Today the Corrected Newsletter is available. I'm glad to know folks are reading it, but in my haste to get it out this month and the fact that I used last year's Feb Newsletter as my starting point, I reported some event dates incorrectly. I have updated everything and highlighted the fixes in YELLOW . It can be found at the links below.

Good to go. Enjoy!!! - Jim Kennedy, SEPO Board Sent 202401-25: SUNSHINE NEWSLETTER: Feb 2024 - This Feb 2024 Sunshine Newsletter is hot off the press with the latest and greatest (LAG) Sunshine News & Notes. Be sure to read it as there is great info in it concerning your 2024 SEPO Election Ballots and the multitude of great activities coming up. Thanks to everyone who contributed. If you have questions about any of the information in this Newsletter, please contact the person who wrote the article. You can view/print a copy of it on the website HERE . I will be placing a Master Copy of this Newsletter in the library sometime today and Valerie will make copies for anyone who wishes to read it from paper. Thanks so much all for helping to 'get the word out'. - Beth Parrish, SEPO Newsletter Mgr Email: seponewsletter@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2024-01-25: 2024 SEPO Election: Depositing your Ballots into the Box - When you take your ballot envelope to the Office/Library building to vote, please ensure you place it in the slot on top of the 'locked' ballot box that is sitting in front of Valerie's office. Ballot envelopes have been found pushed under Valerie's office plexiglass window and even deposited in the slot located just above the 'suggestion box', which you can see in the picture below. A Board member even found one that had been shoved under the Office door and just lying on the floor. And yes, the Ballot Box was in it's current position when the envelopes mentioned above were found. Please respect the SEPO Election rules. Call me with questions at any time. - Beth Parrish, 2024 Board Election Committee Chairperson Email: 2024boardelectioncommittee@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2024-01-25: NW-CERT: Minutes, Jan 15, 2024 - Please take the time to read the minutes from our meeting on Jan 15, which can be found HERE . -- Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276, Coordinator Sunshine NW-CERT Team Sent 2024-01-25: Retiring sepoenews@gmail.com - Two things - in a Nutshell: SEPO emails will start coming to you from sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com instead of sepoenews@gmail.com . When sending information to this address for me to send to the community, please include your email address along with your name. If you want to know 'why', keep reading. FIRST: I have been informed by the SEPO email system we use (BREVO) that "gmail" and "google" are tightening up their restrictions on being able to send/receive bulk emails. They are doing this to prevent/cut down on the number of SPAM emails you receive. And that's a good thing. Since sepoenews@gmail.com is definitely a bulk sender and the majority of the Sunshine community uses gmail to received SEPO emails, I'm currently working on retiring sepoenews@gmail.com as the sending email address. I will keep this gmail account open for a while until I'm sure I have done everything I need to with the new one, which is sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com . The only thing you, as the receiver, need to do is ensure the new sending email address is not considered spam when you receive it. I did send the 'pool update' email last evening using the new email, so if you didn't get it check, your spam folder. SECOND: BREVO has implemented a new feature that allows me to enter in the 'reply to' slot the email address of the person who sent me the information. That way when anyone replies to a SEPO email it will go the composer of the email and not back to me. I will be updating the email guidelines to request you include your email address along with your name when you send me something to email to the community. Otherwise, I will have to go to the directory to look you up every time I send an email for you. Just think of it as if someone was replying directly to you when you post something on Facebook, instead of a middle-man. So onward & upward. Please call with any questions or if you have any issues with this ongoing. - Beth Parrish, SEPO Enews Email Manager Email: sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2024-01-24: Wednesday pool update - Pool update as of 4:45 Wednesday, January 24, 2024. - Heater is running, thanks again to Lalo, and water temps are on the way up. Right now water temp is 73 on the way up to 90. Hopefully, most of that will take place during the evening. Will check again in the morning, and let folks know. Thank most of you for your patience and enjoy the pool again. - Jim Kennedy, SEPO Board Sent 2024-01-24: 2024 SEPO Election: Audio Recording from "Meet & Greet" - Technology bit us in the 'you know what' yesterday. 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. You can access the audio recording here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t3rQyMAf8IGklH9HXktu_5ozL-LD0LRs/view?usp=sharing The file is very large, so please be patient when listening to it, as I had to store it in an area I don't normally use.

Our theme this year is How Sweet It Is! We will be having this event on Friday, January 13th, 2023. The doors of Retzlaff Hall will open at 4 PM.

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. And without further delay, I have posted everything on the Sunshine Web site under the Events Tab HERE . !!!!!

If the answer to a question is unknown at meeting time, the topic will be researched and the answer provided to the questioner. There will be no debate with any SEPO Board member. There will be no ‘shout outs’ from residents who haven’t requested to speak. Vulgarity will not be allowed. The speaker shall not make any derogatory comments about any person(s).

