Days this weekend, as well. If you want to skip karaoke and just get food, that’s cool. Vice-versa is also cool. If you’ve never been to karaoke, remember that no one will force you to sing. You can just come and hang out, dance, and watch your neighbors belt out some tunes. Great for line dancers. Hope to see you there!

I received a $125 donation which will cover about half. These are priced at $2.95 ea plus tax which is a fabulous price. They are on closeout so I plan to order. If you were at the last WC meeting, you heard me say that Jefferson is combining with another school (likely around 100 2nd graders), so this year I will need more help. Every little bit helps. Thank you in advance. I will give regular updates on what is needed, but this was too good to pass up. (BTW, this is NOT a WC project.)

Note - If you simply reply to this email, that reply will go directly to your SEPO Board President, Lisa Seiser, and noone else. - Beth Parrish ************************************* Sunshine Residents It has come to my attention that, twice in the past several months, scammers have used the names and information of Sunshine residents to claim that money is needed to pay a bill. These scams involve using actual residents' email addresses and names. The scam reads that a named resident is having trouble paying a bill or invoice through Cash App or PayPal and asks if you can help pay it for them. Please make sure that if you receive one of these emails, let me know , and also reach out to the people named in the scam. This scam is convincing because it includes our neighbors' names, so be careful with any request for money. - Lisa Seiser, Board President SEPO 956-238-0082 ************************************* PLEASE NOTE: A scam is going around the community where you receive an email that appears to be from the president of one of our clubs (their name is listed as sender). The correct president appears to be the sender and the correct treasurer’s name is in the body of the email. The sender is asking you to send money to pay an invoice via electronic means. The email states the treasurer doesn’t have an app, or can’t do this themselves. Please call the supposed sender and confirm this is a scam. The monetary amount varies in each instance.

Don’t miss out on the 40th Annual Event of the GNDGT in 2026. -Tony Tramel, Chairperson for the Good Neighbor Day Golf Tournament Sent 2025-03-19 - 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.

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.

Yesterday we filled backpacks full of supplies for 2nd graders at Jefferson Elementary, 20 baskets for 23 teachers(still need to make 3 more), new pillows with cute pillowcases made by Jan and her quilters, as well as toys from Santa. We still have some purchases to make to complete everything, but we are well on our way! My heart felt thank you to all who donated in any way. We will be spreading Sunshine on that day!!

