Dan Danks and Bill Peterson are working with me on this committee. I know this e-mail is lengthy. However, I hope it gives everyone a better idea of our current situation. Please read through to the end and help us out, if at all possible. To refresh everyone on how this committee works here is an excerpt from the Sunshine Country Club Estates (SCCE) By-Laws (located on the Web site HERE ) . The following is from the - BYLAWS OF SUNSHINE ESTATES PROPERTY OWNERS, INC. A PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION A NON-PROFIT CORPORATION 1957 West Michigan Drive Harlingen, TX 78550 ARTICLE VI-COMMITTEES Nominations and Ballots 6.01 The Board of Directors shall, at least sixty (60) days before the election, appoint a Nominating Committee of three (3) to five (5) members to submit a slate of nominees for Directors to be placed on a ballot for hand delivery or mailing to members. The nominating committee shall post its selection of Nominees at least ten (10) days prior to the January Meeting of Residents and Directors. The Committee shall submit its nominations to the members at the January meeting of Residents and Directors and nominations from the floor will be accepted. The Board shall thereupon validate the status of members, as defined under Article II herein, and cause the committee report to be posted on the Club House bulletin board for a ten (10) day period. At or about noon of the tenth day the report will be removed from the bulletin board. A paper ballot shall be prepared, under the direction of the Board of Directors, to include the nominations of Directors and other items authorized to appear on the ballot. See this Web page ongoing for additional information and next steps. To update you on our progress in getting possible Board nominees, our committee has been speaking to many residents about the upcoming ‘four’ positions that will be available on the Board. While attempting to recruit potential candidates, the responses have been less than favorable to take on this position/duty, at least in the number of residents I have personally spoken to. I have gotten some good assistance and advise from residents who have lived here in Sunshine CCE for many years, who have either been previous Board members or have run for the Board in the past. The comments and advice I have received have been enlightening and have helped me better understand how the Board’s (volunteer positions) can be somewhat demanding and time consuming for many of them wanting or accepting to take the time they feel is required. This is something I had expected when I was asked to head-up the committee. I graciously accepted the challenge and recruited a couple other residents to assist me with the search for (committed and reliable) residents who: Would have some true and sincere interest in accepting a nomination. Are willing to work together as a Team Player with the other Board Members. Would put forth their best efforts to help and keep this fantastic community that we are all partnered with (as residents). Would continue making this Development, in all aspects, the same beautiful and appealing community we all like and enjoy. Would be Proud to be a part of the highly successful environment it is today. A VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE OF THIS E-MAIL FOLLOWS. PLEASE READ COMPLETELY. I and the rest of the committee are asking ALL RESIDENTS if any of you have any interest at all in partaking in becoming a Board Member? I would like to make it a Private and Confidential sit-down/meet in person with me and the other committee members to discuss and answer each of your questions, concerns and responsibilities of the Position of becoming a Board Member. Hopefully, this may provide a more comfortable atmosphere for both those of you who have resided in Sunshine for some time, as well as the newer residents. Confidentiality, I believe, is the key ingredient so that no one will know who the nominees are until it is deemed necessary to announce them prior to election voting. An isolated/private location will be determined at a later date. I am also willing to sit down with any resident (in Private) to listen to everyone’s advice and/or opinions to HELP make this a successful process. Thank you for your assistance in helping our committee finalize the best possible Candidates for Sunshine Country Club Estates!

BTW - our patriotic wall (see the Sunshine Website HERE has a book of photos of our past Veterans. And do you know you are invited to submit a photo to Jim Tennant regarding your Military Service. We would be proud to have past and present residents on display. Check it out! Thanks to Pam and her help as the Potluck was spectacular as always with a grand selection of food to eat. The decorations were nicely done and provided a patriotic experience. And a round of applause for our friends who opened the program, sang and signed our National Anthem, gave the Invocation, presented our past Heroes with a Veterans Wreath, and whose few words recalled the history and the sacrifices with gratitude and reflection on this special Day of Remembrance. We are so lucky to live here.

