On the days that Judy Brooks is having her garage sale (see below), Lenore is requesting extra coverage from the NW folks to ride around in your orange vests and keep the bad guys at bay. She thanks you all for doing this for our community. - Lenore Combs (by Beth Parrish, SEPO Communications) Sent 2022-09-27: CORRECTION: Garage Sale - Please note the change to days below.

Also, a note from another resident suggested we re-cover some of the Practice Tee area concerning the "pipes", so there is a second layer of protection from balls coming back at you. We must have pretty strong golfers - maybe they will step up to help me out. I will need some specific detail on what to buy and the measurements and then volunteers to put it up, etc. Thanking all in advance for your swift response. - Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 Director - Storage Lot Sent 2022-09-24: CORRECTION - PLEASE REVIEW: SEPO 'Month at a Glance' Activities Calendar - ***** Please reply to this e-mail address. ***** Although my test e-mail looked fine, there appears to be some issues with attaching the calendar pages to the e-mail. So I have deleted them. Here is the direct link to all six months of the calendar. The following is from the 09-12-22 Board Meeting minutes. ********** Board Secretary, Beth Parrish, has revised the Activity/Meeting Request Process Document HERE slightly (and not the Request Form). The process changed after the March 2022 Board meeting specific to the SEPO Office being the first point of contact for all requests. The Board Secretary is consulted only if Valerie has a question. Beth reminded everyone that if you have activities and meetings coming up that you have not already submitted a request (and received approval for) you need to get those submitted now. Also, some of the previously approved requests are expiring and may need to be resubmitted. If you are unsure if you need to submit something, please contact the office. If you clicked on the "activity-mtg-request" link above you will have seen at the bottom of that page the 'Fun Times' icon. When you click on that icon you will see the SEPO Office calendar for this coming Winter Season (10-01-22 thru 03-31-23) in its new format; ‘month at a glance’ requested by some residents. Look in the top right-hand corner to see which month you are viewing. I need two things from everyone. Resident input concerning the new format. Please verify the accuracy of the calendar events and submit corrections to the SEPO Office. Thanks in advance for helping out with this.

A quick review of virtual signups: There is a flowery lock box in the library. It will have envelopes on it that are stamped so you can fill in your name and submit either cash or a check made out to SCCE Womens Club. A list will be compiled with names of paid residents and as you enter your name will be checked off at the door. There is a limit of 160 tickets and no tickets will be sold at the door.

If you are new to creating a Sunshine Newsletter article, there are four years of examples on the Sunshine Web site HERE . Probably steer clear of the 'covid' timeframe, as those articles were very sparse. If you still need some assistance, look who composed previous articles for the area you are wanting to report about and reach out to them. Hope this helps.

