This is a 27-hole, 3-day golf scramble, with an awards dinner on Saturday evening. We have had more than 180 people participate in this event in the past. It is a fun tournament for 55+ aged persons. Each year we encourage Sunshine Country Club residents to participate in any way they are most comfortable. We know that everyone is not a golfer, but this event is a perfect way to get involved in our community and “Let the Sunshine In!” Although the GNDGT Committee will purchase many gifts for the Award Dinner, in the past, we asked residents to consider preparing a gift basket and donating it for the drawing/awards dinner. Gift baskets have been a great success as a personal prize during the awards dinner. Many residents donated these baskets, which the recipients greatly appreciated during the drawing. This year we would also like to open the possibility of Donations. If you would like to participate with a donation, here are some ideas: Gift baskets valued at $25- $50, filled with “new items,” (In past years, many of the baskets were filled with items of their favorite sports team or “New” items purchased from any local retailer or even your hometown). You might consider donating a Gift Card. You can donate any amount from local retailers, including restaurants. Direct monetary donations are also welcome; don’t hesitate to contact the committee chair to make this happen. Gift baskets and other donations must be received before the March 2nd event date. Our goal is to have fun before and during this event! Don't hesitate to contact the GNDGT Chairperson, Tony Tramel, at 337-693-6344 or trtramel@gmail.com regarding donations and/or other questions.

Many residents had questions, suggestions, opinions etc. during the Information meeting. Several residents stated the ‘rumors’ they were hearing around the community. We hope residents left the meeting feeling prepared to vote on the proposed ballots. This meeting was not on Google Meet, and therefore, not recorded. We are asking those in attendance to assist in answering questions etc and clearing up rumors they have heard from their friends and neighbors. In fact, the final statement at the meeting was from a resident asking the attendees to do just that. As was stated during the meeting, these ballots are not proposals to benefit the Board. They are not ‘for’ the Board. They are proposals from the Board that we hope you believe will benefit the entire community. The ballots have been on the Web site for a few days now HERE . PLEASE NOTE: These ballots have not yet been delivered to Owners. The Board will be taking one final look at them during the Jan 10 Board meeting. It’s possible some modifications may be made, before turning them over to the Election Committee to start processing them.

The Harlingen Irrigation District has agreed to give Sunshine 30 days of water starting Friday the 22nd. This water is for the golf course only . If we use this for any other purpose they may cut us off and won’t look at continuing a possible month to month program. We’ll be checking the homes around the course for any leaks or active sprinklers. Thanks for your understanding. - Tom Perrier SEPO Board Sent 2025-08-21: Anniversary Party - From Dee Novak Sent 2025-08-20: Well Update - Since the last update we’ve been working the well by filling the ponds on the course. The guys noticed that after filling the ponds the water didn’t seem so salty. Monday morning they tested samples at the pool store, and with another meter that Jerry Wetherby purchased (thank you Jerry). Both samples tested lower than the numbers we received from the Texas A&M lab. So the water had improved, but still too high for using as is. We also sent another sample to Texas A&M to test. We are going to continue working the well by pumping to a street drain and periodically test samples to see if this improves the salt level. Last week I spoke with Norris Leal, an engineering company in Harlingen about the water and waiting for information from them. Thank you, - Tom Perrier SEPO Board Sent 2025-08-12: LOST: Golf Club - Saturday afternoon, finishing golf, I accidentally left my "Cougar, K-CAT" pitching wedge on the ninth hole. This set of clubs is very Special to me. If you can help me find it, call me. - Lee Kerschen, 316 3059442 Sent 2025-08-12: Well Update - Well Update We received the water test report back today from the Texas A&M labs and the sodium/saline content is high. The Sodium Absorption Rate (SAR) is 17.8 Which falls in the 10-18 range, Medium Sodium Hazard - Gypsum and leaching needed. Jerry Wetherbee and I have been discussing these results and don’t feel we know enough about what this means, regarding the turf that's on our golf course. And we’re going to reach out to the Texas A&M lab for guidance on what we want to do next. I am also going to contact an engineering company here in Harlingen about the aquifers that are in our location and what options might be available to us, regarding the well. The irrigation system we have in place has been showing its age, but Manny, Joe and Lalo, with huge help from Jerry Wetherbee and Pat Heinerikson, are doing repairs. They’ve also been spending a lot of time figuring out how the new pump works with the old system and how many sprinklers can be used at the same time. As far as residents using the water from the well, we don’t feel we know enough about how the salty water will react with your plants and grass, to advise using it. I will post more when I’ve had conversations with those businesses and individuals that I referred to earlier. And again, I appreciate your patience and support while working on this project.

