Absolutely! What about clay garden soil, Yes. Do you have container pots filled with old soil with or without plants? Do you toss the dried up dirt and replace with big box bags of potting mix? What if you need a small amount such as a handful or quart? What if you have lots of containers? Those bags of commercial potting mix can really add up in cost. Let’s breathe new life into that old soil. That just makes sense (cents)! Reusing old potted mix is more satisfying, sustainable, and environmentally friendly. Let’s revitalize that old soil! Are you ready to dig in? Join us for our November get together featuring Michael Navarro. 4:45 pm. Plantings/cuttings are available for a small donation. Snapdragon vine, salvia, basil, porterweed, milkweed, canna starts, crown of thorns, sweet potato vine. If you have extras in your garden feel free to bring. Donations will be put towards edging for gardens.

Other Sunshine Amenities will be displayed soon but are currently: SEPO Email sent to the Sunshine Community on 2025-11-10 - NEED: More Sunshine Properties Info & Pictures (please help me) - It never fails. Every time I'm out on our Sunshine website I see pages which say, "under construction" or "check back soon for more details". I'm sure folks have stopped going to those pages, because some of them have been like that for years. This page is a perfect example. However, I never seem to be able to find time to go around and take pictures of these areas. Of course, there are other pages needing work, but I would like to start with this one. What I'm looking for, to begin with, is someone(s) to take pictures of these areas. Some places could/should have only fix or six pics. Other areas could have lots of pics. I know some of you are excellent at taking pictures, particularly at Women's Club events. How many of you can spare a little time to help me out with this endeavor. DON'T BE SHY. My door (or my email box) is always open. I anxiously await some replies. Thanks in advance. - Beth Parrish, Sunshine Website Admin Email: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 THEY INCLUDE: SEPO Office Library Retzlaff Hall Pool & Hot Tub (w/Restrooms & Shower) Pavilion by Pool Shuffleboard Card Room Pool (Billiards) Room Dog Parks: In the Storage Lot Along Texas Avenue Back to Top

Ball may be moved 12 inches on the fairways at any time (no closer to the pin). 2. Ball may be moved off of bare ground (no closer to the pin). 3.

On hole #2, a ball between the sidewalk and the water may be moved 2 club lengths east or south of the sidewalk but not closer to the pin. 5. "Out of Bounds" and "Water Hazards" Course boundaries are indicated by white posts and/or low cement or wood barriers. A ball must be completely beyond the boundary line to be considered "Out of Bounds". Water hazard boundaries are considered to be the inside vertical face, and it's vertical extension, of the cement sand bag walls of the hazard. A ball hitting the vertical face of the sand bag wall and falling into the water without touching ground beyond the vertical extension is deemed to be in the hazard and not be the point at which it entered the hazard. A Ball lodging in the wall (space between cement sand bags) of a water hazard is deemed to be in the hazard. Drop point for lodged ball will be where it last crossed the hazard boundary before lodging. All balls "Out of Bounds" or in a "Water Hazard" will be played from the point they cross the "Out of Bounds" boundary or "Water Hazard" boundary. The ball will be dropped no more than 2 club lengths from the point where it crossed the boundary line (no closer to the pin) (1 penalty stroke). If the shot that enters "Out of Bounds" or a "Water Hazard", from a teed ball, the player has the option to re-tee and incur the standard "Stroke and Distance" penalty. Ie. Player hits ball OB or in the water, re-tees and lands in the "fairway". The player now lies 3. Exception to above rule. If a ball is hit from the 7th tee into the "Out of Bounds" behind the 6th green, the ball may be put into play by dropping in front of the 7th tee with a one stroke penalty or may be reteed with utilizing the standard "Stroke and Distance" rule. On hole #9, if a ball enters the water left of the green or past the bridge on the right side of the green or over the green, use the nearest drop zone. The drop zones are located in front of the lake on the left side and past the bridge on the right side. Drop zones will be marked during tournaments (l stroke penalty). On hole #2, a ball in the water may be moved 2 club lengths east or south of the sidewalk but not closer to the pin (l stroke penalty). 6.