God bless you all for your donations already given. What wonderful hearts you have! - Mary Hull, Event Chairperson Newsletter 2025-10: DONATIONS NEEDED FOR SCHOOL CHRISTMAS PROGRAM! - This is a personal plea, not connected with Women's Club. I have been involved prior to coming here in doing a Christmas program for students at a school that has the neediest children in the area. Jefferson Elementary is that school in Harlingen. My goal is to have our Sunshine Resort bring "Sunshine" to 2nd graders (possibly 1st also depending on donations). My plan is to have a program with Santa and Mrs. Claus, music, treats. etc. I ordered backpacks, pillows (many don't have their own), and hope to give them a doll or car/truck and school supplies. Audra is making them caps with their school colors. I have already received several financial donations toward covering costs and some school supplies as well. Some of you prefer to remain anonymous, which I will do. But that does not prevent me from sending out a great big THANK YOU to those who have already donated. Also, if you'd like to be there that day, the more the merrier. You won't regret it. And I can't forget the teachers. If you'd like to provide a basket for teachers (or supplies to put in them), Kleenex, wipes, markers, scissors, etc., please contact me. God bless you all for considering being involved in whatever way you can! - Mary Hull 612-695-1600 Sent 2025-07-24: Jefferson Elementary Christmas program - I sent the below SEPO email (dated 07-21-2025) to the community on Monday for Mary Hull. And today I saw additional info concerning this personal endeavor on the "SCC Estates Group" Facebook page. Knowing some or you aren't on Facebook, I have set up a page on the Sunshine Website under the EVENTS Tab in this page (Special (Winter 2025-2026 )". If Mary sends me anything she wants to have an email sent about, I will do that. Otherwise, if you aren't on FB (or even if you are), you can check on the Sunshine website (this page) for updates. Hope this helps out you non-Facebookers. - Beth Parrish, SEPO Enews Email Manager Email: sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com 314-960-6710 - Mary Hull Facebook 2025-07-21: Backpack Donations - I found a place where I can order backpacks for $5.30 each for Jefferson Elementary but I'd need to order 48 (total $255). If anyone wants to donate toward this purchase, it would be much appreciated. Thank you. - Mary Hull Sent 2025-07-21: Jefferson Elementary Christmas program - Hi to all Sunshine residents! Hopefully most of you are back in your homes after repairs. You've all been in my prayers. This is a reminder that I'm asking for donations to provide a special Christmas for second graders at Jefferson Elementary, the poorest school in Harlingen. I'm asking for real barbie dolls and trucks/cars (nothing needing batteries), twin size pillows (our quilters are making pillowcases. Thank you ladies! ). Audra is making stocking caps in school colors..thank you so much! There are about 30 second graders. If we get more than enough, we will do first grade as well. But I wasn't sure how successful our venture would be so thought I'd start small. I'm trying to get a deal on backpacks so we can put crayons, pencils, rounded scissors, candy etc. We will gladly take financial donations to cover missing supplies. I will be back October 5. I have a special bank account specifically for donations. Pam Davis is my second in command so you can give her checks or cash prior to that. This is not a Women's Club activity, but a Sunshine "adoption" as I'd like to make this an annual thing. Anyone willing to come the day of the celebration is welcome to help. We will need a Santa and Mrs Claus and someone to lead singing Christmas songs. I've been involved at another park and you will not regret it. These kids are so happy. Most don't have their own pillows which is why we are doing that. So please open your hearts and participate however you can. You can always contact me for any information. Thank you in advance. God bless you! P.S. it was suggested to do teacher baskets with things like Kleenex, markers and maybe a little something special just for the teachers. - Mary Hull Sent 2025-03-21: DONATIONS REQUEST: Christmas for Jefferson Elementary 2nd graders - (From Facebook in March 2025) This is a request to all residents of Sunshine country Club Estates. I am planning a special Christmas for Jefferson Elementary 2nd graders(and possibly 1st). This school is 99%economically disadvantaged. My plan with your help will be to provide them each with a backpack filled with pencils, crayons erasers, coloring books, a toy from Santa and Mrs Claus...Barbies for the girls and a truck or car for the boys, a pillow and pillowcase(cases being made thanks to the quilting group), small stuffed animals, treats, and music. Many of you have already left for up north, if you find good deals on any of these items and would like to contribute, I can guarantee these children will be appreciative. I've experienced it in Brownsville. If you would prefer to contribute with a financial donation that will be used to purchase missing items or possibly cover another classroom, you can deposit a check earmarked for Jefferson but made out to me, Mary Hull or Pam Davis in the library. I have set up a checking account for this purpose only! I also have containers in the library for those of you that are full timers and want to drop them off. I almost forgot. It was suggested we put together a basket for the teachers as well . So tissue, hand sanitizer, kids scissors etc all are welcome. Thank you in advance for considering donating. And I will be in need of Santa's helpers that day. You'll never regret it. Let's bring Sunshine to some needy children. I will also post the above list of items requested in the library. I hope this can become an annual event. - Mary Hull, Event Chairperson Back to Top ************** Christmas Tree Decorating From Facebook 2025-12-02: by Mary Hull - What a fun afternoon decorating the hall.

Please contact me with any questions! - Cyndi Skidmore SEPO Newsletter Editor Email: seponewsletter@gmail.com Sent 2025-09-21: Well update - Update for well 9.18.25 Last update of 8.20 I said we were going to be working the well by running the pump continuously for several days to see if the water quality improved. 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.

I had him check the Yelper and that also was not functioning. It's working now! The flashing red light at the gate is not working but hope to get that replaced before the end of the week. The one by the frontage road is working. 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.

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.