Please return to Lost and Found (in the Library) or to Mark Owen at 4224 N. Minnesota. Lost 3 Days ago... - Mark Owen Sent 2022-09-15: Policies & Procedures: Updates from September 12, 2022 Board Mtg - At the September 12, 2022 Regular Board Meeting, the Board approved two updates to the SEPO Policies & Procedures . A section entitled "Resale Certificates" was added on page 1 to comply with Texas Property Code 207: RESALE CERTIFICATES To comply with Texas Property Code, Sec. 207, any owner selling his residence must provide a resale certificate to the buyer prior to closing. This must be done whether by sale through a realtor, or a private sale between individuals. This will be provided by SEPO not later than ten days following a request for same at a cost of $250. The resale certificate will provide, in part, the following information: Financial condition of the association, any unpaid amounts due the association on the property, any known violations of noncompliance for the property of the rules (Covenants) of the association. The "Property and Yard Maintenance" section, Item 1, was updated concerning the 'attempt' to make an initial phone call: PROPERTY AND YARD MAINTENANCE It is the responsibility of all property owners to see that their property and yard are maintained, mowed, and trimmed AT ALL TIMES. If it becomes necessary for SEPO to care for an owner’s property at any time, a service fee of $50.00 for mowing and $75.00 for weed removal of non-grass yards will be made each time such services are performed. There will be a service fee of $75.00 per incident to pick up fruit that has fallen from your fruit tree onto any Owner’s property or the street. Initially the SEPO Office must attempt to notify the owner via phone call. This will immediately be followed by a written notice from the SEPO Office that references the attempted or actual phone call and states the issue that needs to be addressed. This written notice may be handed to the owner of the premises or sent via e-mail or regular mail, or by posting the notice on or near the front door of the resident’s home at the property location. Owners will be given seven (7) days from the date of said phone call (attempted or completed) and the written notice to bring the premises into compliance before the SEPO services are scheduled. All owners must furnish SEPO office personnel with up-to-date information as to who is responsible for their property during the owner’s absence. Additional details pertaining to these updates will be in the written minutes from this meeting, which are currently in process. As stated in an earlier e-mail the video for that meeting is available now: https://1drv.ms/v/s!ArA0fRIwdohilftpzOo4KPA2D4K2tw?e=vrKghL The updated P&P document is now on the Sunshine Web site HERE and can also be accessed directly from HERE . SEPO Board Sent 2022-09-14: Letter to SEPO residents - First off from Beth Parrish (SEPO Communications Mgr): Please note the below was actually supposed to be sent on Sep 7, but it fell into an email black hole. Thanks for resending it to me Larry. From Larry Keller (SEPO Board Director): update on Texas ave - The front entrance area continues to look fantastic. Lalo, the Garden Club and many other volunteers have made the Texas ave area look better than ever. When you see Lalo be sure to thank him for his dedication to our community. Lalo will be pressure washing the concrete block wall on the south side of Texas ave very soon. The drainage ditch behind Minnesota has been cleaned out from Texas ave to the northern boundary by the storage lots. This was achieved with help from Alan Moore district 5 mgr, Joy Cossins, Caroline Cochran, Lassie Dahlstrom, Randy Davis and our SEPO staff. We have begun to trim some trees along the Minnessota ave tree line to avoid contact with the power lines. The front gate mechanism has had nearly all of the internal components replaced. A new lock was also installed to avoid tampering. We have had success the last few weeks with the gate operating properly. Continued issues with the gate will require we purchase a new opener. Additionally, the front gate cameras are fully operational. Many thanks to Valerie (SEPO Office Mgr) for her help on this issue. Sent 2022-09-14: Sunshine Meetings schedule - As we are rapidly approaching the 2022-2023 Winter season at Sunshine, I wanted to remind and/or let everyone know that the schedule of meetings, that I know of , are posted on the Web site here .

We are now rolling full steam ahead to get back to normal – YAY. Let’s show everyone what’s available again.

Remind the community of what a great place Sunshine is to live.

- Tributes | Sunshine Estates
In Memoriam Tributes 2021 Marian Seelye (September 8, 2021) It is with a sad heart to announce the passing of Marian Seelye, mother of JoAnne Anderson, and past resident of Sunshine. Marian had just come to stay with JoAnne and ultimately make a trip here. Marian laid down for a nap, JoAnne went to check later and she had gone peacefully with the Angels. Marian was special - she was the SCCE Choir Director several years ago for many years and assisted putting on many wonderful shows here, especially at the holidays. She also had her Choir group sing occasionally with the Sunday Night Sunshine Jammers and was a presence in many of Lassey's productions. And she made some great dishes for our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. We will miss you but remember the "Good Old Days". God Bless American and God bless you and your family. Condolences can be sent to JoAnne Anderson (daughter) 22931 185th Street Detroit Lakes, MN 56501 Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 2020 Steve Phillips (May 3, 2020) Sorry for short email earlier, not thinking real clear. If I may share some more... " My husband, Steve, passed away hours ago....Saturday night. He had another pulmonary embolism, he had one about five years ago. He has not felt good for weeks, but the Dr couldnt do a MRI because of covid. (Only emergencies, and his wasnt at the time) I dont know that they would have discovered it if so, but they did last time. I followed the ambulance to the hospital, and was with him about a hour before the Drs told me there was nothing they could do, and he was gone. He passed in the ambulance, but they recovered him, only to lose him in the hospital. The Drs said he had huge blood clot in both lungs and kidney failure. I'm still in shock. (I have asked family not to travel here, as it would be devastating to cause covid virus in anyone) Steve and I were very private people, but we dearly love our family and friends...in Texas and Oklahoma, also our dear friends we have made in Harlingen. Steve was incredibly proud of being the President of the men's golf here in Sunshine Country Club Estates and his three best buddies he golfed with daily. Also, his music making pal Wade, who would attest to what an amazingly gifted musician Steve was. Steve was the smartest person I've ever known and I will cherish our ten years together. We rock and rolled many nights away. His best friends in Dallas enjoyed his musical talents long before I met him, and were like family to him (and me). I dont imagine there will be a service here, with covid virus...but in about a month I will take his ashes/remains to Dallas, hopefully, and celebrate his life with friends and family there. I'm so sorry Steve's son, Jonathan has lost his father, along with Jonathan's wife and four children, and his other family members. Also, my family will miss him dearly. Ten years can make a lifetime of memories, and it did. Please be patient if I dont answer calls or the door too quickly, I am still trying to figure out what life is now, and that will take some time. We all have losses, recovering from them is an individual journey. My # is 214 549 3993 if any questions. Tomorrow seems far away right now. ♡ Irene Phillips Back to Top