The ball may not be cleaned and must be placed as close as possible to the original position and condition of lie after the first player hits (no penalty). 7. Casual Water "Casual Water" is defined as any water pooling on the course in any place not designated as a "Water Hazard". Pooling can be considered to occur if water is evident around the sole of your shoe when you stand in a wet spot. When in doubt, consult with playing partners. If doubt still exists, play the original and a provisional and consult with the tournament director when the round is completed. When in "Casual Water", the ball may be moved back or laterally to gain complete relief (no closer to pin). No penalty. 8. Bridges All bridges will be treated as cart paths. If a ball comes to rest on a bridge the ball may be played as it lies or it may be dropped at the closest point of relief, no closer to the hole, and be played without penalty. Tee Box: The "Tee Box" is defined as the area on the teeing ground between the tee markers. The "Tee Box" extends from the front edge of the tee markers to a point two clubs lengths behind the front edge of the tee markers. Only the ball must be within the tee box when teeing off. If the ball is outside the Tee Box when put into play a one stroke penalty will be assessed and the ball must be re-teed and put into play from the Tee Box. 1. When teeing off, a tee must be used. 2. All whiffs are counted. A whiff is when you address the ball, swing and miss. 3. If a struck ball does not clear the tee ground, the ball will be played as it lies. Greens: The "Green" is that area of closely mowed grass surrounding the cup. The "Fringe" is the slightly longer grass surrounding the green. For our purposes, the "Fringe" shall be treated as "Fairway". When marking a ball, the marker should be placed behind the ball. If the marker is in the line of another player's putt the marker may be moved to the side as far as deemed necessary by the player whose line is infringed. The ball will be returned to its original position before putting. Failure to return the ball to the original position will result in a one stoke penalty. If the penalty is assessed for failure to putt from the original position, the ball must be placed in the original position and putted. A two stroke penalty will be assessed if, while putting on the green, you play from another player's marker. A two stroke penalty is assessed for your ball striking another player's ball that is lying on the "Green" while putting your ball from any spot on the "Green". A two stroke penalty is assessed for hitting a club or flagstick lying on the "Green" when putting. 5. The flag may be in or out when chipping or putting from the fringe. If your ball is on the "Green" and the hole cannot be clearly seen, you may ask to have it attended. The flag must be removed before the ball gets to the hole. 7.

Referrals from neighbors are helpful. Be sure to get a bid so you know what you expect it to cost. Do not pay the entire amount upfront. Be wary of solicitors who come to your door uninvited, even if they come with an excuse to be in the neighborhood for some other reason. This is not an accusation against any person or company, but rather a reminder that you must protect yourself in your business dealings. - Share Nelson, President, SEPO Sent 2023-09-08: Resident passing - I wanted to inform the community that Jim Foster passed away early this morning at his home. - Lenore Combs Sent 2023-09-08: Name Tags Are In & Names are on Website - Rather than posting the names of those who need to pick up their Name Tags from the office on the Website in plain sight in the 'emails sent' section (HERE ), I have created a page in the 'Residents Only' section (HERE ) with the list of names of the 'recent' Name Tags received by the Office and also the list of names of the 'past' Name Tags which Valerie has had in the Office for some time. - Beth Parrish SEPO Website Admin E-Mail: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2023-09-08: Concern over "workers" in Sunshine - Dear Friends, Today, 7 September 2023, there was a Hispanic man in here driving a white pick-up truck (sort of late model, well-used condition etc).

And for me personally, that means it's time to think about the Oct 2023 Sunshine Newsletter. Yep, that's right, you all need to start thinking about those great articles you are going to be composing and sending to me, the once-again Sunshine Newsletter Editor. Normally you will be getting Newsletter Reminders on the 17th and 23rd of each month from September thru February. But since this is the first edition of the season, I'm giving you an early reminder. I spent part of Saturday reviewing and making some slight updates to the Newsletter Guidelines. The updated document is available on the website HERE . Again, I’m thinking this first Newsletter in particular, would be a great opportunity for everyone who manages or participates in one of our clubs (like Women's Club or Rock Painting) or activities (like Golf) to ‘get the word out’ about them. I’m hoping that you provide the following types of information for this Newsletter, in addition to the normal Activities info for the month of October: Club/Activity Name Contact Name(s) Is there a Board? Do you ‘meet’? If so, where and when? Are meeting minutes, etc. provided? General Description. Some of this info is on the Website (but may need to be updated ) HERE AND HERE . What needs to be updated/corrected on these pages? What else can be displayed on these pages? What additional pages do we need/want? This is a perfect opportunity: For you to review and become more familiar with the Website . For me to get the Website updated with current and correct info. Remind the community of what a great place Sunshine is to live. As always: Please provide your articles to me – by September 24 at the latest. The earlier the better. When you have your article prepared, please submit it to seponewsletter@gmail.com . If you need some examples of prior year Newsletters, they can be found HERE . Thank you all in advance for helping me get the word out and keeping the community informed. - Beth Parrish SEPO Website Admin E-Mail: seponewsletter@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2023-09-03: Closure of Various Common Areas - Waxing and stripping will start Tuesday, September 5, 2023.

