In case you haven’t seen it, the wall is up in Retzlaff Hall and has 41 names on it. Those of you who have made a pledge for this project, I will be coming around this week to collect. I want to thank all those who have donated to this project both monetarily and with their time and labor. The applications are still available from Valerie in the SEPO office. When you complete your application return it to Valerie along with your picture. If you do not have a picture or prefer a current picture be sure to check the box on the form that you will need a picture taken. I will be contacting you upon my return in the fall to take a current picture for this book. Remember as we travel home to be safe and when you get there find your favorite picture of you or your spouse, in uniform or not, to be placed in the book that is placed with the display wall. I want to have this SUNSHINE HEROS display to represent all of the people who served.

I will be available in the library on March 12, 2020 between 10:00 and 12:00 to take pictures and accept applications. If you have a picture I will be accepting them at these times.

All name plates and pictures that are placed on the wall and in the book should remain there indefinitely. I want to inform our residents on the status of this project. The wall is installed and the name plates are ordered. Engraving is being done on 28 of the plates, as that is the amount of applicants we had when the order was placed. Additional plates will be engraved as we receive applications. The pledges that I asked for at the Annual Meeting are coming in with many neighbors preferring to make cash donations rather than a pledge. I am keeping an accounting of all donations and expenditures and will make it available for anyone to see upon request. It is hoped that the first name plates will be on the wall very soon.

They are well known for helping the disadvantaged during emergencies and for their Christmas programs (Angel Tree) and bell ringing for needy families and their kids. Sunshine has been blessed much over many years helping here in Harlingen with the Friday after Thanksgiving. A wonderful part of this is that all the funds raised locally are used locally . Bell ringing is a big part of raising the funds. We raised $1,007.66 this year, more than any other year during the single day effort. The figures were broken down as Pharmacy door $563.88 and $433.78 on the grocery side. That is a lot of single dollar and small coin donations. A little factoid from the SA literature (Loan Star Christmas edition) says that one-hour volunteering ringing bells helps put food on the table for 13 people. Sunshine had 38 (2 couples did two shifts) people volunteer one hour each this year and using this measure, would feed 572 people. We also had candy donations from some of our ringers and that was used to great effect. Big thanks from the Salvation Army and me too. It is heartening to see the effort and willingness of our residents. Now I’m asking for someone younger who is willing to take over my duties of organizing this? I just turned 87 and have done this for a long time. I am leaving this year and will turn it over to a willing person. Arv Russell 2019-11-20: Bell Ringers (Backups Needed) - Thanks to everyone who signed up to "Ring the Bells" for the Salvation at WalMart the day after Thanksgiving. We have all of the timeslots filled - BUT - would like to have some backups on call in case anyone on the sheet is not able to make it at their appointed time. If you haven't received the scheduling sheet so you know your time/door and who is before & after you, please contact either Lorraine Lewis or Arv Russell. Also contact either of them if you could be a backup on call. Thanks again. Lorraine Lewis/Arv Russell 2019-11-16: Bell Ringers needed - Sunshine has volunteered to Support the Salvation Army for many years in bringing hope and support to the disadvantaged in our community. And we are doing it again this year. We need some more volunteers to ring bells. We ring at the Walmart in Harlingen on November 29th (the Friday after Thanksgiving). We do one-hour shifts and need two people each at both the north and south doors. It is a time of joy as families and kids are in a holiday spirit. Please help if you can be a part of this worthwhile project by signing up on the Scheduling Sheet that is currently posted in the Library.

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.

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

A few items to touch on as many of you plan your departures back north, and our full-time residents get ready for the heat. BOARD MEETING – We will hold an additional board meeting on Monday, April 13, at 1 p.m. (NOTE - there will be no residents meeting the next day). All residents are encouraged to attend this additional board meeting, an opportunity for the board to discuss and decide on important topics affecting our community. In the last meeting, residents had the chance to share their opinions and suggestions. Topics for discussion/possible action during the April 13 meeting will include traffic-calming measures, updates on our current and future fund balance, and road maintenance planning. SUMMER YARD CARE - As part of SEPO Policies and Procedures, if you will be leaving for the summer, please remember to contact Valerie in the office. It's important to inform her who will be taking care of your yard (name and phone number) while you are away. We want to proactively address any potential yard maintenance issues to avoid the weed problems we experienced last summer. Thank you in advance for following this process. RECYCLE BIN - As of Monday night, we are still waiting for the RedFish recycling bin to arrive at the storage lot. The company currently does not have the desired bin size available. Although we were supposed to receive it last week, we still haven't. We appreciate your patience during this unexpected delay. WILD ANIMALS IN AREA – We have received reports of some potentially dangerous wild animals on our property. This includes bobcats and javelinas along the resaca on Missouri Street and heading across onto the golf course near Wisconsin. These creatures are likely not a danger to humans, but we suggest keeping a close eye on smaller dogs/cats at night.

