  • Golf Course

    Golf Course Golf Course The large beautiful common areas of Sunshine include a par 3, 9-hole golf course. (See Pictures at Bottom of Page) Sunshine is the Home of the Good Neighbor Day Golf Tournament. It is free to play to all Residents and their Immediate Families. Guests can play for a nominal fee. There are both Ladies' and Men's Golf Leagues. Men play on Tuesday mornings. Ladies play on Wednesday mornings. Several Golf Scrambles are played on multiple Days & Times. Various Golf Tournaments are played throughout the year. Information below contains excerpts from the SEPO Policies & Procedures COMMON AREA The term ‘Common Area’ refers to all real property contained in Sunshine C ountry Club Estates and includes the golf course. GOLF COURSE The golf course may NOT be reserved for private parties. It may only be reserved for SEPO events, with SEPO Board approval. Sunshine Country Club Estates’ guests (not qualifying as immediate family members of owners) as well as ENCORE residents are required to pay green fees before starting play. ENCORE residents must wear their RV name badges and display the green fee tag on their golf bag. All golfers are required to have their own clubs and bag or other appropriate carrier. Foursomes are suggested when the golf course is busy except during league play. More than five should never play at one time. Play is required to start at the number one tee at all times from October 1st through April 30th. However, persons may join players already in progress as long as it is agreeable to those players and does not make more than a foursome. Use of a tee is required at all times when teeing off. Practice is not allowed on any part of the golf course except on the putting green by number one tee box. Keep riding carts on cart paths when teeing off and 20 feet from greens when possible and practical. Replace divots on tee boxes and fairways. Repair ball marks on greens. Do not trespass upon owner’s property at any time except to retrieve straying golf balls. Never hit the ball out of an owner’s yard. Do not rake for balls during active play. Everyone is required to wear appropriate clothing including shirts at all times on the golf course. No bicycles or motor scooters are allowed on the golf course. Anyone wishing to use a riding golf cart to play golf may do so by paying an annual Golf Course Improvement fee. A sticker must be purchased each year and placed in plain view on the windshield of the cart. All Golf Course Improvement Fees collected shall be used for the construction/continued maintenance and repair of: future/existing concrete golf cart pathways/trails, water features on the golf course, including, but not limited to, masonry walls of the golf course ponds and aeration pumps/fountains, water irrigation and pond lighting improvements. All of these improvements shall be located within the limits of the golf course. When the golf course is closed because of excessive rain accumulation or for maintenance procedures, signs will be posted in front of the Office and at the number one tee box. At times when the course does remain open there may be posted restrictions on the use of riding golf carts even though walkers are permitted. If in question, you should check the office area before proceeding to the first hole to play, in the event you are not starting on the number one tee in league play. The golf green fee for a temporary guest as defined under GUESTS is $2.00 to play in scramble for nine holes, which includes tournaments and guest days. The green fee for a temporary guest to play nine holes is $5.00. These fees are paid at the office. The golf green fee for an incidental guest as defined under GUESTS is $10.00 for nine holes and $15.00 for eighteen holes. This same fee will apply to residents of ENCORE. You may only enter or exit the golf course by means of a cart path, never from your backyard or a neighbor’s back yard. There are cart paths leading from each street to enter and exit the course. The course is for playing golf. It is not a shortcut from one street to another. The SEPO golf course is restricted during Men’s and Women’s Golf League play as follows: During the months from April 1 thru September 30 the SEPO golf course is restricted for: Tuesday Men’s League play from 8:30 to 10 AM. Wednesday Women’s League play from 8:30 to 10 AM. During the months from October 1 through March 31 the SEPO golf course is restricted for: Tuesday Men’s League play from 8 AM to Noon. Wednesday Women’s League play from 9 AM to Noon. If you are not participating in the Men’s or Women’s scheduled Golf League play, you must wait until the entire League play is completed before gathering to play. Golfers who wish to play ‘after League play has completed’ are requested not to stage at Hole #1, as this has shown to prevent League players from using the cart paths to advance on the course. Non-League golfers should gather on Michigan Avenue, away from the cart path, in anticipation of League play completion, in order to reduce congestion on Hole #1 tee box “Feeding ducks on the golf course is prohibited.” Per the TX Parks & Wildlife, it is an offense to feed or offer any wildlife or exotic wildlife unsecured in a manner that makes food available to wildlife or exotic wildlife unless specifically authorized. The feeding of birds can be permitted using feeders that contain food in a specific area. USE OF COMMON AREA Guests other than immediate family shall pay green fees for golfing. ENCORE (Sunshine RV Park) residents wearing their badges may use the golf course during open hours by filling out a green fee tag, displaying it on their bag and depositing the correct green fees in the mailbox used for collection located at Number One tee. All outdated green fee tags must be removed from their golf bag. Use of the golf course by ENCORE residents will be reviewed at least annually by the Board of Directors and will be restricted or eliminated if the Board finds the course is overcrowded or such restriction is needed for any other reason. Organizers of approved golf tournaments shall be allowed to invite persons other than owners to enter and play golf in tournaments subject to paying the appropriate green fees. In the event an Owner is the single owner/occupant of a home, then he or she is allowed to invite one guest to accompany him or her in the use of the common facilities at any time. GUESTS An incidental guest is defined as not being a member of your immediate family and who resides within a 50 mile radius. Guests who wish to play golf must be accompanied by the host resident and no more than three (3) guests may play with the resident. Such incidental guest is limited to no more than two occasions per year of use of the common facilities. Private party guests in Retzlaff Hall or the Lounge, Sunburst and the Pavilion are excluded from this rule. Greens fees are set forth under GOLF. A temporary guest is defined as not being a member of your immediate family and who resides outside of a 50 mile radius. Such temporary guest includes those staying with the owner in his home or elsewhere while visiting. If the guest is staying outside the resident’s home, the resident must accompany the guest while playing. This temporary guest is limited to use of the common facilities for no more than thirty consecutive days per year. Greens fees are set forth under GOLF. A badge is no longer required for in-house overnight guests who are entitled to use all facilities in the common area. All children under age 16 years must be accompanied by an adult. If your in-house guest wishes to play golf you must obtain a yellow tag which must be displayed on the golf bag. The tag must be returned to the SEPO office. If an owner wishes to pay for their house golf guest they may do so by keeping track of the number of times their guest plays and pay the proper amount after the guest leaves. PETS Pets are never allowed on the golf course. PROPERTY AND YARD MAINTENANCE No placement of any type of enhancement on the golf course area (flagpole, bird house, tree, shrub, flower, etc.) is allowed without approval of the SEPO Board. In order to control water pressure for the golf course, owners are prohibited from watering their own yards using Resaca water between the hours of 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. Noncompliance may result in the capping off of the Resaca water to their property. SMOKING REGULATIONS Smoking will be allowed on the Golf Course but no cigarette butts may be discarded on the grounds. Consideration should be given to nonsmokers if riding in the same golf cart. Extinguished cigarette butts may be placed in the cup holders used for broken tees. Back to Top