S EPO Community E-Mails: October 2022 Sent 2022-10-31: WC: Halloween golf cart trick or treat - Sent 2022-10-30: FOUND: Smart Phone - If you have lost your smart phone, please contact Derek or Janis McFee @ 651-271-8214 to identify and claim. Sent 2022-10-30: lost husky - At 7:35 am this morning - at iowa and missouri.. now at my door, actually. I’ve seen it before. - Margo Crouch Sent 2022-10-30: Policies & Procedures: Updates from Oct 11, 2022 Board Mtg - At the October 11, 2022 Regular Board Meeting, the Board approved one update to the SEPO Policies & Procedures . The reason this update was needed was because the wrong verbiage for the PROPERTY AND YARD MAINTENANCE section, item #1, was inadvertently included in the September 12 Board Meeting Agenda and subsequently approved at that meeting. Beth Parrish became aware of this after the September meeting and asked the Board to approve the correct verbiage on October 11. The correct verbiage is: PROPERTY AND YARD MAINTENANCE It is the responsibility of all property owners to see that their property and yard are maintained, mowed, and trimmed AT ALL TIMES. If it becomes necessary for SEPO to care for an owner’s property at any time, a service fee of $50.00 for mowing and $75.00 for weed removal of non-grass yards will be made each time such services are performed. There will be a service fee of $75.00 per incident to pick up fruit that has fallen from your fruit tree onto any Owner’s property or the street. Initial notification to owner must be attempted via phone call from the SEPO office. Whether communication is completed or not, a written notice will follow on that same date referencing the aforesaid phone call or attempt thereof and the issue that needs to be addressed. This written notice may be handed to the owner of the premises or sent via e-mail or regular mail, or by posting the notice on or near the front door of the resident’s home at the property location. Owners will be given seven (7) days from the date of said phone call and notice to bring the premises into compliance before the SEPO services are scheduled. All owners must furnish SEPO office personnel with up-to-date information as to who is responsible for their property during the owner’s absence. The updated P&P document is now on the Sunshine Web site HERE and can also be accessed directly from this HERE . - SEPO Board Sent 2022-10-30: Arcing Power Pole last night - Dear Sunshine residents - Karen Price and Cathy Chajec deserve an Atta Boy ...... as they spotted an arcing power pole and Marian Young & Rambo (her dog) for helping AEP. Last night was quite exciting. Just as I was about to go to bed, Karen & Cathy (who were out walking) called me about an arcing power pole by Caroline Cochran's on Minnesota. It could have been an arc flaw or other electrical issue. We immediately notified AEP and some close neighbors. Our Fire Department came directly out. They thanked us for the alert. (also knew SCCE was part of CERT) AEP emergency arrived shortly after to assess the problem and their team was assembled. Marian and Rambo were on Neighborhood Watch last night and stayed around to lend assistance if needed. Evidently AEP also had further issues with another pole by Montana & Missouri. They did some work - don't know what. So far, everything looks fixed. -- Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 Sent 2022-10-28: NOTICE of Board Executive Session, Tuesday, Nov 1, 2022 - This NOTICE will be posted in the SEPO Office, on the poolside door to Retzlaff Hall and by the mailboxes this afternoon. - Share Nelson SEPO Board President Sent 2022-10-28: AGENDA for BOARD (Special) Meeting on Tuesday, Nov 1, 2022 @ 1 PM - The agenda for the 1 PM, Nov 1, 2022 SEPO Board (Special) meeting is HERE and also posted on the Web site HERE .