Neighborhood Watch & CERT Info Oct 20 22 thru Sep 2025 Sent 2024-07-31: Neighborhood Watch Reminder - Dear Friends, I wish to thank Mary Grande and all of you for doing the NW detail. Mary shares the monthly calendar. Wish we had a few more volunteers - It's not fair that only a handful of residents are supporting this. Many homes are empty, I get that - but the more the merrier for the Bad Guys to take a chance. Having a NW go around with a blinking lite messes up the rationale for the Bad Guys - they don't know if we are here or not. If they knew how many homes were left - don't you think they would be planning a move????? Please think about doing a nite or so - you will be fully oriented. Sincere THANKS! Next Tuesday 6 August 6pm - 9pm (or so) The city of Harlingen will be holding its annual National Night Out Find us at 350 Fair Park Ave. Harlingen - at Lon C Hill Park --across diagonally from the Police Department. I will be assigned a spot for NW and have a hand-out.! WE (SCCE) will have a booth there to advertise to the city what a great National Night Out we have here and how much our residents appreciate it and how much "Bad Guys' come visiting much less - and it is all a thanks to you !. Please show up - bring your easy chair and sit a bit. There will be lots of refreshments so don't make dinner! We hope many other subdivisions and homes come looking for answers to their questions about Neighborhood Watch. I expect to have a give-away trifold brochure on NW. At the moment, it is under review by our HPD Friends (et al). (Ofr. Benny) HPD Imagine how much this program would help in their community!!!!!. Many residents are not able to brag about their NW but instead they cry when the Bad Guys visit their premises and "borrow their stuff". " The local Police and many other similar groups will be there. Be there or Be square. Honestly, hope to see you there - even for a bit of time! I will place a signup sheet in the SEPO Library. There will be some of our new CPA graduates present - hope you get to meet them and possibly consider taking this class. (Citizens Police Academy) Upon graduation you then can join our CPA Alumni. y Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 Neighborhood Watch Coordinator for SCCE Citizens Police Academy Alumni Sent 2024-02-19: NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH REMINDER - Don’t forget to attend the Neighborhood Watch Meeting today at 3:00 pm. in Retzlaff Hall.

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.

SUNSHINE HEROES Wall of Honor (Started Jan 8, 2020) *************** Sent 2020-11-14: Sunshine Heroes Wall of Honor - Project Background - It was decided here at Sunshine that we would recognize our neighbors, not for a single act of heroism but their heroic service. We wanted to recognize the people from our community who made a commitment to give part of their lives for the benefit of others. This is what the SUNSHINE HEROES Wall of Honor represents. It is our way to recognize them and say thank you for your service. Last Spring in Retzlaff Hall, we unveiled our Sunshine Heroes Wall of Honor complete with their engraved names on an individual metal plate. There is also a Memory Book of photos of our heroes. This touching monument serves as a reminder that many of our residents sacrificed their lives for the freedom we enjoy today. (See picture below.) You may support this wall by completing an application and some brief information (form available at SEPO Office). We would like a photo in uniform. Jim Tennant is available for questions 616 866 9960. What is a Veteran? - whether retired, discharged, active duty or reserve – is someone who at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to ”The United States of America” for an amount up to and including his or her life. (Author unknown) What Is A Hero? - Dictionary.com defines a hero as a person noted for courageous acts or nobility of character. A true hero is someone who gives of themselves for the benefit of others, sometimes at great personal risk. There are many in our community who have given parts of their lives in the service of our country regardless of the risk. There are those who have chosen a career of community service – Law enforcement, First Responders and Fire Fighters are examples. All these people have given freely of themselves for the benefit of others. These are a few examples of what we can all recognize as heroes, but we do not usually honor them for their service. If you save a person from a car accident or give CPR to someone you would be recognized for heroism. The person who donates blood to help others is a hero. A person who may donate an organ or bone marrow is a hero. Are these very special people any more heroic then the others who served us? Jim Tennant Sent 2020-03-21: SUNSHINE HEROES - As another winter season comes to a close, I just want to give you all a reminder about the SUNSHINE HEROES wall. 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. Jim Tennant 4161 N Missouri (616)866-9960 Email: jimbuck1050@yahoo.com Sent 2020-02-20: SUNSHINE HEROES UPDATE - This is a final call for this season for our residents who served in the armed forces of all nations and the men and women in our community who served as Police Officers, Fire Fighters and EMT/First Responders. The service wall plans are moving along. The wall display is to recognize residents living and deceased where the surviving spouse or other relation resides within the estates. 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. If residents want their picture or their spouse’s picture included on the wall they will need to fill out an application form. These forms are available in the office. Check with Valerie to get one, or see me. My information is below. She also has pledge forms available if you need one. The picture you provide for use will be copied and returned, please write on the application form so that I can return your picture. 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. Thank you for your pledges and donations towards this project and for those still to come in.