All Candidates have been interviewed by one or more Nominating Committee members and were considered by the Committee for nomination based upon their responses to the questions asked of them. The BIOs we receive from each Candidate will be sent via separate email in the next day or two. During the January 2024 SEPO Residents & Directors meeting the Nominating Committee will move that the SEPO Board place the names of these nominees on the 2024 ballot.

Experience and willingness to learn and grow is a plus for homeowners wishing to volunteer. Three of the current Board Directors’ terms are ending in the forthcoming SEPO Board election in February 2024. There are a total of seven positions that make up the SEPO Board and they are: Officers: President, Secretary and Treasurer Director Golf Course Director Common Area 1 (SEPO Buildings) Director Common Area 2 (Streets, Drainage & Irrigation Ditches and Texas Ave) Director Common Area 3 (Storage & Shop Area, Tennis/Shuffleboard). These positions are elected and appointed at the Organizational Meeting held immediately following the Annual Meeting in February each year. This means a Board member may hold a position this past year but may not necessarily retain that position during their second year. It’s up to the Board members to make this determination amongst themselves. Share Nelson, Mark Owen and Randy Davis are not planning to run again but are willing to mentor anyone taking the positions currently held by them. Please contact any of the above Nominating Committee if you'd like to learn more, volunteer, have interest or know homeowners who may have talent in any and /or all positions.

Looks like it will be hot so games indoors will be popular. We will have corn hole, Jenga and ring toss. We could use another corn hole set if anyone would loan us one for the day.

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.

  • Birding & Nature Club | Sunshine Estates

    Birding & Nature Club Contact: Tom Stone Meets: 1st Monday each Month @ 7 PM (Nov - March) Location: Library Details: Do you have an interest in nature (expertise not required). The Sunshine Birding and Nature Club is open to all residents of our community. We typically host a community-wide potluck and bring in a featured speaker for a very enlightening program in January. Watch for notices to be in the Sunshine Newsletter and SEPO Emails for more information closer to that time. Later in the spring we try to have a field trip related to the program, which is also open to the community to participate. Some past trips have included; Port Aransas to see the whooping cranes, South Padre Island Birding boat tours, Laguna Atascosa tour, the Turtle center and the National Birding center. Occasionally a birding walk through our community is hosted by someone with experience in identifying birds. Watch the Sunshine Newsletter and SEPO Emails for announcements. Mission Statement: Mission Statement: Our mission is to increase the awareness of the variety of birds in our Wetland and to learn about the native plants and animals of the Rio Grande Valley. Planning and care of the Wetlands is our primary focus. Background on the Club: The Birding and Nature Club is an offshoot from the volunteers who cleared the area along Texas avenue after hurricane Dolly (July 2008). Prior to hurricane Dolly the brush and trees grew up all the way to the chain link fence in the area past the front gate. Further the swamp and bushes grew up along much of Texas avenue to your left as you drive into our neighborhood. After hurricane Dolly the residents / volunteers decided to clean up the area significantly. Besides clearing the area of brush and broken trees they also raised the money to plant 56 new trees. Those same volunteers built and funded the pergola, the gazebo and the park benches that you now see and enjoy. As you look at the gazebo you will notice that there are a group of panels below the railing. All of the birds shown in those panels have been seen in our Sunshine swamp.