For those of you heading north to your summer homes, safe travels, and we will see you again in the fall. - Lisa Seiser President, SEPO Board of Directors Sent 2026-03-24: WC, Easter Sunrise Services - additional information - Good morning SEPO Community!

The Harlingen Police Department becomes familiar with these families, currently is collecting toys and hereby requests if anyone at Sunshine can please donate a gift ($10.00 or so).

Do not wrap the gifts, just attach the tag to the gift. Then put the gift in the box under the table. I know this seems early in the year, but the deadline for this drive is November 23.

Mark Owen Sent 2021-02-15: Neighborhood Watch Meeting Details for Today (A Good Use of your time) - In case you haven't received this yet, it concerns the NW meeting info for today. You are no doubt just as bored as I am today - all locked in and tired of daytime TV. If you haven't been to a Neighborhood Watch meeting before, this afternoon (Monday 2/15) at 3:00 is your chance to do something different. Neighborhood Watch is that group of volunteers that patrol our streets in the evenings, offer Operation ID services and also operate the security cameras. Catalytic converter thefts are going wild in St. Paul MN these days and we can probably expect them to become popular here in Harlingen again. It was the IR perimeter monitoring of the storage lot that seems to have taught the locals to leave us alone, but memories are short. Neighborhood watch does a lot for us. This afternoon you may as well set in on the virtual meeting and learn a lot more about NW. About 5 or 10 minutes before 3:00, click on the following: https://meet.google.com/tgt-wrgz-jcf and ask to be admittted to the meeting. Once admitted it might be good for you to mute your microphone unless you want everyone to hear what is happening in your house. The agenda can be found HERE .

It will be with the Original Dolphins Watch line who have been providing winter Texans with fun and informative tours for many years. You will see the giant oil platforms on the Gulf of Mexico and a wide assortment of international ships that ply their trade through the Port of Brownsville, The Port of Brownsville is the home to five of the nations largest ship-wrecking companies...who knew there was such a thing? It is also possible you will see native dolphins, local and migratory birds and learn about the shrimping industry. The boat will hold 40 people (actually the boat will hold 75 people, but because of Covid-19, I am limiting it to 40 people only). Beer, wine and shrimp will be offered. You can bring your own cooler. Afterwards, we might want to visit one of the restaurants on the island for dinner and/or drinks. The cost (if we have forty people) is $35.00 which incudes the beer, wine and shrimp. You can call or message me at 847 452-7804, or email at sswidryk007@aaol.com if you are interested.

Carnival is another common name for Pre-Lenten festivities because in Latin carnelevarium means to take away or remove meat. Dear Friends, Mark your calendars for Tuesday - 16 February 2021. Our Women’s Club is the sponsor and Eileen Anderson and Marian Young are points of contact. Looking for lots of volunteers and great ideas – contact Eileen at 507 317 0296 and or Marian 719 468 4556. Eileen and Marian can plan a meeting. * This is an initial announcement for this Mardi Gras event – so start forming your ideas and Krewes - do your colors. Prizes will be awarded. Here’s a little history to get you in the spirit. Mardi Gras, is traditionally celebrated as “Fat Tuesday” before Ash Wednesday and is the start of Lent. It is a tradition dating back thousands of years to pagan spring and fertility rights. The first Mardi Gras took place in March 1699 when French explorers landed in New Orleans where they held a small celebration dubbed Port du Mardi Gras. In the decades that followed, New Orleans and other French settlements began marking the holiday with street parties, masked balls and lavish dinners. In 1857, a secret society of New Orleans businessmen called the Mistick Krewe of Comus organized a torch-lit Mardi Gras procession with marching bands and rolling floats setting the tone for future public celebrations. These iconic colors have meaning – Purple is for justice, gold is power and green stands for faith. Since then, these krewes have remained a fixture of the Carnival scene including throwing beads, wearing masks, decorating floats and eating King cake. Let’s add Sunshine to the map!

S EPO Community E-Mails: August 2021 Sent 2021-08-31: UPDATE: Resaca Water - We now have Resaca water and are no longer limiting residence use of the Resaca. SEPO Board Sent 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.

It identifies them and allows them full access to the golf course. The medallion should be highly visible and not stuffed in a golf bag pocket. Also concerning Guests from the SEPO Policies & Procedures: GUESTS: 3. …… 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. The medallions are free and can be obtained from the office. Your name will be put on the medallion before you exit the office. Guest medallions must be returned to the Office after they are no longer needed. Players on the Sunshine course without this identification may be stopped and questioned.

