We understand that some residents may wish to convert or modify their existing resaca water irrigation setup and connect irrigation to city water. However, this type of work must be handled properly because an improper connection can create a serious risk to the potable water system. When an irrigation system is connected to city water, there is a potential for backflow or cross-connection if the system is not designed, installed, and tested correctly. Backflow can allow non-potable water, fertilizers, pesticides, soil, bacteria, or other contaminants to flow backward into drinking water lines. This can create health risks, damage private and public water infrastructure, and potentially affect neighboring properties. For this reason, residents are being asked to refrain from using unqualified, uncertified, or unlicensed individuals to connect, modify, alter, repair, or relocate irrigation systems tied to city water. Any work involving a connection to city water should be performed by properly licensed or certified personnel in accordance with applicable Texas Commission on Environmental Quality rules, local water provider requirements, plumbing requirements, and any applicable city or district ordinances. At a minimum, residents should ensure that: Any irrigation contractor or technician is properly licensed or working under the supervision of a licensed irrigator, as required by Texas rules. Any connection to potable/city water includes the proper approved backflow prevention method. Any backflow prevention assembly is installed correctly and tested by a licensed backflow prevention assembly tester before the system is placed into service. Required test reports and documentation are submitted to the appropriate local water provider or authority. The resident obtains any required permits, approvals, or inspections before work begins. Please do not allow handymen, landscapers, maintenance workers, or other unqualified individuals to perform this type of work unless they can provide proof of the required license, certification, supervision, and compliance with all applicable requirements. Improper work may result in damage, required removal or correction of the installation, interruption of service, enforcement by the water provider or regulatory authority, and potential responsibility for repair or remediation costs. Before beginning any conversion from resaca water to city water irrigation, residents should contact the appropriate city water department, water district, or licensed irrigator to confirm the exact requirements for their property. Sunshine Country Club Estates may also request documentation showing that the work was performed by qualified personnel and that required backflow testing has been completed. Thank you for helping protect the health, safety, and water quality of Sunshine Country Club Estates and the surrounding community. Sincerely, - Lisa Seiser Board President Sunshine Country Club Estates (SEPO) Sent 2026-06-15: June 9, 2026 HOA Board Meeting — What residents need to know - June 9, 2026 HOA Board Meeting — What residents need to know The June 9, 2026 HOA Board meeting focused heavily on two major issues: approved road work and the Association’s financial position going into 2027 . Road Work Approved The Board approved moving forward with the Five-Year Planning Committee’s road recommendations. The approved road work is expected to cost approximately $145,000 . This work includes: Reclamite pavement preservation treatment. Asphalt patching in the most deteriorated areas. Work on the Grace Avenue access road/intersection. Reclamite was recommended because it helps preserve existing asphalt and may extend the useful life of the roads. The Board discussed that traditional road reconstruction is becoming extremely expensive. Initial estimates for some road work were much lower than the bids received. What was originally expected to cost approximately $42,000 came back closer to $100,000. Because of these rising costs, the Board chose a preservation-and-patching approach now rather than waiting until the roads require more extensive reconstruction. The Grace Avenue access road is included in the approved project, but the Board plans to contact Encore to discuss possible cost-sharing because that road may also benefit Encore residents. Why This Road Work Matters Roads are one of the Association’s largest long-term infrastructure