RULES AND REGULATIONS PERTAINING TO NON-COMPLIANCE TO COVENANTS FEE SCHEDULE (Below is the Original document dated September 1, 2021 which was filed with Cameron County, State of Texas) (As updates occur to this document, all previous copies are replaced by the update.) WHEREAS, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Sunshine Country Club Estates, Inc., (SEPO/the "Association") finds that there is a need to establish orderly procedures and structure for the imposition of fees for non-compliance by a homeowner to the declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, and all amendments thereto for Sunshine Country Club Estates, Inc. (the "Declaration") and the Bylaws of Sunshine Country Club Estates, Inc., (the "Bylaws"); and WHEREAS, pursuant to Article II, Sections 2.1, of the COVENANTS, where the “DECLARANT or OWNERS ASSOCIATION shall be refer to SUNSHINE COUNTRY CLUB ESTATES PROPERTY OWNEERS, INC,” and Section 8.1, where the DECLARANT, (acting through its Board of Directors), shall have responsibility and authorization to prescribe Rules and Regulations covering the use of the Common Areas, streets, utilities and any other portions of the properties and to collect fees and fix assessments, and not specifically reserved to the membership by the Declarant, Articles of Incorporation, or by other provisions of the Declaration, Articles of Incorporation or by other provisions of the Declarations of these Bylaws; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Article IV Board of Directors, Section 4.01 of the Bylaws, “The affairs of the Sunshine Estates Property Owners, Inc. shall be managed by its Board of Directors.” WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Association for it to promulgate Rules and Regulations pertaining to fees and specifically establish a fee structure. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED that the following Rules and Regulations Pertaining to Non-compliance to Covenants Fee Schedule are established for the imposition of fees in Sunshine Country Club Estates, Inc., as follows: I. NOTICE OF VIOLATION For violations other than construction without Architectural Control Committee ("ACC") approval, the Board shall give an Owner written notice of the violation and opportunity to cure the violation before imposing a fee. The following notification procedure shall be followed: A. First Notice: The Association shall notify the Owner of the violation by written letter sent by first class mail. The notice shall contain the following information: 1. A description of the violation and reference to the provision of the Declaration being violated, and the action that must be taken to cure the violation. 2. A statement that the violation must be corrected within fifteen (15) days from the date of the "First Notice." B. Second Notice: After issuance of the "First Notice" and expiration of the fifteen (15) day compliance period, the Association shall notify the Owner, by first class mail and certified mail, return receipt requested, if the violation described in the "First Notice" has not been resolved. The "Second Notice" shall contain the following information: 1. A description of the violation and reference to the provision of the Declaration being violated, and the action that must be taken to cure the violation. 2. A statement that the violation must be corrected within fifteen (15) days from the date of the "Second Notice" or a fee will be applied to the Owner's account. 3. The amount of the fee that will be assessed if the violation is not cured within the time allowed. 4. A statement that the Owner will be charged attorney's fees and costs incurred by the Association in enforcing the Declaration and/or abating the violation if the violation is not cured within thirty (30) days from the date of the "Second Notice." 5. A statement that the Owner may request a hearing before the Board of Directors by submitting a written request for the same to the Board within thirty (30) days of the Owner's receipt of the "Second Notice." C. Third Notice: After the issuance of the "Second Notice" and expiration of the compliance period, the Association shall notify the Owner by first class mail and certified mail, return receipt requested, if the violation described in the "Second Notice" has not been resolved. The "Third Notice" shall contain the following information: 1. A description of the violation that is the basis for the fee and reference to the provision of the Declaration being violated, and the action that must be taken to cure the violation. 2. A statement that the fee for non-compliance is being added to the Owner's account for not curing the violation within the specified period of time contained in the "Second Notice." 3. A statement that there will be continuing fees in accordance with the "Fee Schedule" as each subsequent fifteen (15) day period elapses and the violation is not cured. 4. A statement that there is no aggregate amount of the fees which may accrue for the same violation. Additionally, that if the matter is referred to legal counsel for further enforcement measures, all attorney's fees and costs incurred by the Association will be charged to the Owner's account in accordance with Chapter 209 of the Texas Property Code. 5. A statement that the Owner may request a waiver of the fees by submitting a written request to the Board of Directors after the violation is cured. 6. The amount of fees being assessed against the Owner. II. HEARING The Board shall follow the procedures stated in Chapter 209 of the Texas Property Code in conducting a hearing. Within ten (10) days of the hearing before the Board of Directors, any documents relied upon by the Board as to the violation shall be provided to the homeowner, and failure to meet such deadline shall result in an automatic fifteen (15) day extension of the board hearing on the Homeowner’s appeal. III. FEE SCHEDULE The imposition of fees will be on the following basis: A. First Violation: $100.00 imposed for each fifteen (15) day period that the same violation continues to exist until cured. B. Addition but Separate Violations of the Same Restriction Within Six Months of Receipt of the “Second Notice": $200.00, which may be imposed every fifteen (15) days that the violation continues to exist until cured. C. Aggregate Limit: There is no limit to the aggregate limit amount of fees imposed for the same violation. IV. CONSTRUCTION WITHOUT ACC APPROVAL A. Pursuant the Declarations, Architectural Control Committee ("ACC") approval, in writing, is required prior to commencing construction or demolition, or making any changes to the exterior design or appearance of any improvement on a lot in the Association. B. Any construction of exterior home improvements, modification and/or additions including but not limited to fencing, sheds, barns or other outbuildings started prior to written approval by the The Association and/or ACC will incur an immediate $500.00 fee. Notice of the violation and fee will be sent as soon as the violation is discovered by the ACC or Board. C. If said construction does not halt immediately upon receipt of violation and fee notice, an additional fee of $100.00 will be imposed every day until construction ceases. V. INFORMATION REGARDING FEES A. 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. Fees are imposed against the Owner and are the obligation of the Owner of the property. C. An Owner should notify the Board when a violation is cured. Upon verification, the violation will be deemed to no longer exist. Unless fees are waived by the Board, the Owner will remain liable for all fees imposed under these Rules and Regulations. If the fees are not paid on demand, the account may be referred to legal counsel for collection. The Owner shall be responsible for all attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the enforcement of any provision of the Declaration and/or the Rules and Regulations in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 209 of the Texas Property Code. IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED that the purpose of these Rules and Regulations Pertaining to Fees and Fee Structure is to provide a standard for the Association. Notwithstanding these Rules and Regulations, the Board may set fee amounts on a case-by-case basis, provided the fee is reasonable considering the nature, frequency, and effects of the violation. The Board may also establish a schedule of fees for certain types of violations. If circumstances warrant a variance from the Association's published Rules and Regulations, the Board will document the reasons for the variance in the minutes of its meeting. The amount and cumulative total of a fee must be reasonable in comparison to the violation and should be uniform for similar violations of the same provision of the Association's documents.