Any questions call John Chajec at 708-280-8940 Sent 01-21-19: PROPOSED COVENANT CHANGE CLARIFICATION - It was brought to my attention that the wording of the proposed assessment covenant change is confusing. This is the current covenant which I believe was created when the SEPO was established. The $300.00 payable $25.00 per month was the original maintenance fee when SEPO was established. Current covenant: SECTION 4.3 ANNUAL ASSESSMENT Annual assessment shall be $300.00 payable $25.00 per month . The annual assessment may be increased each year by not more than $45.00 per year. Any such possible increases in assessments shall be non-cumulative. In any year following a year when there has been no increase, the assessment may not be increased by more than $45.00. The proposed covenant which you have the opportunity to vote on: Annual Assessment and annual maintenance fee are the same thing in my mind. The word "assessment" should have been used were "maintenance fees" are inserted. Sorry.about the confusion. Proposed Covenant: Covenant SECTION 4.3 ANNUAL ASSESSMENT Annual assessment shall be no more than 5% of annual maintenance fees payable per month or yearly. The annual assessment may be increased each year by not more than 5% of annual maintenance fees per year.

It has come to my attention that at least one member of the Board is not in agreement that a more secure gate would be beneficial. That person asked me to send out this e-mail. Also, everyone should know that nothing has been agreed to by or with anyone at this point. Beth Parrish Sent 01-12-19: Various - After attending the information meeting on Tuesday, January 8/19, I was reminded why I have quit going over the last few years. But first, I want to thank the Board members for their time, effort and dedication that they freely give, to execute their positions for our community. As well as becoming more transparent with information to our residents, which I hope increases and continues. Being a Board member is a thankless job, that can cause animosity between fellow residents. But, it doesn't have to be that way if we remember that our Board members are elected by the residents that "choose" to vote. They may make decisions that we don't necessarily agree with, but they are doing so by following the rules and bylaws set before them. It may be beneficial for all residents to read and understand the bylaws that we have within our community. We all have our own ideas and opinions, which we are entitled to, but we still need to be respectful when treating and speaking to others. "Treat others as you would like to be treated"....hopefully that is with RESPECT!!

Thanks Dale Hopfner Sent 01-04-19: Casino Night - We are preparing for our 6th Annual Casino Night as well as "our" last. We have decided to step down as Casino night co-chairs. It has been an interesting and at times overwhelming experience. We feel we have it fine tuned now and it is a great fund raiser for the Women's Club. Therefore, it is our hope that someone else within our community would enjoy the challenge and continue this project and keep it going for the Women's Club! We feel that if it is dropped at this point, it would be difficult to reestablish, as well could end up with higher costs. So, we are hoping there are a few of you out there in our community, that would be willing to shadow us in our last year and see what it takes to operate. Now would be a great time to step up and learn the ropes! You are welcome to attend our next meeting on Tuesday and discuss any questions you may have or give either one of us a call if you are interested.

The pool is usable just not heated. We are aware that half the jets in the hot tub are not working. One of the Big Jets that controls half the little jets in the hot tub is broken. The Big Jet is old. Our repairman is searching for replacement parts. We hope he can locate them because buying a new Big Jet will be very expensive.

Valerie Basaldua Sent 2021-04-06: PLEASE READ: Hot Tub Facts - Did you know? Children under the age of 5 should not be allowed in any hot tub. It is just too dangerous for their little bodies. Children are susceptible to ear infections and damaging their eyes if they put their heads under water. (Adults too). There is a higher concentration of impurities (urine, dead body cells, etc.) in a hot tub than a pool. There is less water in a hot tub to dilute the impurities than in a swimming pool. KEEP YOUR HEAD ABOVE WATER while in a hot tub. A child’s body is not as efficient at regulating its body temperature as an adult's. Children can experience hyperthermia quickly. Hot tubs should not be considered play areas. If a youngster goes in the hot tub, he or she should SIT for a maximum of 5 to 10 minutes depending upon the size of the youngster. A responsible adult should be within an arm's length of the youngster at all times. The Red Cross recommends that hot tubs regularly used by children be under 100 degrees. The Sunshine hot tub is set at 102 degrees. After reading this, if you want your young ones to use the hot tub, please, monitor them very, very carefully.

Larry Keller SEPO Board Sent 2022-02-27: ACTION REQUIRED BY SOME RESIDENTS by End of Day Feb 28: Age Survey - If you have not yet provided the information requested on this form to the SEPO Office, please go to the Office on Monday, Feb 28, at the latest to fill out the form. Or if you can/prefer you can print the form and take it to the Office. As previously stated in one or more Board meetings last year, gathering this Age information is 'Required for HUD exemption of 55+ communities'. The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination of various things, including age. In 1995 there was an amendment to a section of this Act allowing exemptions for communities that are age 55+. However, we need documentation that shows the number and percentage of people living here who are 55+. We have started collecting age information during 'New Homeowners’ Orientation, but still lack this data from around 100 owners (at last count). By collecting this data from all Homeowners, if we are challenged by the Federal government, we have the information. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us gather this required information.

Is there anyone who would be willing to volunteer to help out? If you want to help out, you can reply to sepoenews@gmail.com and I will also be putting a signup sheet in the Library Thu morning. We could probably use 2-3 or more volunteers for assisting with apple versus android, computers, pads, phones and hardware versus software.