expenses. The Board discussed that future road reconstruction could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. The current road project is intended to protect the roads now, extend their life, and delay more expensive reconstruction. The Board emphasized that delaying necessary maintenance can make future repairs much more costly. Current Financial Situation The Association is facing serious financial pressure. The Board stated clearly that the Association does not have the large reserve balance some residents may believe it has. After the road project, roof work, likely air conditioning replacement, and other capital needs, the reserve fund is expected to drop to approximately $75,000 . We should have a reserve fund of at least $500,000 . Current HOA fees do not fully cover the Association’s annual operating budget. The Association has been relying on other income sources, such as storage lot revenue and interest income, to help cover annual operating expenses. The Board also discussed that costs have increased significantly over the past several years, while the Association’s ability to raise revenue is limited. Budgeting Limitations Under current rules, the annual HOA fee increase is limited to $45 per home per year . That increase generates only about $14,000 in additional annual revenue. The Board explained that this amount is not enough to cover rising costs, rebuild reserves, or prepare for future major road expenses. In addition, Association policy requires a portion of HOA revenue to be placed into the reserve contingency fund. The reserve contingency fund is intended for major needs such as: Roads. Irrigation. Emergency building expenses. Because of this, the HOA fee increase cannot simply be used to cover regular operating expenses. How the Board Plans to Approach the 2027 Budget The Treasurer will work on the 2027 budget over the summer. The Board expects to review and discuss the proposed 2027 budget at the October Board meeting . One budgeting approach discussed was to use HOA fees only for regular operating expenses. We will have to cut our budget to $455,000 for the next year and likely future years. This will have to look at all expenses, including employees and seasonal adjustments. Under that approach, other revenue sources would be directed toward rebuilding reserves and funding future capital needs. Possible reserve-building revenue sources discussed included: Storage lot fee increases. Golf cart or golf course-related fees. Green fees or golf memberships. Other amenity or user fees. Sponsorships, such as benches or golf hole sponsorships. A possible buy-in fee for new home buyers. The Board also discussed the need to review expenses carefully and not rely only on asking residents to pay more. The goal for 2027 budgeting is to identify both: Reasonable cost-saving measures. Responsible ways to increase revenue and rebuild reserves. Special Assessment Discussion A special assessment was discussed as a last resort, not the first option. A special assessment would require approval from 51% of all homeowners . That means 157 yes votes would be needed. The Board recognized that this would be difficult and that residents do not want a special assessment unless absolutely necessary. Bottom Line The Board approved approximately $145,000 in road preservation and repair work because road conditions and future road costs are a major concern. The Association’s reserves are expected to drop to approximately $75,000 after major capital projects. Current HOA fees do not fully cover annual operating expenses, and the allowed annual increase of $45 per home generates only about $14,000 . The 2027 budget process will focus on controlling expenses, identifying new revenue sources, and rebuilding reserves for future road, irrigation, and emergency building needs. Residents should expect continued discussion this fall about the 2027 budget, reserve planning, and possible revenue or fee changes. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas they have observed work in other HOAs, please let us know. We are open to anything at this point. We just want to ensure this community is in a good financial position moving forward. Thank you for your attention. - Lisa Seiser Board President SEPO Sent 2026-06-13: MARKET: Homes For Sale or Rent (Weekly Update) - This past week the following updates were made to Homes for Sale on the Sunshine MARKET .