My reply to them is, if I am not sent the information, I generally don’t know about it. I rely on residents to supply it to me. I don’t believe the majority of residents belong to that private group (myself included) and are therefore relying on information sent out via SEPO-sanctioned communications methods. Please remember to send SEPO/Sunshine related information to myself at either sepoenews@gmail.com for email or sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com for the Sunshine Web site, so that the ‘entire’ community knows what’s going on. Thank you. Beth Parrish, SEPO Communications Sent 2022-10-01: POSSIBLE CONFLICTS: Sunshine Activities etc - As some residents are reviewing the Sunshine Activities calendar (and thank you so much for doing that) they are reporting issues - missing events, conflicting events etc. I am going to work on this as my time permits the next few days to attempt to rectify any reported issues. Here's what I know so far: If there are many (around eight (8) or more activities and meetings) in one day, the 'printing process' is cutting off those evening events. Some events are year-round (i.e., water exercises) or assumed to take place every winter season (i.e., euchre) and an Activity/Mtg request form was not submitted for those. I'm not making excuses for either the SEPO Office or myself (as the Web site Admin) - I'm simply stating the facts here. The calendar process that is currently being used was newly created over the summer and was created mainly based on Activity/Mtg Requests submitted since the March 2022 Board Meeting. Therefore, some activities, especially those only active during the winter season for which new requests were not submitted, were inadvertently left off of the new SEPO calendar. And I, being a little bit more familiar with some of those winter activities/mtgs have not had the time to do a day by day, acty/mtg by acty/mtg comparison to the SEPO calendar in order to update the Web site for the winter season. Please be patient as I work with the office on this. And also, please note, in doing a super quick look this morning at just the first week in October, I do see conflicts with regular winter season activities that I know about and aren't on the calendar and activities that were just requested and approved. So it's highly likely some compromising will need to be done concerning some of those activities that were just approved as new. Please keep your eye out for what we discover and what questions residents may need to be providing answers for. Thank you for your patience as these issues/conflicts are worked through. If you see anything in question, please let me or the office know immediately. Beth Parrish SEPO Web site Admin E-Mail: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Back to Top

There will be no ‘shout outs’ from residents who haven’t requested to speak. Vulgarity will not be allowed. The speaker shall not make any derogatory comments about any person(s). The speaker will simply state factually what his/her comments / concerns / questions are.