SEPO Board Election Committee For 2026 SEPO Board Election Sunshine Estates Property Owners, Inc., (SEPO) governs Sunshine Country Club Estates (SCCE). (The following information is presented in reverse chronological order.) Election Committee Activity for 2026 Election Election Committee Process Guide Back to Board Nominating & Election Committees Index ELECTION COMMITTEE ACTIVITY FOR 2026 ELECTION Announcements etc. pertaining to the 2026 "Election Committee" Activities are below. Newsletter: 2026-03, Election Committee Chair - SEPO 2026 Election Committee & Results: I want to personally congratulate the Newly Elected 2026 SEPO Board members: Phillip Lay, Bill Petersen (with an E!) and Tracy Wagner. Also, congratulations to the Treasurer Assistant, Jeanne Boardman. She is a new resident and is already on the volunteer trail. And many thanks to those who are retiring from the 2025 Board: Randy Davis and Scott Kronshage. You served our community well. I know from personal experience being on the SEPO Board is not an easy ‘volunteer’ job, but it can be extremely rewarding. I want to thank the many resident volunteers who assisted me on the 2026 SEPO Election Committee. That work could not have been accomplished without you. We did come away with lessons learned again this year, which I will be working with the 2027 Election Committee chairperson to incorporate into the Election Committee Process Guide. That’s right, three years is enough for me as chairperson, although I’ve enjoyed it and have learned lots. And finally, here are three ‘facts’ resulting from the 2026 election: There were three open Board positions and three owners who volunteered to run. Guess what, they all had at least one vote, so they were all elected to your 2026 SEPO Board. Congratulations again. (See the names above.) We had one proposed Covenants change this year. You can view it HERE . It was a super important vote. Hence, the campaign by lots of folks to get it ‘approved’. However, as you can see from the chart on the following page, it did not get approved. I am not positive, but I’m thinking you might see this ballot proposal again in the future. Finally, I thought it was important to point out, although the ballot submissions were slightly higher than I have seen in the previous two years, we still had 58 owners who did not bother to submit a ballot, which is an automatic NO vote. As our retiring Board president stated many times in the last couple of months. If you vote – and vote no – that is your choice. But if you do not bother to vote at all – why not? It has been my pleasure again this year to support this great community by chairing this committee. Thx to everyone for supporting me. If anyone has any 2026 election questions/comments feel free to contact me anytime. - Beth Parrish, 2026 Election Committee Chairperson Sent 2026-02-17: Poolside doors to the hall closed temporarily - For those attending one/some/all of the meetings today, please be advised that the Hall double doors by the pool are temporarily closed due to roof construction.