Beth Parrish SEPO Board Secretary sepoboardbeth@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2021-07-14: Removal of SEPO Property - It has come to the Board’s attention that a false rumor has been circulating in Sunshine concerning materials and properties located within the SEPO Storage Lot shed area, which is located north of W Iowa Ave. Some of the materials stored in this area are sand for our golf course bunkers, rocks, lumber used to create forms for our golf cart pathways and other stone and brick materials. These items are all SEPO property used by the Board Director in charge of the golf course to operate and maintain our Par 3 nine-hole golf course. Recently a resident donated several stone-like concrete blocks to SEPO for use on the golf course. These blocks were placed in this storage area for future use. We were informed someone removed these blocks from the storage area and placed them in their yard. When they were approached, the resident said it was ok to do so because they had been told by other resident(s) that anything in the Storage Lot shed area could be removed and used by any resident. The resident was informed this is not true and the blocks needed to be returned. In conclusion, this is a friendly reminder (or maybe you are hearing it for the first time) that the materials located in the Storage Lot shed area are not available for use by SEPO residents at their home. This material is owned by SEPO and should not be removed.

What I’m proposing ongoing is that the Primary Newsletter Editor: Prepare the SEPO E-News e-mails to send out for – the initial e--mail notice (sent on the 17th) that Newsletter articles are due by the 24th of the Month. the final e-mail notice (sent on the 23rd) that Newsletter articles are due by the 24th of the Month. These e-mails generally don’t change much, if any, from month to month. Once the editor receives an article ensure the sender is notified within 24 hrs that it was received. This is a canned reply to the sender's e-mail. Review the article for content and accuracy of data and work with the sender to get the article finalized. Combine all of the finalized articles and format/create the Newsletter. Send the ‘final’ newsletter document to the SEPO Communications Manager (Beth Parrish) for publication. The Primary Editor will also be responsible for maintaining the Newsletter Guidelines on the Web site. The next steps I’m proposing is that I, Beth Parrish, (as the Secondary Newsletter Editor & SEPO Communications Mgr): Review the final Newsletter sent to me by the Primary Editor. Add any applicable Web site links or anything else that may be applicable (i.e. attachments). Send out the Newsletter to the community via SEPO E-News e-mail prior to the first of the following month. Send the Newsletter to the SEPO Office to be printed and posted in the Library. Post it on the Sunshine Web site HERE . With all of that said, I will be willing to work with the new Primary Editor for as long as it takes for that person to feel comfortable doing her tasks on her own. The first e-mail that needs to be sent soliciting articles doesn’t need to go out until September 17. I would love to start working with a volunteer by September 1, 2021 at the latest .

It looked like everyone was having a good time - sure hope so. I know you were expecting a 3-man band and you ended up seeing me do my solo act. That was because the rest of the band isn't in the valley yet. However, my other two band members will be here by this Friday and will be playing with me next Sunday (1-17).

I am desperately looking for volunteers to help make this a wonderful holiday for all those who are staying in the Estates. With many helpers, it is an easy dinner to put on. There is a sign-up sheet in the library area where you can place your name and contact number if you choose to help out. I will be looking for turkey bakers, kitchen help preparing the dressing & gravy, turkey carvers, decorating help, and clean up. If I receive enough help with the preparations, I will post a sign up sheet in the library on November 14th. Cost will be $6 per person and a dish to pass. One person, a dish to feed 6; and couple, a dish for 12. Such items as mashed or sweet potatoes, green beans, corn carrots or other vegetables, cranberry relish, deviled eggs, or other relish tray, or pie/dessert. There will be a women's club box and envelopes to fill out and put your money in. These are considered virtual tickets and we will have a list made up so we know who and how many are coming. The menu will consist of Turkey, Ham, Dressing, and Gravy prepared by the committee. For any new residents, this is a good way to get your "feet wet" and see what it takes to be part of a crew to host a party. Everyone in the Estates is welcome, as well as those family and friends who might be visiting. It is a nice way to enjoy Thanksgiving as a community, without having to do all the cooking and cleaning involved in a home party. I hope you will consider helping in some way to make this event possible for all of our residents. Thank you for your consideration. Cathy Chajec, 708-280-8910 if you have any questions.

Jean and Denny Eich have agreed, at least for this Sunday, there will be Ice Cream for sale at 7 PM during the band's break. However, if noone steps up to assist the Eich's with this ongoing , this Sunday will be the ONLY Sunday Ice Cream will be served. If several residents volunteer, that means the duties of having the pleasure of meeting new folks and conversing with others you already know - all while serving them a delicious treat - won't be your responsibility every week. It will only be periodically, that is unless you want to do it every week. LOL It is my understanding the duties consist of: purchasing the ice cream making coffee serving the ice cream cleaning up the kitchen afterwards The Ice Cream is a Women's Club activity so please step up and contact the Women's Club president Eileen Anderson at 507-317-0296 if you would like to volunteer.

While we are now fortunate to have Lalo available to do the careful mowing / trimming, the bulk of the maintenance for that area has been the responsibility of the Birding and Nature club / enthusiasts (BNE). Part of that is the care of the flower beds around the Gazebo. The flower beds are planted with two varieties of material that are quite hardy here in south Texas and require relatively little attention. They do need a little hand weeding and perhaps other TLC from time to time. The beds are covered by dedicated sprinklers, on a timer, so watering is not a problem. So – If you have a semi-green thumb and a couple of hours a month you would be willing to donate, Please let me know. Many Thanks for thinking about it.