I mentioned several times last winter that I would like to be able to have some help maintaining the Sunshine Website, particularly during the Winter season. And, low and behold, a few of you had replied that you might be interested. Unbelievably for me, I didn't start a file of those 'yes' replies, so I'm at a loss as to who to contact. What I would like to do is see how many of you might still be interested. If you are, please reply to this email within the next 10 days . If I get enough yes replies, I'm thinking about putting together some sort of training session that I would teach during the late Oct / early Nov timeframe to help you decide if you want to learn more. NOTE: The system we use only allows one person to update it at a time, so I envision volunteers would be taking turns doing updates.

But the water coming out of the well has a higher salt content than we were hoping for and Jerry Weatherby has sent water and soil samples to the Texas A&M Soil and Water labs for testing. Information that we’ve been looking at shows that the Bermuda grasses, which are on the golf course, are very resilient to that type of water. But we want to know more about what we have currently for salt in the soil and what types of salt are in the well water. My suggestion is to wait till we get those tests back before you start using the water for your plants. Test results should take 6-10 days. Thank you, - Tom Perrier, SEPO Board Sent 2025-08-01: WELL update - Now that the well is operational, we had a few leaks in the irrigation system on the golf course, but they have been resolved. We had several volunteers help yesterday to confirm no water issues at peoples residences. Over the next few days for those of you still here, please keep an eye out for pooling water. Let any of the employees be aware and see if there is a source from which the issue is starting.

And they are being rewarded because they are so successful. So – as a reminder……. Lights on and Lock up! We shall relive the Sunshine Vehicle Decal Program (previously endorsed by our Board). For several reasons, none worthwhile, it was sort of dropped during COVID times. But the Bad Guys have proven value and the Harlingen Police Department agrees. Jean Burgoine and I will begin this soon. We have decals for the vehicles and for our Golf Carts. Congrats to Mary Grandy and Nancy Johns who recently completed the Citizens Police Academy. Thanks to Carol and Miles who resigned for health reasons and who faithfully patrolled Sunshine for many schedules. And thanks again to those who continue to patrol.

Each month there will be 3-4 danglers available you can pick from that depict something seasonal from the month the class is held. You can make 1 or more - you choose. For example, in December we will be making Christmas danglers. Some of the various designs available for this season are shown here.

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.

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.

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.

Kady Pohlmeyer 956-642-6003 ************************* Barbara Ann Carlson Barbara Ann Carlson of Harlingen passed away quietly while surrounded by family on March 16, 2024 at the age of 84. Barb was born the middle of three girls on June 20, 1939 in Peoria, Illinois to the late Hank Zipper and Katherine (McCann) Zipper. She spent most of her childhood playing with her two sisters Carolyn (Wally) Anderson and Bonnielyn (Bill) Witt. She loved playing jacks, kick-the-can, and even playing pranks while growing up. She also enjoyed playing baseball with the team of boys that her dad coached when they were short players. After graduating from Peoria High School in 1957, she worked as a secretary, and then accountant at Hiram Walkers. Barb met Carlton Toby Carlson in June 1958. They were married on Oct. 10, 1959, and honeymooned in New Orleans. The couple then moved to Evanston, Illinois where they had two children: Eric and Kady. In 1966, they moved to Toronto, Canada for two years, where Barb developed a love of the team sport curling. After that, the family settled in Minnetonka, Minnesota. Barb and Toby spent many weekends in northern Minnesota on Howard Lake, first at Moore Springs Resort, and then at her parent’s cabin. There were many fond memories of playing cards, fishing, turtle hunting, and time with her sisters and family. Before retirement, Barb worked as a head bookkeeper for Kraemer’s Hardware, and then at Opportunity Partners, a non-profit foundation. She was also a grief mentor for people who lost family members. Barb loved traveling, which included cruises and trips to Africa, Alaska, Russia, and Asia, amongst many other places. After Toby passed away in 2001, religion and faith became an important part of her life and she was confirmed at Zion Lutheran Church in Hopkins, Minnesota in Nov. 2001. Barb moved to Harlingen in 2011, where she met the second love of her life, Jack Scott. They continued traveling –– going to China to see the Terra Cotta Soldiers, the Panama Canal, and their regular camping trips on South Padre Island. Barb was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Toby, and brother-in-law Wally. The memory of Barb will be cherished by her friend Jack, son Eric (Janet) Carlson, daughter Kady (Terry) Pohlmeyer, grandchildren Bryce (Jenn), Shane (Stephanie), Paige (DJ), Tara (Alex), and Corey, and two great-grandchildren Isla and Quinn. A memorial service will be held at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Harlingen on Saturday, March 23, at 11 a.m., with graveside services at Glendale Cemetery in Washington, Illinois at a later date. Instead of flowers, please donate to St. Paul Lutheran Church Backpacks of Love, an organization Barb regularly supported, at https://splch.breezechms.com/give/online , noting “Give to Backpack Ministry”.