Thanks to everyone who has already voted. For the rest, please vote prior to 1 PM on Tuesday, February 17 If you have voted but DID NOT SIGN the 'Attendance Proxy' envelope, you need to come to Retzlaff Hall between 12:15 & 1 PM next Tuesday to 'sign in to the meeting' . We need a quorum (154) to count votes and hold the ANNUAL meeting @ 3 PM. Look for your Street Sign behind the card tables and Election Committee members will get you singed in. Myself and other committee members will be counting signed Attendance Proxy envelopes from 11:30 AM to 1 PM. Please, if at all possible, don't wait until the last minute to vote. I need to report if we have a quorum at the 1 PM meeting. As always, if you have any questions about the voting process, the ballots themselves or anything else, please contact a member of your Board or myself. Thanks everyone for taking an interest in the future of this great community by voting in this all important election. - Beth Parrish 2026 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2026sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2026-02-15: IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED: ILLEGAL BALLOT FOUND ON FLOOR OF OFFICE JUST NOW - I was in the office just now and found a #10 envelope with the 'handwritten' word Ballot across the front of it lying on the floor. That envelope is not submitted according to voting instructions and if not corrected prior to 1 PM this Tuesday (I can assist you with doing that) it is considered a 'NOT IN FAVOR' vote for the ballot(s) that appear to be inside this envelope. Your ballot(s) must be submitted inside of the #9 white envelope that has the word BALLOT typed on the front of it. Then the BALLOT envelope must be placed inside the #10 'Attendance Proxy ' envelope and sealed. Both of these envelopes were included in your voting packet. Would the person who left that on the Office floor over this weekend please call me immediately so I can work with you to get your vote submitted correctly, in order for it to be counted as you had originally intended. Again - right now it will be counted as a 'not in favor' vote along with 'no votes' for any of the Board Candidates. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. - Beth Parrish 2026 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2026sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2026-02-06: 2026 Election Voting - Hi All - It's been a while since the 2026 Election packets were distributed to homeowners, so I thought I'd pop back in to all of your lives with a reminder about voting. Thanks to everyone who has already voted. For the rest, please deposit your ballot(s) into the locked Ballot Box that sits in front of the SEPO Office weekdays from 8 AM to 4 PM prior to 1 PM on Tuesday, February 17 which is the day of the Annual Shareholders Meeting when your votes (PLEASE VOTE) are counted. This is my third year as SEPO Election Committee Chairperson. I know in the past two years some of you have waited to vote until just a few minutes before (or even at) this 1 PM deadline. If at all possible this year, please submit your ballot(s) earlier than the absolute deadline (preferably prior to noon on Sunday, February 15 ), in order to make the lives of the Election Committee easier when counting 'attendance proxy signatures'. Who knows, you may be working on this committee in future years and absolutely appreciate this early voting request. As always, if you have any questions about the voting process, the ballots themselves or anything else, please contact a member of your Board or myself. Thanks everyone for taking an interest in the future of this great community by voting in this all important election. Beth Parrish 2026 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2026sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Newsletter 2026-02: SEPO Board President - As we move through this time of year, I would like to share a few important reminders, beginning with our upcoming HOA vote. Reminder to Vote Voting is one of the most direct ways you can participate in how our community is governed. The decisions made through this process affect our shared spaces, property values, and the overall quality of life in our neighborhood. Please take a few minutes to review the voting materials that have been provided and be sure to submit your ballot by the 2/17/26 Deadline . Every vote helps ensure decisions reflect the voice of our community. - Randy Davis, SEPO Board President Newsletter 2026-02: Election Committee Chair - SEPO 2026 Election Committee First off, I want to thank all the Election Committee members who have been very busy since the January Newsletter was published. We stuffed, sealed and sorted the Ballot Packets containing the Ballots, along with the two different envelopes you need to submit your vote (BALLOT and Attendance Proxy envelopes). The packets also contained the voting instructions. Here’s what we ended up with concerning these Ballot packets: 2026-01-10: Picked up by Homeowners in Retzlaff Hall = 123 2026-01-11: Delivered to Homeowners’ Houses = 73 2026-01-13: Picked up by Homeowners in Retzlaff Hall = 19 2026-01-13: Delivered to Homeowners’ Houses = 14 2026-01-14: Stamped envelopes that needed to be mailed. 