Thank you, Bev McIntosh 2021-11-16: WC: Thanksgiving Dinner - Signup sheets for Thanksgiving Dinner are in the library. Bev McIntosh 2021-11-07: WC: Thanksgiving Dinner - REMINDER - Women's Club: Thanksgiving Dinner The Women's Club will be sponsoring a Thanksgiving Day Dinner again this year in Retzlaff Hall on Nov 25, 2021, but there will be changes from how we’ve done it in the past. Rather than the Women's Club providing the meat, stuffing, gravy etc. and residents bringing the sides, desserts etc., for everyone in the hall to share, here’s the plan for this year. Due to Covid-19, in order to social distance, we will be setting up ten (10) tables in the hall. Each table can seat 8 to 12 people. We are looking for a host to ‘sponsor’ one (1) of each of the ten (10) tables. The host signup sheet is currently on the Women's Club Committee Signup Bulletin Board in the Library. Responsibilities of the host are defined later in this e-mail. I would like to have a meeting in the library with the hosts prior to putting the residents/renters signup sheet on the WC easel in the library. Anyone not signed up as a host is also welcome to attend this meeting, ask questions and then maybe volunteer to be a host. This meeting is planned for Friday, Nov 12 at 1pm in the library. The resident/renter signup sheet will go up on Nov 15, ten (10) days prior to the Thanksgiving dinner. When this signup sheet goes up residents/renters can signup for the table they wish to sit at. The hall will open at 12:30 pm on Thanksgiving Day for pre-dinner socializing. Plan to eat at 1 pm. Host Responsibilities - Each host will be responsible for meeting with the residents/renters who signed up at their table to decide on the following: Decorations (if any wanted). The Women's Club can supply decorations if you wish to use them or you can use your own. The hall is reserved on Wed, Nov 24 @ 4 pm for those wanting to decorate their tables. Place Settings (Does the table want to be uniform, or everyone bring their own?) Food and Drink. (What will be prepared and served at each individual table and who will bring what?) Table cleanup. (Each table will need to be cleaned when you are finished, by those sitting at that table.) We encourage you to signup 'now' to be a host and invite your friends and neighbors to share this most wonderful holiday together with you at your table. We would like to see all the tables full. For any questions or anyone wishing to know more, please contact Bev McIntosh at 989-397-7482.

- O'Clockers Golf Rules | sunshine
Sunshine Country Club Estates O'Clockers Golf Group Rules (Updated & Approved by SEPO Board on 01-11-2024) O'Clockers Golf is a golf event approved by the SEPO Board. Therefore, it shall adhere to all the same rules as other SEPO approved golf events. Play shall commence at 4:00 pm each day. Golfers should arrive no later than 10 minutes prior. Teams will be assigned five (5) minutes prior to assure a 4:00 PM tee off. Play may be delayed, postponed or canceled when conflicting with special events (i.e., Good Neighbor Day Golf Tournament). (NOTE: During warmer months the start time often gets pushed back to avoid the worst heat of the day.) O'Clockers Golf is open to all Sunshine Country Club Estate residents and renters and their immediate family and guests. This is a shotgun start, best ball scramble. Teams and start hole will be determined by a random draw. The number of start holes and team size will be determined by the number of players present. At no time shall any team exceed five players and no more than three 3-person teams is allowed. No advance signup is necessary. Player's meet in the parking lot outside the SEPO office. Team ‘one’ will commence play on hole one and other teams will start on consecutive holes two, three, four etc. There is no cost to play and no prize monies are paid. In an effort to accommodate all golfers not participating in O’Clockers Golf, individual players may tee off following the scramble team on hole one. Participants shall adhere to normal golf etiquette by allowing players already on the course to complete their hole before proceeding. Example: The scramble consists of four teams starting on holes one through four. There is already a group on hole two preparing to tee off. O’Clockers Golf teams on hole one, three and four may proceed to tee off. But the scramble team on hole two must wait until the group already there completes that hole and moves on. The course is not closed for this scramble. Therefore, all players need to be courteous and respectful toward all golfers. Print Here Back To Top