- Wood Workers | Sunshine Estates
Woodshop If you've never been inside the Woodshop, here's what the excitement is all about and what you're missing. SAWSTOP Table Saws General Info News & Events (Previous Years) Woodshop Events Woodshop Pictures (Various) General Info Location: The woodshop is in the Storage Lot area on the right-hand side as you enter the lot. Details: No fee (most HOAs, RV resorts charge a fee). Shop is open to members year-round. Shop is a 40' by 60' building. Woodworking building holds the latest and some of the best woodworking tools around. The lathes are used often. Members can work with power equipment after attending a Safety and Information class. Officers (for 2025, effective starting Jan 2025): President - Nancy Lyne Vice President - Hal Resides Treasurer - Richard Hulswit Secretary - Cathy Chajec Contacts: Please contact Nancy Lyne with any questions. Monitors: They are all volunteers. There must always be a monitor in the shop for safety reasons. Only monitors have keys to the shop. During winter months, monitors sign up on our calendar to monitor woodshop activities. The SEPO Office has a copy of this calendar. There is usually a monitor who goes to work on projects. As long as a monitor has the shop open, woodworkers who have had the "safety training" are welcome to come in and work OR check out equipment (small items like hand tools, ladders etc.) for a minimum of three days. In fairness to the Monitors, if there is little activity, they may close early, so if you wait until five (5) minutes before closing time, you may be disappointed. If you have a crisis need, you can contact any Monitor to find a time other than the above. Hours: Normal (Winter Seasons) - Monday thru Friday - Woodshop is open for use (as long as a 'monitor' is available) from 9:00 am to noon AND 1 to 4 pm. Saturday and Sunday - It is 'hit or miss'. But a monitor is usually there working on projects. Normal (Summer Seasons) - Open only when a monitor is there. It is kind of a catch 22. If anyone needs in the shop they can always call a monitor. Orientation: Woodshop orientation sessions for new residents/renters or anyone who would like a refresher course are generally held during the Winter seasons by John Chajec (708-280-8940). He notifies the community via SEPO email when these classes are scheduled. Meetings: Woodworker Meetings are held the 2nd Monday of every month beginning October through March. They start at 1 PM and last about one hour or less. Cleanup: Woodshop cleanup is the first Tuesday of every month at 7:30 AM and takes about an hour. Volunteers are most welcome. The Woodworkers sponsor a Spaghetti Dinner every winter for the residents. All proceeds are utilized for equipment, supplies etc. in the Woodshop. ******************** Back to Top Previous Woodshop Info Winter Season: 2025-2026 Sent 2025-12-15: Wood Shop Orientation Class Wednesday December 17th 5 pm - UPCOMING WoodShop Orientation Class Wednesday Dec 17th 5 pm in the wood shop.

Great to see our shop full again A look at what the Woodshop from years passed. SAWSTOP Table Saws Back to Top Woodshop’s SAWSTOP Table Saws Sent 2020-03-10: Wood Shop: SAWSTOP Pics & Info In order to promote our Community Amenities on the Web site, I had asked Suzie Sawyer if she had any pictures of the SAWSOP Table Saws that were puchased for the Wood Shop this season. Sure enough, in these pictures you can see our own Vic Hillman hard at work. The woodworkers can work much more safely now. Suzie told me they shut down in a nano-second when flesh contacts the blade! We have 2 of them. Beth Parrish SEPO Web site Admin (FROM Newsletter: 03-2020) Woodworkers' Club Report - The Woodshop now has two SAWSTOPs (see pictures below) up and functioning; and both saws are paid for!! Our thanks to the SEPO residents/Woodshop Members who supported the fundraising effort to pay for the second saw after the Woodworker’s treasury paid for the first saw. Our thanks to Pat Harvey for leading the SAWSTOP effort and his committee members who put in hundreds of hours transitioning from the older table saws to the SAWSTOPs. Jack Berning, Richard McCorkle, Kelly Kennedy, Steve Valmossoi, Vic Hillman, and Vern Luellen are thanked for helping with the installation of the new saws. Members are finding the new saws easy to use and, of course, safer. Feel free to visit the Woodshop because we’d like to show off the new equipment. Suzie Sawyer, President Back to Top

If you are planning to have some work done around your home, be sure you know who you are hiring to do the work. We have a Mr. Fix It-List on the Sunshine website, which can be very helpful. 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 he was in here yesterday too. And with 2 other Hispanic men. I questioned him and he said he had work (my impression was it was in Encore at Anita's house - but he was parked (on the cement) by the railing passthrough. He also mentioned he had work for Nancy Steel too - with a gesture of his hand. Now, come to find out he is a scammer! A significant story of concern was revealed to the Harlingen Police Dept, and they will be in contact this morning. If you are aware of any other shenanigans - please contact me. Please be on the alert for this wise guy "looking for work". His name is John Joseph (and his mother's name is Mary), so he says. He drives a 2004 GMC white pick-up, License #TX 83B289A, exp 9 Sept 2023, VIN 1GHEC1SVX41105482, Hidalgo County. If you have anything else to add, please call me. Lights on and lock up!