2026-01-15: Mailed to Away Addresses = 26 2026-01-15: Mailed to Sunshine Addresses = 38 2026-01-15: One “Away” Address home sold to a current resident. It was already stamped so I changed the label and hand-delivered it to the resident at his new ‘second’ Sunshine address = 1 2026-01-15: Held for Pickup for homeowners who were on their way back to Sunshine = 12 For a total of 306 Packets. I am currently working on preparing the election ‘tally’ sheets. One set is for counting ‘attendance proxies’ and meeting ‘sign-ins’ to determine if we have a quorum to continue the Tuesday, February 17 Annual Shareholders Meeting . The other set is for tallying the votes on each of the two ballots (if we have a quorum). The locked ballot box is outside of the SEPO Office on weekdays during office hours. Please deposit your ballot(s) in this box prior to 1 PM on Tuesday, February 17 , which is the day of the Annual Shareholders Meeting when your votes (PLEASE VOTE) are counted. I’m sure most of you have heard how ‘very important’ it is that everyone votes in SEPO elections, especially this year. The proposed Covenants change in 2026 will determine if this community can start to move forward or remain at a standstill . If you need a refresher on SEPO Election details, you can find it on the website HERE . Now get out there and vote (if you haven’t already)!!! Thank you so very much. - Beth Parrish, SEPO 2026 Election Committee Chairperson Sent 2026-01-15: Elec Comm: Status of Ballot Packets - I wanted to get some ‘preliminary final’ totals out to everyone today. Some shuffling of MAIL TO SUNSHINE & MAIL AWAY and HAND DELIVERY OF ORIGINAL MAIL AWAY occurred this morning before Board member Tom Perrier and myself went to the Post Office, so a couple of the totals will shift. Once I have the ‘final final’ totals I’ll let everyone know. As of Wednesday, Jan 14, 2026 at 5 PM here’s what we ended up with: 2026-01-10: Picked up = 123 2026-01-11: Delivered to Home = 73 2026-01-13: Picked up = 19 2026-01-13: Delivered to Home = 14 2026-01-15: Mail to Away Addr = 27 2026-01-15: Mail to Sunshine Addr = 38 2026-01-15: Hold for Pickup in the next few days = 12 For a total of 306 Packets. The locked Ballot Box will be in front of the SEPO Office during office hours. The voting deadline is Feb 17, 2026 by 1 PM at the very latest. Please contact either myself or a Board Member if you have any questions at all about the voting process and/or the ballots you are voting on. Beth Parrish 2026 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2026sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2026-01-13: SEPO Elec 2026: Again - We are in the hall until 1PM - The Election Committee is set up in the hall again today until 1 PM so you can come pick up your Ballot. BE SURE TO BRING YOUR ID WITH YOU. See you soon in the HALL. - Beth Parrish 2026 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2026sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2026-01-12: 2026 Election: Ballot Packet Status & Next Steps - Hi All - We are well on our way to getting the Ballot Packets into your hands. These totals aren't exact because some things have changed this morning. But they are close enough for right now for you to get the gist of where we are. We had about 43% of the community come to the Hall on Saturday to pickup their ballots , even though it was windy and cold. Thank you soooo much. And yesterday, on a very chilly day of hand-delivery to homes (by both Election Committee and Board members - Thank you all), we brought that total up to 66% . If every one of this 66%, either sign the 'attendance proxy' on the back of the envelope that goes into the Ballot Box and/or sign in at the Hall before 1 PM on Feb 17 for the Annual Meeting, we would have a quorum SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO COUNT THE VOTES . We will have ONE MORE pickup day in the Hall tomorrow, Tuesday Jan 13 from 11 am to 1 PM . Due to all of the activities taking place this week, we will be sharing the hall with a Private Event before noon and the Painting Club after noon. So please be respectful of those groups when entering the hall. BE SURE TO BRING YOUR ID WITH YOU. On Tuesday, if you don't see the Ballot Box in front of the SEPO Office, it is in the Hall. So you can sit down, ask a Board member any questions you may have and vote right then and there. At all other times the Ballot Box will be in front of the SEPO Office during weekdays when the Office is open. I know this is getting lengthy, but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE read the "Voting Instructions" sheet in your packet VERY CAREFULLY concerning what goes in which envelope. Remember - If your sealed BALLOT envelope isn't placed inside of the sealed 'voting attendance' envelope, that ballot cannot be counted and is, therefore, a NO VOTE . Please call a Board member or myself with ANY questions at all. Thank you so much for participating in this very important SEPO Election process.