It has been determined that the paint is being splattered throughout the Estates by the garbage trucks. Unfortunately, the root cause is the way we and/or construction workers are disposing of paint cans. There will be construction throughout most of the season so please use proper ‘paint can disposal’ methods. Any paint in the can should be allowed to dry by removing the cover. Only when the paint is dry should the cover be put back on and the can thrown in the garbage.

We survived a once in 500 years rain event, but let’s get on with the real reason for this email. As you may recall, Larry Keller has headed up an effort in providing unique prizes for the Good Neighbor Golf Tournament and we want to continue this tradition Once again I am assuming the Chairman position for the Good Neighbor Golf Event for the dates noted above, with Jerry Wetherbee's continued guidance, so mark your calendars. Since many of you are now “back home in the northlands”, we are again soliciting your help in continuing the practice of preparing “Gift Baskets” of items that are found locally in your area during your summer stay. We suggest selecting items which set your home area apart from others. These gift baskets will be awarded as prizes at the end of the Tournament. Based on history, the recipients of these unique gift basket prizes welcome this approach and truly appreciate our generosity. I most recently lived in Lafayette, Louisiana. So, we hope to put together a basket of “Cajun items”; seasoning, rice, Tabasco /hot sauces, Beignet mix, cook books, and local brewed beer / wine for our gift basket. Just think of items your area is famous for and start accumulating them to bring back with you. We would like the baskets to be in the $50 value range. By preparing the baskets we are also providing a showcase for various products that are in North America where Sunshine Estate residents live during the summer time. Hope to see everyone in the Valley in a few weeks.

The Board has not been made aware of any problems without it. The administration of this process is not easy. The Vendor Program was a process for identifying unmarked vehicles which were legitimate contractors hired by a resident to do work. This program had been in effect several years when a previous Board voted to dissolve it. Lenore has a protocol for the program. There was discussion on the inability to guarantee a vendor was displaying the proper credentials every time he entered the premises and how it is difficult for residents to ‘police’ it. It was proposed that everyone keep an eye on suspicious activity at their neighbors’ house and inform/question their neighbors of such. MOTION: Lyn moved and Mark seconded to ‘not’ reinstate the Vendor Program. VOTE: Beth, Mark, Lyn and Jean voted YES. Lenore voted NO. The motion passed. The Board is considering this SEPO Suggestion COMPLETE and would like to thank the resident for their submission. The results of SEPO Suggestions / Complaints / Ideas are also posted on the Sunshine Web site.

The dirt is high around both sides of the trench and we don’t want anyone falling in or kicking dirt back in the trench till we have completed the electrical and plumbing installation. Thank you for your cooperation and patience! - Tom Perrier SEPO BOARD Sent 2025-05-28: RESUMED - MARKET: Homes For Sale or Rent - On or around April 4 I halted sending email updates concerning Homes For Sale and/or For Rent on the Sunshine website. Anything on these pages with a date between April 4 and May 26, has been add or updated. Several homes have also been sold during that timeframe and removed. As of today I plan to resume sending SEPO emails when I receive updates from residents (or their Realtors). NOTE - If the activity gets hectic again, I will go back to the WEEKLY emails. Here is yesterday's ADD. For Sale or For Rent May 27, 2025: The home at 1928 W Montana Ave had been sold to Adrian Duenez and is now For Sale or For Rent.