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.

- Access to Kitchen Area | Sunshine Estates
Access to Kitchen Area (March 25, 2023) NEW ACCESS TO KITCHEN AREA New keypads have been installed on the door leading into the kitchen from the outside and on the small supply closet just outside of the kitchen door in Retzlaff Hall. 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. If the freezer remains unlocked, there are cameras in place for security in the hall including the kitchen and storage room which can be reviewed for up to three months, if necessary.

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.

Prior to starting any EXTERIOR improvement, maintenance or structure, submit any required forms and information to the SEPO Office for approval by the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Allow up to 25 days for approval/rejection notification. Plan your project accordingly. You will be notified by the SEPO Office of your approval/rejection status by email or phone.

A new generic ‘project permit’ form has been developed, which does not display any of the owners’ personal information. The SEPO Office has laminated several of these forms with different permit numbers and different street names. After a resident's ACC request has been approved, the office writes the street number and date over the laminate on the Permit form and gives it to the resident. This form is to be posted near the front door of the address on the permit, so it is clearly visible from the street curb during the entire time of the project. When the project is completed, the resident returns the laminated form to the office and the work is logged in the office as completed. The street number and date are wiped from the form, so it can be used again by another resident. Dates when Requests are reviewed by the ACC – The ACC is scheduled to meet monthly on the 1st and 15th of each month, except when the date falls on a Holiday or the Weekend.

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.

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.

It will only be periodically, that is unless you want to do it every week.

This involves a new, and much needed heater for the hot tub. The old one was not reliable so this should solve our problem and give us even heat in the hot tub. Also, there will be a new sand filter for both hot tub and pool. Sand will give us a better filtering system and be more efficient. This will not only give us a better filtering system, but make the chemicals do a better job. Lalo did his usual great job in the installation. Pat him on the back when you see him!!!

It wasn’t happening all the time but was not what we were expecting. They had discussed it with the manufacturer and their techs and thought the SOS/Yelper was picking up sound coming from the gate and causing the gate to open, that’s what the codes in the opener were saying. So they’ve moved the SOS/Yelper further from the gate to see if that will solve that problem. If you see issues with the gate please note the time and date and let me know Thanks, Thomas Perrier Sent 2023-06-12: NEED VALIDATION OR CORRECTION: Sunshine website summer activities - Hi All - As time permits I have been trying to ensure I have accurate info on our website.

This letter is to help remind you, while you are “back home in the northlands" , to consider maintaining this tradition for our 2024 Tournament. We are soliciting your help in continuing to prepare “Gift Baskets” of items found locally in your area during your summer stay. We suggest selecting things that set your home area apart from others. These gift baskets will be awarded as prizes during our Awards Banquet. I am aware of several recipients in the past of these unique gift basket prizes, who have indicated how blessed they were to receive these baskets, and they genuinely appreciated Sunshine Residents’ generosity. In our 2023 Awards Banquet, one of the people who received a Gift Basket in the prior year donated a beautiful quilt made by his wife to pay it forward. For example, I most recently lived in Lafayette, Louisiana. So, I will put together a basket of “Cajun items”; seasoning, rice, Tabasco /hot sauces, Beignet mix, cookbooks, and locally brewed beer/wine for our gift basket. Just think of items your area is famous for and start accumulating them to bring back with you. We want the baskets in the $30-$50 value range. - -By preparing the baskets we are also providing a showcase for various products that are in North America where: Sunshine Estate residents live during the summer time. I hope to see everyone in the Valley in a few months.

She is following all procedures required. HOWEVER, because she is feeling well enough, and because she feels she needs to tackle certain chores in the office (such as payroll, etc.) she plans to come to the office to work at later hours. She will wipe everything down as she has been trained when she leaves but it is best if our residents avoid the office area. If you need to make a payment, it can wait. And yes, she has been vaccinated. Share Nelson President, SEPO Board Sent 2023-06-03: Buying Rocks to paint at Southern Stone, Tuesday.