Clubs & Committees (Summer 2021) Additional Details COMPLETE Neighborhood Watch Utility Ride: April 12, 2021 Sent 2021-04-19: REMINDER: Neighborhood Watch Utility Ride this Tuesday 1pm - Dear Friends - Reminder - tomorrow 1pm at Retzlaff Hall door. Use your golf cart. We will travel around SCCE checking out power poles, transformers and other stuff. Looks like good weather too. Next month is STOP-THE-BLEED month. We can give a class if you like. - safely - very interesting. -- Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 Coordinator NW-CERT Sent 2021-04-12: NW - CERT Information and Utility Ride April 2021 - Sunshine Neighborhood Watch – CERT Team (Est. 2008) Harlingen’s premier NW & CERT Team. Lights On -- Lock Up and Look Out for one other! RE: Sunshine NW-CERT notice --- dated 12 April 2021 for Utility Ride Tuesday 20 April 1pm Lenore J. Combs, Coordinator, 956-245-1276, LJCombs44@gmail.com Dear Friends: We will NOT have the usual “Virtual” NW-CERT meeting this month of April. BUT - Instead of our meeting, we shall conduct our annual Utility Safety Ride on Tuesday 20 April at 1PM . Everyone is invited. Meet us by the Retzlaff Hall side door on Michigan Avenue. We will have an interesting Golf Cart ride viewing our Utility Pads, Transformers and etc. – most informative thanks to Kathy Wunderlich. Back to “instead of our usual meeting” We shall conduct our annual Utility Safety Ride on Tuesday the 20th of April at 1PM sharp. Everyone is invited. Meet us by the Retzlaff Hall side door on Michigan Avenue. We will have an interesting Golf Cart ride viewing our Utility Pads, Transformers and etc. – most informative thanks to Kathy Wunderlich. If Sunshine has an “issue” this summer, such as a power or flooding condition – we are in it until professional help arrives. So, sharpen up your learning curve and join us. See how we can immediately respond safely at the scene. For instance, stay away from downed power lines or report a downed line. On the other hand, if water is running wildly down the street or a gas odor is detected – take appropriate action. Your safety is job one. (Best to notify the Board or the Office before any action is taken. But if it is a case of serious emergency and if action was taken – make sure they become aware). Another example - Did you know if you are in your car, if a power line falls on it, the car will channel electricity around you, so you will not get hurt? You get help by honking the horn or yelling out the window – even use your phone. Warn passersby NOT to come near your vehicle. If you would have to exit your vehicle that is touching a power line, you would have to jump out of the car with both feet touching, and landing with both feet together, to avoid getting shocked – then shuffle away with both feet touching. Take a look at some of the CERT materials available (for free). IS 317 - Introduction To Community Emergency Response Teams is a great start. Also, take a peek at the AEP Web site – good info. We shall all have fun learning about the dangers of Utility Poles, the anatomy of a Utility Pole, why they are dangerous – stray voltage, dangling wires, transformers and chemical toxins etc. COVID commandments: Wear your mask- Wash your hands- Social Distance- Act Responsibly Lenore J.