However, I'm realizing now I probably shouldn't have put my Election Committee email address in my signature. Please simply hit 'reply' to the email I sent out earlier and it will automatically go to one of my committee members who is tallying your replies. - Beth Parrish 2026 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 314-960-6710 Sent 2025-12-15: 2026 SEPO Election: ACTION REQUIRED - Sunshine vs Away Address for Ballot Packet Mailing - Hi All – Knowing how important accurate information in the Sunshine Estates Property Owner (SEPO) directory is, particularly as it relates to the upcoming SEPO election, I need you to verify your data to ensure everyone who should be receiving a 2026 SEPO election ballot packet does indeed receive it. As you’ve been hearing over the past week or so, this is probably one of the most important ballots you’ve ever been asked to vote on. If you haven’t already received it, you will be getting a letter via USPS from the Board explaining what this ballot is all about. First - What the Election Committee needs is for at least one Sunshine Estates Property Owner member (someone eligible to vote) from each household to review the attached directory to ensure your Sunshine address(s) and your AWAY address (if you have one) are accurate. If the address(s) or ANYTHING ELSE needs corrected, let me know. Second – Provide which mailing address (Sunshine or AWAY ) you want on the outside envelope of your election packet. Any packets not picked up or hand-delivered to you by Jan 13, 2026 will be mailed to you between Jan 14 & 16 via USPS. NOTE: If no address is specified in your reply to this email, the election packet will be mailed to your Sunshine address. FYI: We need the same information for those homes that are in an LLC or currently in a Trust. IN SUMMARY – the Election Committee needs the following info in your reply to this email: Are your address(s) correct? What address should go on the outside envelope of your election packet? Is your ‘other information’ correct? Please reply by noon on Sunday, December 21, AT THE LATEST. Thank you for your rapid reply so that the Election Committee can get to work. - Beth Parrish 2026 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2026sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2025-12-13: MARKET: Homes For Sale or Rent (Weekly Update) - This past week, the following updates were made to Homes for Sale / Rent on the Sunshine MARKET .(https://www.sunshinecountryclub.com/sale-rent-homes ) For Sale Dec 13, 2025 The description for the home at 4232 N Minnesota Street, owned by Freddie Thomas Lucas, has been updated. - Beth Parrish Sunshine Website Admin Email: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2025-12-13: Women's Club meeting Dec 19th, 2025 - 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 Hello ladies of Sunshine Estates!

We are in the process of locating talented SEPO Homeowner volunteers who would like to serve on the SEPO Board of Directors or who would be willing to assist the Secretary or Treasurer in their positions. Experience and willingness to learn and grow is a plus for homeowners (or their spouses) wishing to volunteer. We need to fill three of the current Board members' positions whose terms are ending in February 2026. 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.

So someone could make a request such as "I need a ride to the doctor, is there someone who could take me?" then someone in the group could respond saying they are available. We will also be able to use this format to provide information on what resources are available from the City or other organizations. Please reach out to me directly if you have any questions or are interested in being added to the group. If you are able to provide help to others please let me know so we can add you to the group.