Parents back in attendance after blocking so no interruptions. Donn Perkins Newsletter 2022-02: The Sunshine Birding and Nature Club will meet in the library at 7:00pm on Monday, February 7, 2022. All are invited. We will be discussing the rescheduled field trip and planting trees. Questions? Text Debi Warner at 956-357-8999. Sent via SEPO E-News E-Mail 2021-08-29: Blackie has come back - We are in luck. An old friend has decided to come back and visit our neighborhood. Blackie has been seen a few times around the neighborhood recently and we haven't seen blackie for some time. That's really unfortunate because blackie is perhaps one of the best friends in nature that we can have. Blackie is officially known as a Texas indigo snake. Now you are probably repulsed by the idea of a snake being our best friend. But do not fear but rarher respect blackie because blackie eats other snakes, poisonous ones as well as a wide variety of other small creatures. Blackie is neither poisonous nor aggressive but really a very placid creature. Blackie is the subject of a Texas Parks and Wildlife brochure from which I will share some excerpts with you. _____ https://tpwmagazine.com/archive/2015/mar/scout5_wildthing_indigo/ "Indigo snakes are big snakes. Most adult indigo snakes grow to between 5½ and 6½ feet in length. The longest recorded indigo snake was nearly 8½ feet long. Texas indigo snakes are diurnal predators, meaning they are active during the day. They will eat almost any vertebrate animal they can subdue with their strong jaws, including toads, frogs, salamanders, lizards, turtles, birds, small mammals and other snakes. One specimen was found with three mice, two Mexican burrowing toads and two juvenile snapping turtles in its stomach. They are also known to eat rattlesnakes and copperheads , which can be three to four times heavier than an indigo snake. “It’s a gorgeous snake, and it’s not aggressive,” says Andy Gluesenkamp, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department herpetologist. “If you’re nice to the snake, it’ll give you a chance to look at it.” Texas indigo snakes are listed by the state as a threatened species, and because of its protected status, it is illegal to harm, kill, collect or sell Texas indigo snakes. The Texas indigo snake is revered in South Texas, where many ranchers are aware of its propensity for eating predatory rattlesnakes. Ranchers have a fondness for the Texas indigo snake,” Gluesenkamp says. “It’s a true South Texan snake: charismatic, big and tough.” ____ So - since we have seen Blackie around the Estates lately, I would ask you to "just let it be" if you see it. It is your friend, even if it is a snake. Take Care Pat Harvey Birding and Nature Club ****************************** From: SEPO Community Sent: Monday, October 19, 2020 6:40 PM To: sepoenews@gmail.com Subject: Birding and Nature Birding and Nature Club will be meeting on Monday, Nov. 2nd at 5:00 p.m. in the gazebo on Texas Avenue.

The journey started with Jennifer and her family transporting a trailer packed with hundreds of blooms to various markets throughout the Valley. Jennifer remarked that managing three kids, along with a trailer full of flowers, was quite a challenge. So, they transformed their backyard into a farmer’s market, allowing locals to buy flowers straight from the farm. Jennifer Wilson encourages the community to take up gardening. “It will not only change your life but also your living room decor.” Gather: 10:30 am our library parking lot. We will try to car pool.

One time I don't send myself a 'test' email to verify all links work - and I goof up on the link. This one is correct. Thx to those who brought this to my attention. Thanks so much to all who replied with updates to the SEPO Directory. Those updates are now available on the Website at the 'fixed' LINK . Concerning this file, I need one more question answered by everyone by end of day this Friday, Dec 27, 2024 , to let me know if you need your Ballot Packets mailed SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN YOUR SUNSHINE ADDRESS . The office is currently preparing the envelopes for the packets so the sooner you reply would be appreciated. The ballots will be distributed/mailed sometime between Jan 9 & 16, 2025. (I have already received this info from a couple of you. Thx so much.) Per the Election Committee Guidebook, by providing this information to the Election Committee, it should resolve issues of a homeowner who is not physically in Sunshine at the time of the election and who may not receive the ballot(s) in time to return it/them by the due date, which for this year's election is Feb 1, 2025 @ 1 PM. If a resident doesn’t reply to the address question above, they will have their election materials mailed to their “Sunshine” address on file as recorded by the SEPO Office. One more thing about the directory currently on the Website, if you see any of your info in 'black & white' I need you to contact me please. If anyone has any questions at all, please contact me at the info below.