This is a closed session as permitted by Texas law since the meeting pertains to potential litigation issues.

Dee Novak Sent 2021-08-14: Changes in your access to the Sunshine Woodshop - Because of the changes being brought about by the Delta variant of the Covid virus, the Woodworker's club is implementing some changes in access to the woodshop. Starting Monday 8/15/21, you will be asked to show the on-duty Monitor either a copy of your Vaccination Record Card or a copy of a recent Negative Covid test. Should you need one, tests are available free from both Walgreens and CVS. We are truly sorry for this change but then, we are even more sorry that the Delta variant is creating such rapid increases in infections in society. The number of positive tests in Harlingen has increased 19 fold in the last 2 months - going from just 2 new infections per day to 38 new infections per day since mid June. The Woodworkers club will review this change on a monthly basis as needed. Let's all try to stay safe.

Sharon Schaub Sent 2021-08-08: Update on NW Patrol and Indiana Circle - Dear Friends - Hope there is no confusion about this new decision. 🤔 There will be NO Patrols on Indiana Circle past the cul de sac - and that includes going behind those homes. The rationale is for safety reasons - in the dark, construction materials, some volunteers are not familiar with the back of these homes, there is new grass laid and the sprinklers go on - just to name a few. It became clear when several residents and Board members expressed concern. So, to play safe - patrol on Indiana only up to the cul de sac and stay on the left hand side as you head toward it and use the same side to exit. Shan was on last night and was aware. Kat, Marian, Mary and I explored possibilities and we are in agreement with Tony Tramel (Board President) and Lyn Swonger (Board Golf Course Director) - SAFETY FIRST. Thanks - contact me if you need. 😊 -- Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 NW Coordinator and SEPO Board Member Sent 2021-08-07: Neighborhood Watch Patrol and the construction site on Indiana Circle - Dear Friends - This memo is informational and instructional for all Residents. The NW evening patrol is instructed to ride the south side of Indiana Circle for safety reasons while construction is ongoing. NW Volunteers: To patrol around the homes at the circle, - enter at the Golf Cart path by Nelson's home at 1929 W. Indiana Circle - head around the rear of the homes in the grass past the affected homes and exit at the end of Hole 4 onto Indiana Circle leading to N. Missouri Street. Stay on the Cart path best you can, ride on the grass as necessary. Check the Golf Carts parked behind the homes and the rear of the homes best you can. Use the flashlight only if needed. Their keys should not be left in the Golf Cart and hopefully that will be a given. It is not your obligation to check them.. If this message needs improvement, please CALL or email me. Any questions or concerns - CALL or email me.

The Newsletter Guidelines can be found here: www.sunshinecountryclub.com/sepo-newsletter-guidelines . The process for distributing the Newsletter to all of you is going to be different ongoing in order to get the info to you timely and in a format where you can see all of the effort that has been put into several of the articles sent to me by your Sunshine neighbors.And everything will be in COLOR. Of course, the Newsletter will still always be available via print in the Sunshine Library. The primary difference is that - instead of typing the Newletter in this e-mail (and you not being able to see any of the pictures contained in the Newsletter) you can find the document here: www.sunshinecountryclub.com/sepo-newsletter-2019-2020 . You will see that it is available in both WORD and PDF documents. If you have the software to open the WORD document, you will be able to click on any 'links' that are contained in the document. If you can only open the PDF document, you will need to copy and paste 'links' that are contained in the document. Also note that going back to October 2018 all published Newsletters can be found on the Sunshine Web site here: www.sunshinecountryclub.com/sepo-newsletters-overview-1 Hopefully, this change will be acceptable by all of you.

After many years of service to Sunshine Country Club Estates, Lupe retired last week. Lupe has been a familiar and valued part of our community for a very long time, and we are incredibly grateful for all she has done for SEPO and our residents over the years. Those of us who have had the opportunity to work with Lupe know how much knowledge, experience, and dedication she brought to her job. She has helped countless residents, worked through many changes in our community, and has been someone we could depend on day after day. On behalf of the SEPO Board and our entire community, I want to sincerely thank Lupe for her many years of service. We hope retirement brings her plenty of time to relax, enjoy herself, and do all the things she hasn't had enough time for while taking care of the rest of us. Lupe, you will be missed, and we wish you nothing but the very best in this next chapter. At the same time, we are very happy to welcome Cassandra, who will be stepping into Lupe's position. Transitions are always a little bittersweet, but we are excited to have Cassandra joining our SEPO staff in this new role. There will naturally be a learning curve as she gets settled and becomes familiar with the details of serving a community of more than 300 homes, so I hope everyone will join the Board in welcoming her and supporting her as she gets started. Welcome to SEPO, Cassandra! We are glad to have you here and look forward to working with you.