They are opening up small holes along the installation route to make sure they aren’t disturbing existing utilities as they push the fiber optic cable in. This will be the process for most of the installation. The path they are using for the installation is generally in the easement for utilities. The easements on your property are 10’ on the property lines bordering the street and 5’ on the back and interior property lines. Depending on weather and obstructions, these holes shouldn’t be open for more than 72 hours. Please stay out of these areas when the holes are open.

Sent 2025-11-25: Neighborhood Watch-CERT: Everything you need to know - Lenore had sent some info for the Oct Newsletter which Cyndi Skidmore and I thought might not be quite right for the Newsletter. So she and I and Lenore have worked on it and condensed it into a document which is perfect for the Sunshine website HERE . It was attached to this email. And copies will be available in the Neighborhood Watch section of the Library/Lounge area for you to read while in that building. (Please don't remove from there.) If you have seen parts of or maybe even all of this info previously, it will serve as a REFRESHER to you. For others who aren't familiar with this wonderful organization and all they do, it will help you to know them and you might even consider being a part of it all. I know while working on it, I learned several things I wasn't aware of, and appreciate Lenore providing this wonderful document for all of us. Although it is somewhat lengthy, it is well worth the read. Please contact Lenore (956-254-1276) if you have any questions about the documents content or wish to discuss joining the Neighborhood Watch. - Beth Parrish, Cyndi Skidmore & Lenore Combs Newsletter November 2025: - By Lenore Combs, Neighborhood Watch Newsletter October 2025: - By Jean Burgoine, Neighborhood Watch Hello Friends and returning Winter Texans, The purpose of this article is three-fold: As you are packing to return South, please, remember to pack your old prescription eyeglasses. The Rotary Club recycles them and passes them along to those in need. They want the glasses, not the cases. You can place the eyeglasses in the Rotary box located in the library along the south wall. Since the flood last spring, many of you are driving different vehicles. Please, contact Valerie in the office or me, Jean Burgoine, if you need a Sunshine sticker for your rear windshield. This little sticker identifies your vehicle as belonging in the Sunshine community. This makes it easier for the people on Neighborhood Watch. Several years ago, my car broke down on the expressway. A passing driver from Sunshine noticed my sticker and came to help me. That little sticker does a lot of good. On September 6th, we had a powerful little storm with high winds, lots of thunder and lightning, and heavy rain. I found 2 nice patio cushions on the number 5 fairway. They are now on my front porch waiting for their owner to claim them. Safe journey back to Sunshine. - By Lenore Combs, Neighborhood Watch Back to Top

We would like to WARN people about not jumping right away to schedule work to be done by these folks – especially not before you do a thorough investigation into their work ethic / background. Apparently, this same thing happened during the last flood a few years ago and also after hurricane dolly – with nightmare stories after the work was done. So please be careful. - SEPO Board Sent 2025-03-29: Volunteer Luncheon Monday 3/31/25 - Hello, neighbors! What a whirlwind the last few days have been!

See ya on April 21st. Also, the CERT class was postponed for now as Fire Chief Darrel Loftus is doing a new class of Firefighters and he is very busy. But count on your return in the Fall for a class. A class is usually 5 or so weeks (usually one weekly 4 hour class) Well worth the time & effort. Our books are even ready for us. I still have your names and we can probably take a few more. Anyway, y'all have a safe trip home. BTW - Over at Encore Resort ..... a man had a heart attack, dropped on the floor, one of the NW folks started CPR, another called EMS and ----- the man is alive and well. He was taken to the hospital - is stable and doing well. So if anyone needed a push to take a class on CPR - you just had it. I'll be around if anyone has questions. PS: The Police Department will most likely have a Citizens Police Academy in the Fall - if you're interested. -- Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 Sent 2025-03-04: AGENDAS: Board Mtg (Reg), Mar 10, 2025 & Residents' Mtg, Mar 11, 2025 - Both @ 1 PM - The agenda for the 'Hybrid' Mar 10, 2025 Board Meeting (Regular) at 1 PM can be accessed directly from HERE AND on the Sunshine website HERE .