However, this year, personal circumstances / other commitments are prohibiting a lot of them from participating in this process again. Therefore, I am looking for some of the rest of you to step up and assist me in the process this year. Last year I learned a lot and we also had some 'lessons learned', which should make things go a little smoother this time around. And I for one, had a fun time heading this committee, working with my friends/neighbors, knowing I was serving this great community. FYI - The bulk of the work for the Election Committee won’t be starting until after the Jan 7, 2025 “Residents & Directors” meeting. At that meeting the Election Committee receives the nominees’ names and we hit the ground running. I'm already working with Valerie to prep as much of the packets as we can now. Mailings need to be done by Jan 18, 2025 this time. Please consider helping me out. If you have any questions about any of this, please contact me.

Experience and willingness to learn and grow is a plus for homeowners (or their spouses) wishing to volunteer. We need to fill four of the current Board members' positions whose terms are ending in February 2025. There are a total of seven positions that make up the SEPO Board and they are: Officers: President, Secretary and Treasurer Director Golf Course Director Common Area 1 (SEPO Buildings) Director Common Area 2 (Streets, Drainage & Irrigation Ditches and Texas Ave) Director Common Area 3 (Storage & Shop Area, Tennis/Shuffleboard). Who ends up holding each of these positions is determined at the required Organizational Meeting held immediately following the Annual Meeting in February each year. This means a Board member may hold a position this year but may not necessarily retain that position during their second year. It’s up to the Board members to make this determination amongst themselves. If you are undetermined as to whether you would like to serve on the SEPO Board, please ask yourself the following: Do you have ideas about how your community can be managed more efficiently? Would you like to become more involved in your HOA's daily operation? Do you have the time, dedication, and enthusiasm to regularly volunteer your skills for the benefit of your community? If you would like to be considered as a SEPO Board Candidate, please contact any Nominating Committee member to set up an interview. If you know a homeowner (or their spouse) who you think would make a valuable Board member, please contact the Nominating Committee. Thank you all in advance.