Sorry for any confusion this may have caused. Beth Parrish, SEPO E-Mail E-News Admin E-Mail: sepoenews@gmail.com 314-960-6710 ************************************ The SEPO Board met earlier today (May 20, 2021 @ 1:30 PM via Google Meet). One of the agenda items was as follows: Determine next steps (Review/Change or Not/Approve) SEPO Covid-19 Restrictions with discussion and potential Action. During the discussion of this item, each board member voiced his/her opinion on what the next step should be pertaining to the current SEPO Covid-19 restrictions. At the end of this discussion, a motion was made and seconded to ‘remove’ all current SEPO Covid-19 restrictions. A formal vote was taken with the following results – YES from Beth Parrish, Larry Keller, Lenore Combs and Jean Burgoine & NO from Mecca Henry and Lyn Swonger. Since the vote was not a tie, President Tony Tramel did not vote. The Board would like to thank everyone for being diligent over the past 16 or so months in helping keep our Sunshine Estates residents safe. Although, Sunshine is now starting our normal activities, we encourage you using your personal decision regarding mask use / attendance at meetings and other activities. We believe each person has to be responsible for themselves. Please do what YOU feel comfortable doing. It is my feeling that SEPO owners are highly vaccinated and have been so for more than a couple of months, which I believe, was a primary reason for the positive vote to remove our restrictions. Prior posted Covid-19 restrictions which have been posted on SEPO buildings and the Sunshine Web site will be removed. The May 27th Summer Potluck , chaired by Marian Young, will be the first activity that will not have SEPO Covid-19 restrictions. Refer to the Sunshine Web site Activity Summary page for additional scheduled Activities. It appears this is the beginning of the end for Covid-19 for SEPO, and hopefully the State and the Nation. Tony Tramel SEPO Board President Sent 2021-05-18: Library - I will be gone from Sunshine from May 22 – early September. There will be nobody to process gift books. Please hold all gift books until mid-September or take them somewhere else. You are welcome to take all the books you want to read.

A master code will be held by SEPO. When hosting an event or otherwise needing access to the kitchen, a temporary code can be obtained from Valerie in the office. Keep in mind, if there is a weekend event, you should obtain the temporary code prior to Valerie closing the office on Friday. In the event, you have an unexpected need to access the kitchen and Valerie is not available, the President of Women’s Club will assist you. The temporary code will be deleted the following Monday or in an otherwise timely manner following weekday events. Upon leaving the kitchen, the interior doors will be closed and must be physically locked, from inside the kitchen and people will exit from the kitchen to the outside after physically locking that door. If you oversee closing the hall, lock the doors, and exit through the kitchen as described above. The kitchen area is currently open on weekdays from 7:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. If a person in charge of an event wishes to lock the freezer, that person must check the key out from the office.

This week the band has a special guest: Kiley & Company There's NO Cover Charge. Just BYOB and have some fun. OH - And during the band's break, the Women's Club serves Ice Cream for $1. YUM Beth Parrish (for Roy Ridlon & the Women's Club) ******************** Sent 2019-11-11: Sunday Night Music Update - I wanted to thank everyone who came to listen to me play last night in Retzlaff. 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). Jim Collins plays base guittar and lives in Lakeside. Chuck Penn does vocals and plays rhythm guittar. He will be renting here in Sunshine this season. So hope to see you next Sunday.

The cost will be $1.00 a bowl per person Denny and Jean Eich will be getting the ice cream on a weekly basis but we need volunteers to: serve the ice cream make coffee do clean up There will be a sign-up sheet for someone or several people to take a Sunday evening and be responsible for this to happen. This is only a one-time commitment unless you sign up for several Sundays. The sign-up sheet will be available starting this Sunday at the music event in Retzlaff Hall. After that it will be in the library. We hope you will consider this fun event! If you have any questions please give me call. Vickie Jones, Women's Club Activity Director 262-689-7068 ******************** Sent 2019-11-06: IMPORTANT: Sunday Night Music @ Retzlaff - Additional Details & Request for Assistance Those of you who used to attend the Sunday Night music activity in the past are aware that during the band's break there was Ice Cream (YUM) available for $1. 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. Beth Parrish, SEPO Communications, (for Eileen) ******************** Sent 2019-11-05: Sunday Night Music @ Retzlaff - For those of you who like to listen/dance to good Classic Country music, you are going to get your chance to do that starting this Sunday, Nov 10 thru end of Mar 2020, from 6 to 8 PM in Retzlaff Hall. Roy Ridlon (new resident) and two other gentlemen who play with him will be providing musical entertainment for us here at Sunshine. They will also be having special guests join them in the band throughout the season. If any other information is provided, I will send it out via e-mail.