If you didn't receive this email, please contact me. **************** As promised on May 20 (see below) I have updated the password last hour to the Residents' website pages. As of now, it is . Please remember, the pages that require this password contain CONFIDENTIAL info that Residents have requested not be shared with anyone not residing in Sunshine Country Club Estates. Please respect residents' wishes. If you come across any pages where the new password isn't working, please let me know immediately so I can fix it. Questions? Please contact me. - Beth Parrish Sunshine Website Admin sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2025-05-20: UPDATED: Sunshine Website Directories - I updated the website directories on Monday: Owners by Name Owners by Address Email Address Renters By doing this there are some of you newer owners who are receiving a SEPO email for the first time. Welcome to the distribution list. As info (and a reminder to some) I always put these emails on the Sunshine website HERE . If you see anything pertaining to your information in Black & White , I have attempted to contact you previously about this. So please send corrections ASAP. Any other corrections are welcomed. In updating these files I noticed some homes that I know have sold and have new owners in them are still listed in these directories under the previous owners and need to be corrected in the Office. Also, please check the 'Renters' directory to ensure you don't have renters that the Office and/or myself aren't aware of. I need to get them on this distribution list if they wish. Thx for reviewing these docs so the SEPO files keep updated and accurate. One final item. I do plan to update the Sunshine website password being used in the 'Residents' section sometime in the next few days. I will send an email right before I do this. So if you attempt to use the current password and it doesn't work, look for that email. Please call / text / or email with questions.

Sincerely, Valerie Basaldua Office Manager Sent 2025-05-05: Personal Letter to the SEPO Community - Hi to everyone: This is a rather difficult message to write but I will give it my best shot. This is for all of you that have shown interest and care about my wife Waynette. I wanted you to hear this from me instead of relying on the gossip trail, which, at times, can be a little off. Waynette is now in Golden Palm rehab center. She is there for assisted living and this is a long term deal. She is doing well and realizes this is the best situation for her and myself. My respect and admiration for day-care providers has gone up considerably since all this started. Your thoughts and prayers are very much appreciated. As far as myself, your thoughts and prayers are also appreciated, but no food, PLEASE!!!!! Thanks to all of you in our wonderful Community!!!!! - Jim Kennedy Sent 2025-05-03: Items Found - Hey, Went up the drainage ditch aways with Director Kronshage and found a couple of treasures! If they look familiar you can get them in the maintenance shop.

A limited number of sandbags will be distributed today from 4 to 7 pm at the Combes Pavilion Parking Lot. Four sandbags for residential and six for commercial will be distributed.

Hope all is well with you wherever you are. JUST A REMINDER CONCERNING SEPO COMMUNICATIONS I know lots of you are members of the Facebook page, which is currently titled "Sunshine Country Club Estates Official Group." I also know lots of you don't even use Facebook and don't want to have anything to do with it. You prefer to rely on SEPO Communications to obtain your info. And it's my job (albeit volunteer work) to get that info to everyone. I do occasionally get out to the Facebook site mentioned above, but not every day. When I do, I sometimes see articles posted there that are perfectly suited to also be a SEPO Community Email. If I see something on Facebook, but it didn't also get sent to sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com I try to make sure I get it sent in a SEPO email as well, and put (From Facebook) in the signature line. Then I make sure the info is posted on the Sunshine Website. What I'm asking with this email is that, if you post a "Sunshine Activity / Event" on this Facebook page, that you be sure to also send it to me so I can send it to the SEPO community. FYI - I did get multiple comments this past winter season from non-Facebook users about not getting info. Thanks to everyone upfront for keeping folks informed about what is going on in the great community we all live in.

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

S EPO Community Emails: January 2025 (In Process of adding rest of emails for this month.) (Multiple emails from Jan 1 thru Jan 31 still need to be added to this page. If you have any questions about SEPO emails during this timeframe, please contact the Website Mgr @ sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com .) Sent 2025-01-01: STAINED GLASS CLASS STARTS THURSDAY JAN 9TH - Stained glass classes will start Thursday, Jan 9th, from 6:30 to about 8:30 p.m. These sessions are for all residents and renters who are interested in trying your hand at stained glass. 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 Sent 2025-01-01: WC: New Homeowners' Party - Sent 2025-01-01: Pool has been reopened - Our pool has been reopened. - Tony Adams, SEPO Board Sent 2025-01-01: Birding and Nature Club Notice - Hey, Birding and Nature enthusiasts!