  • Golf Course PREV

    Golf Course Previous Info Golf Course The large beautiful common areas of Sunshine include a par 3, 9-hole golf course. (See Pictures at Bottom of Page) Sunshine is the Home of the Good Neighbor Day Golf Tournament. It is free to play to all Residents and their Immediate Families. Guests can play for a nominal fee. There are both Ladies' and Men's Golf Leagues. Men play on Tuesday mornings. Ladies play on Wednesday mornings. Several Golf Scrambles are played on multiple Days & Times. Various Golf Tournaments are played throughout the year. Information below contains excerpts from the SEPO Policies & Procedures COMMON AREA The term ‘Common Area’ refers to all real property contained in Sunshine C ountry Club Estates and includes the golf course. GOLF COURSE The golf course may NOT be reserved for private parties. It may only be reserved for SEPO events, with SEPO Board approval. Sunshine Country Club Estates’ guests (not qualifying as immediate family members of owners) as well as ENCORE residents are required to pay green fees before starting play. ENCORE residents must wear their RV name badges and display the green fee tag on their golf bag. All golfers are required to have their own clubs and bag or other appropriate carrier. Foursomes are suggested when the golf course is busy except during league play. More than five should never play at one time. Play is required to start at the number one tee at all times from October 1st through April 30th. However, persons may join players already in progress as long as it is agreeable to those players and does not make more than a foursome. Use of a tee is required at all times when teeing off. Practice is not allowed on any part of the golf course except on the putting green by number one tee box. Keep riding carts on cart paths when teeing off and 20 feet from greens when possible and practical. Replace divots on tee boxes and fairways. Repair ball marks on greens. Do not trespass upon owner’s property at any time except to retrieve straying golf balls. Never hit the ball out of an owner’s yard. Do not rake for balls during active play. Everyone is required to wear appropriate clothing including shirts at all times on the golf course. No bicycles or motor scooters are allowed on the golf course. Anyone wishing to use a riding golf cart to play golf may do so by paying an annual Golf Course Improvement fee. A sticker must be purchased each year and placed in plain view on the windshield of the cart. All Golf Course Improvement Fees collected shall be used for the construction/continued maintenance and repair of: future/existing concrete golf cart pathways/trails, water features on the golf course, including, but not limited to, masonry walls of the golf course ponds and aeration pumps/fountains, water irrigation and pond lighting improvements. All of these improvements shall be located within the limits of the golf course. When the golf course is closed because of excessive rain accumulation or for maintenance procedures, signs will be posted in front of the Office and at the number one tee box. At times when the course does remain open there may be posted restrictions on the use of riding golf carts even though walkers are permitted. If in question, you should check the office area before proceeding to the first hole to play, in the event you are not starting on the number one tee in league play. The golf green fee for a temporary guest as defined under GUESTS is $2.00 to play in scramble for nine holes, which includes tournaments and guest days. The green fee for a temporary guest to play nine holes is $5.00. These fees are paid at the office. The golf green fee for an incidental guest as defined under GUESTS is $10.00 for nine holes and $15.00 for eighteen holes. This same fee will apply to residents of ENCORE. You may only enter or exit the golf course by means of a cart path, never from your backyard or a neighbor’s back yard. There are cart paths leading from each street to enter and exit the course. The course is for playing golf. It is not a shortcut from one street to another. The SEPO golf course is restricted during Men’s and Women’s Golf League play as follows: During the months from April 1 thru September 30 the SEPO golf course is restricted for: Tuesday Men’s League play from 8:30 to 10 AM. Wednesday Women’s League play from 8:30 to 10 AM. During the months from October 1 through March 31 the SEPO golf course is restricted for: Tuesday Men’s League play from 8 AM to Noon. Wednesday Women’s League play from 9 AM to Noon. If you are not participating in the Men’s or Women’s scheduled Golf League play, you must wait until the entire League play is completed before gathering to play. Golfers who wish to play ‘after League play has completed’ are requested not to stage at Hole #1, as this has shown to prevent League players from using the cart paths to advance on the course. Non-League golfers should gather on Michigan Avenue, away from the cart path, in anticipation of League play completion, in order to reduce congestion on Hole #1 tee box “Feeding ducks on the golf course is prohibited.” Per the TX Parks & Wildlife, it is an offense to feed or offer any wildlife or exotic wildlife unsecured in a manner that makes food available to wildlife or exotic wildlife unless specifically authorized. The feeding of birds can be permitted using feeders that contain food in a specific area. USE OF COMMON AREA Guests other than immediate family shall pay green fees for golfing. ENCORE (Sunshine RV Park) residents wearing their badges may use the golf course during open hours by filling out a green fee tag, displaying it on their bag and depositing the correct green fees in the mailbox used for collection located at Number One tee. All outdated green fee tags must be removed from their golf bag. Use of the golf course by ENCORE residents will be reviewed at least annually by the Board of Directors and will be restricted or eliminated if the Board finds the course is overcrowded or such restriction is needed for any other reason. Organizers of approved golf tournaments shall be allowed to invite persons other than owners to enter and play golf in tournaments subject to paying the appropriate green fees. In the event an Owner is the single owner/occupant of a home, then he or she is allowed to invite one guest to accompany him or her in the use of the common facilities at any time. GUESTS An incidental guest is defined as not being a member of your immediate family and who resides within a 50 mile radius. Guests who wish to play golf must be accompanied by the host resident and no more than three (3) guests may play with the resident. Such incidental guest is limited to no more than two occasions per year of use of the common facilities. Private party guests in Retzlaff Hall or the Lounge, Sunburst and the Pavilion are excluded from this rule. Greens fees are set forth under GOLF. A temporary guest is defined as not being a member of your immediate family and who resides outside of a 50 mile radius. Such temporary guest includes those staying with the owner in his home or elsewhere while visiting. If the guest is staying outside the resident’s home, the resident must accompany the guest while playing. This temporary guest is limited to use of the common facilities for no more than thirty consecutive days per year. Greens fees are set forth under GOLF. A badge is no longer required for in-house overnight guests who are entitled to use all facilities in the common area. All children under age 16 years must be accompanied by an adult. If your in-house guest wishes to play golf you must obtain a yellow tag which must be displayed on the golf bag. The tag must be returned to the SEPO office. If an owner wishes to pay for their house golf guest they may do so by keeping track of the number of times their guest plays and pay the proper amount after the guest leaves. PETS Pets are never allowed on the golf course. PROPERTY AND YARD MAINTENANCE No placement of any type of enhancement on the golf course area (flagpole, bird house, tree, shrub, flower, etc.) is allowed without approval of the SEPO Board. In order to control water pressure for the golf course, owners are prohibited from watering their own yards using Resaca water between the hours of 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. Noncompliance may result in the capping off of the Resaca water to their property. SMOKING REGULATIONS Smoking will be allowed on the Golf Course but no cigarette butts may be discarded on the grounds. Consideration should be given to nonsmokers if riding in the same golf cart. Extinguished cigarette butts may be placed in the cup holders used for broken tees. GOLF COURSE IMPROVEMENTS and OTHER INFO OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS 2024-02-03: Golf Course Cart Path - If you see this on the golf course cart path, it’s an indication that you’re 50 yards from the center of the green. The one pictured is on # 4, but we’ll be adding more holes later this week. - Randy Davis: SEPO Board (from Facebook) 2024-02-03: Golf Course Cart Path - If you see this on the golf course cart path, it’s an indication that you’re 50 yards from the center of the green. The one pictured is on # 4, but we’ll be adding more holes later this week. - Randy Davis: SEPO Board (from Facebook) 2023-08-12: Golf Cart Street Crossings - We have added golf cart street crossings on Indiana Circle (from hole 4 to 5) and Michigan (from hole 5 to 6). Street signs have been ordered. - Randy Davis, SEPO Board Golf Course Director 2023-07-19: Sunshine Golf Course Improvement: New Fountain - New water fountain on the number seven pond. Hopefully, this will help with the algae situation. - Randy Davis 2023-05-23: Golf: Aerating the Greens - It appears the weather will cooperate this week to allow us to begin aerating the greens. We will start around Wednesday noon and should be completed by Friday afternoon. The course will be open, but please play around the workers. - Randy Davis, Golf Course Director 2023-04-20: Golf Course Maintenance - All of the following information is contingent on the weather (rain, wind conditions, etc.): At noon Wednesday, April 26, we will begin aerating the greens. We will be completed Friday afternoon. The course will be playable, but the greens will be rough and you will need to skip holes that are being actively worked. Throughout the next few months, on Thursday mornings (while it’s still dark), we will be spraying turf management solution. This is purchased at Home Depot over the counter. It helps with our grass and as a side by-product helps kill mosquitos where they breed. It does not affect ornamentals, roses, flowers, shrubs, trees, fruits, citrus, and vegetables. If you don’t drink it, it’s safe for humans and pets. It has a smell to remind you to be extra aware for you and your critters. Also as needed, there will be periodic spraying to kill clover and encroaching carpet grass in small sections of the course. Thank you for your patience. - Randy Davis Golf Course Director 2023-01-16: Golf course bridge closure - This is to advise that Wednesday (1/18/23) at noon, the bridge from the # 1 green to the # 2 tee box will be closed. You will be directed to go in front of the # 3 green and up # 2. The bridge will be reopened Thursday morning. - Randy Davis, Golf Course Director 2022-11-17: 2023 HOA Assessments - The Golf Course Improvement Fee of $25.00 for Golf Cart Permit will remain the same for 2023. - SEPO Board 2022-10: SEPO Newsletter - The course is shaping up nicely. Manny and Joe have done an excellent job of maintaining the area, especially during long drought times and lack of irrigation water. Each time you play, think about leaving the course nicer than you found it. All of us, golfers and non-golfers, should want a nice course to see and play. Any help you bring will be appreciated. Any questions or concerns, please let me know. - Remember, a good golf partner is one who's always a little bit worse than you are. - Randy Davis, SEPO Golf Course Director 2022-08-15: Golf Course: Looks Great - Manny and Joe have done a great job at keeping our golf course green. It’s a beautiful thing and great to play on! - Randy Davis SEPO Board - Golf Course Director Back to Top

In reviewing, I did find that I inadvertently forgot to do that for the Executive meetings on Mar 8, 2021 - Aug 26, 2021 - Nov 4, 2021 and Dec 14, 2021. I had published them for the Feb 25, 2021 meeting. To correct this, I have spent some hours today and yesterday creating those documents, sending them for Board approval and ultimately posting them to the Sunshine Web site HERE . Both the 'notices' and the 'notes' from all Executive meetings can be found at the appropriate links on this page. You can also view the 'notes only' from these links: Feb 25, 2021 - Mar 8, 2021 - Aug 26, 2021 - Nov 4, 2021 - Dec 14, 2021 Beth Parrish SEPO Board Secretary & Governing Documents E-Mail: sepoboardbeth@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2022-01-25: OPEN FORUM: Concerning Proposed Amendments to the SEPO Governing Rules - On Thursday, Jan 27, at 1 pm, in Retzlaff Hall only, there will be an Open Forum in order to answer questions the community may have concerning the proposed amendments to the Bylaws & Covenants, that are included in this year's voting ballot.

Dick & Joyce Smith Sent 2022-01-22: MARKET: For Sale Household+ (new Name & Guidelines) - I have come to a pretty obvious conclusion that it is taking me longer to post FREE items on the Web site in the MARKET and then send out the e-mail about those items, than it does for your neighbor to come to your house/lawn and get them. And then, after residents notify me their items(s) have been given away, I go the Web site and remove them from the MARKET. Therefore, as of today (Jan 22, 2022) I will only be posting 'For Sale' Household+ items HERE . Anything currently listed on this page ‘other than For Sale’ items will be removed on January 31, 2022. The link above has changed, and I believe I have updated everything on the Web site correctly. If you find something that doesn't direct you to the right place anymore, please let me know ASAP. I have also updated the Guidelines for selling Household+ Items. So now you might be asking yourself - how do I let the community know if I have ‘For Free’, ‘For Loan’ etc Household+ items. Prior to the Sunshine Web site being available, the bulletin board across from the restrooms in the Office/Library building is where those items were posted. Posting here is your responsibility and you are requested to date your items and remove them after 90 days (see picture below). Or just set your items in your yard with a 'FREE' sign on them. That normally works very quickly too. Thank you for your understanding with this matter.

Beth Parrish SEPO Web site Admin Sent 2022-01-16: INFO/WHERE TO FIND Proposed Amendments to SEPO Bylaws & Covenants for 2022 Vote - The Governing Rules documents you are being asked to vote on in the 2022 election, which contain proposed amendments to the Bylaws and Covenants, have been posted on the Sunshine Web site HERE . The ballots for voting on these amendments, along with voting instructions, were mailed to the entire community via US Postal Service on Friday, January 14, 2022. Between the asterisks below is one of the pages you will be receiving in your ballot envelope. Here is a bit more comprehensive explanation of how the voting percentages works: Amendments to our existing Bylaws can only be made if 51% of the "total" votes cast are yes. Amendments to our existing Covenants can only be made with at least 66% yes votes from the owners (202 yes of the 306 owners). ******************************** CONCERNING PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO SEPO Bylaws and Covenants The SEPO Board appointed a Review Committee of knowledgeable Owners in March 2021 to review our SEPO Bylaws, Covenants and Policies & Procedures. This Committee consisted of Share Nelson, Pat Harvey, Jerry Wetherbee, Earl Weir and Steve Fransene. After intense review, the committee provided a report to the Board. The Board accepted this report and proceeded to undertake significant effort to review their recommendations, ultimately forwarding them to our Attorney. The Attorney provided input to the Review Committee recommendations and also provided updates to our Bylaws and Covenants pertaining to current Texas Property Code. After another intense Board review and consideration of Owners’ comments, the Board approved to ‘move forward for a vote’ documents containing proposed amendments to our Bylaws and Covenants. The proposed amendments in both documents are classified as: Necessary to follow the current Texas Property Code, or Corrective, editorial, and / or changed for clarity (without changing the intent). Amendments to our existing Bylaws can be made with at least 51% positive votes from our Owners. Amendments to our existing Covenants can be made with at least 66% positive votes from our Owners. PLEASE NOTE: Although the Owners had previously been provided access to documents containing all amendments being considered by the Board, not all of those amendments ended up being included in what you are being asked to vote on. The final proposed Bylaws and Covenants amendments, although not included in this ballot envelope mailed to you, are available for viewing by three different methods, the Sunshine Web site (link provided via SEPO Enews Email) posted outside the SEPO Office available to each SEPO street address if you wish to request the SEPO office (956-425-1420) to print a copy for you. The Board also plans to hold a series of Open Forums to enable Owners to inquire / become knowledgeable about the final proposed amendments to the SEPO Bylaws and Covenants 'prior to’ you voting. Watch for details to be communicated concerning these forums. ******************************** Please note: The Board has been working over the weekend concerning the printing option listed above. We have been advised the "printed packets of the proposed amendments" should be available to each SEPO street address, starting on Tuesday, January 18, 2022, if you wish to request a printed copy from the SEPO office (956-425-1420). Please call with question / issues / concerns. SEPO BOARD Sent 2022-01-15: CORRECTION: Guys and Dolls - CORRECTION!!!

Cathy Richmond Sent 2022-01-05: How to turn a dog into the Humane Society Harlingen, HSH - The stray pup that Lynne Reed found has been safely turned over to Humane Society Harlingen. We hope a Rescue group that works with them will take her out of state and find her a deserving home. The process to get a dog into the shelter is very different than in the past. HSH is now a no kill shelter but they will no longer accept turn-ins at their building. They want you to foster for them and they will provide the medical care food etc. Sometimes that is not possible, so this is what needs to happen. Harlingen Animal Control needs to pick up the animal and bring them to the shelter. They will only pick up at a Harlingen address. Many of us live in Combes. If Combes is contacted they will keep for 3 days then euthanize. Find a neighbor in Harlingen here to work with you. The phone number for Animal Control is the best kept secret in Harlingen. I kept getting sent back to the Shelter so I contacted Harlingen Police and THEY called Animal Control. I gave my phone number and animal control called me 10 minutes before they arrived. They double checked that they were coming to a Harlingen address. It shouldn't have to be so difficult but having the info fresh in my brain, I thought I would share because we know that wasn't our last stray! Hope this helps and thank you Lynne and Larry.

As many of you know, the Board established a Review Committee in March 2021 to review our governing documents; Covenants, Bylaws, and Policies & Procedures. This Committee made several recommendations for changes. The Board reviewed these potential changes and forwarded them to our attorney, Matthew Thigpen. A great deal of time has been dedicated to this effort. The results of these reviews were a set of formatted legislative documents. The following link shows the Review Committee recommendations that were implemented during the Nov 9, 2021 Board meeting: Policies & Procedures - https://b8c8b5e2-b04d-420e-80cf-df148ee412c3.filesusr.com/ugd/2851bf_e3e261b433314868b7b240e0c2d35a63.pdf Here are the links to the documents I am referring to regarding “potential” changes in our governing documents: SEPO Covenants - https://2851bf60-6e92-4440-b098-0166b6640e11.usrfiles.com/ugd/2851bf_62a2252072854d2b8a5a3499cb02f77f.pdf SEPO Bylaws - https://2851bf60-6e92-4440-b098-0166b6640e11.usrfiles.com/ugd/2851bf_680fb0c98ccf4e6386261702d3002e08.pdf SEPO Rules and Regulations Pertaining to Leasing and Occupancy of Units - https://2851bf60-6e92-4440-b098-0166b6640e11.usrfiles.com/ugd/2851bf_bae0f751ed06497897af6b20d4b9007f.pdf The Board has not yet reviewed these last three documents in a Board meeting. They are draft proposed Amendments. Since publishing these same links last week the Board has received several comments from Owners expressing concerns about potential proposed changes. I want to make it known that our Board and the Review Committee, plan to vet any possible changes to our Owners before moving forward. Any change within our Covenants and Bylaws requires our Owners to approve by ballot in an election. Therefore, it is paramount that our Owners agree to a listing of final recommended amendments. How we do that has not yet been determined. I have called special Board meetings next week at 2:30 PM on both Tuesday and Thursday during which the Board will address the issues of concern we have received along with the other items described below. The primary purpose of these special Board meetings is for the Board to examine each of the proposed changes to our governing documents and arrive at a consensus that each change is appropriate or not. In every case there are specific reasons for the suggested changes. I believe it is important to hear each of the reasons or rational for the modifications and determine if it is an appropriate amendment. I would also like the Board to address how best to both educate and provide a method for Owners to comment on any proposed amendments. Owners have asked how this is going to be handled? The answer is we do not know yet. The Board has not addressed this issue. It is my hope we can establish a process during our special Board meetings which will be inclusive and would engage members of the original Review Committee, to arrive at any proposed amendments to our governing documents. We also have a chicken and egg issue. The Board needs to identify proposed final amendments documents first. After that determination, I anticipate the community would have an opportunity to comment on each proposed Board change. As of today, the Board has not accepted any proposed amendments that could be put before the Owners’ for review, comment, for an eventual vote. Providing an educational component to this process is essential if any of the Board proposed changes are to be considered and / or approved by our Owners. The Board anticipates we might want to have a series of meetings where the Community is invited to comment on specific changes. The Board, at the conclusion of these meetings, would then meet again to modify the Board proposed final changes or not. The Board wants to hear Owners’ concerns before the Board decides on any final proposed Amendments. It is the Board’s hope that at the special meeting next week we can finalize the processes to both educate the Owner’s and determine how to receive comments. Tony Tramel SEPO Board President Sent 2022-01-02: Sunshine Web site: Resident PW has been Updated - I did it a little earlier than I said I would, but I just now updated the password that provides access to the 'Residents' section of the Sunshine Web site. It is case sensitive. Keep it in a safe place where you have easy access to it. Please read the e-mail below which I sent out yesterday as an advance notice of this upcoming change - in particular as it pertains to those of you who have Renters currently in your homes. If you find any issues or any pages I may have missed updating, please let me know that immediately. And Please call with any questions or issues. Thanks Beth Parrish SEPO Web site Admin E-Mail: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2022-01-02: Stained Glass Class - Dear residents - Stained glass class will begin this Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in the woodshop. Please dress according to the weather. The class is open to all residents, so the following disclaimer must be understood by all: Everyone attending the stained glass class by their presence, acknowledges potential exposure to Covid-19. Each person is responsible for his/her own choice as it relates to attending this class. We will be working in fairly close proximity to one another, so if you feel the need to wear a mask, please do so. If you are not feeling well, please stay home. Thank you for your understanding in these difficult times. Any questions, please feel free to contact me at 708-280-8910. Cathy Chajec Sent 2022-01-01: Sunshine Web site: Resident PW Update - As a reminder here is what I stated in the Jan 2022 Sunshine Newsletter: SEPO Communications Sunshine Web site: As in January of previous years the Sunshine Web site password will be changing to help keep current resident/renter information as private as possible. This change will be made sometime during the hours of 6 PM & 8 PM the evening of Sunday, January 2, 2022. It will take 30-45 minutes to complete this process. If you are attempting to access the Residents’ section of the Web site during this timeframe some pages may require the old Password while others may require the new Password. I will be sending an e-mail to the community on Saturday, Jan 1, 2022 with the new Password so you are prepared when the update is made. Thanks in advance for your patience with this process. This e-mail is being sent to only current OWNERS of property in Sunshine Country Club Estates. If you have a renter in your property it will be your responsibility to inform them of this password change and ask them not to share it with anyone outside of those renting your home. You wouldn't want your 'private' information available to just anyone, would you? If you have questions, please contact Beth Parrish (Web site Admin) at the e-mail address below. I will send out an e-mail when the entire process is complete. Beth Parrish SEPO Web site Admin E-Mail: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Back to Top