We also have "I VOTED" stickers, cookies (free) and Fat Boy sandwiches for $2. BE SURE TO BRING YOUR ID WITH YOU. See you soon in the HALL. Beth Parrish 2026 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2026sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2026-01-08: SEPO Elec 2026: Election Packet Pickup - See below for details concerning SEPO Election Ballot Packet pickup. The Election Committee has labelled and stuffed the election ballot packets and they are ready for distribution. I want to say upfront: If you are doing business with Valerie at her office window, and you see the ballot packets on the push cart behind her, do not ask her if you can have your ballot. You cannot. Below is the formal process for getting them to you. Thank you. So here goes. I know the weather is turning against us for a few days, but please don't let that keep you from picking up your ballots. We're doing the pickup in the hall this year. Several Board members will be in attendance to answer any questions you may have. When you enter the hall, there will be several tables along one of the walls. Look for the 8.5/11 signs (either taped to the front of the tables or taped on the walls) that display each Sunshine Street Name . Go to the table of the street you live on. Members of the Election Committee will be at these tables ready and waiting to hand you your ballot. BE SURE TO BRING YOUR ID WITH YOU. You will be required to show your ID and sign for your packet. An election committee member will sign after your signature as a witness. If you do not have your ID with you, you cannot pick up your packet. The locked Ballot Box will be in the Hall this year during pickup times. At all other times it will be in front of the SEPO Office. NOTE: The plan is to lock it in the office daily when the office closes, as has been done in the past. I, Election Committee Chair Beth Parrish, am the only one who has the key to the Ballot Box. And, oh boy, I'm hearing there may be refreshments available for everyone. Sounds good to me. Not sure what else I can say right now except see you when you come to pick up your packet. Beth Parrish 2026 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2026sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2026-01-06: Election Stuffing and Delivery Schedule - Hi All - Some of you heard this schedule yesterday at the "Residents & Directors" meeting, but I wanted to get it out to everyone in print. The Election Committee will start working tomorrow and continue on and off through Jan 15, when any ballot packets not picked up or delivered to your home will be taken to USPS to be mailed. And while I'm on the topic of home-delivery, if you know you want/need your packet delivered to your home, contact me and I will arrange to get that done for you.

This is your opportunity to help shape the future of our community by voting for board members who represent your interests. Your voice matters, and strong community involvement ensures we continue to thrive together. There will also be a ballot item regarding changes to our Covenant voting process. Please take the time to review, ask questions if anything needs clarification, and make sure your vote is submitted before the deadline. We will provide reminders and instructions throughout the next few weeks to help keep the process easy and accessible for everyone. Your participation is essential! Newsletter 2026-01: Election Committee Chair - SEPO 2026 Election Committee ***** This gets somewhat lengthy, but please take the time to read it. ***** The Election Committee is shaping up nicely. It’s almost time to start printing everything for Ballot packet distribution (around January 11-13) . The Annual meeting when your votes (PLEASE VOTE) are counted is on Tuesday, February 17 . The Women’s Club is having a Pop-Up Lunch in Retzlaff Hall, served between Noon and 1:00pm, on Monday, January 5th , right before the ‘all important’ “Residents & Directors” Meeting , which begins at 1:00pm. Lunch cost is $5, per person . Please come for lunch and stay for the meeting to greet the Board candidates and ask them questions. The proposed Covenants change will also be discussed. There will not be a separate “Meet & Greet” this year. (See “Pop-Up” flyer, below.) I’m sure most of you have heard how ‘very important’ it is that everyone votes in SEPO elections, especially this year. The proposed Covenants change in 2026 will determine if this community can start to move forward or remain at a standstill. Finally, I know most of you feel overwhelmed with all the SEPO emails you receive. (I can just see you nodding your head ‘yes’.) But I can’t stress enough how important it is for the entire community to open and read all SEPO emails pertaining to the upcoming SEPO election. The Nominating and Election Committees are working hard for you and the election emails help to ensure everyone understands the process and requirements for this election. Thank you so very much. Now get out there and vote next month!!! - Beth Parrish, SEPO 2026 Election Committee Chairperson Sent 2025-12-21: 2026 SEPO Election: ACTION REQUIRED by Noon, Tues, Dec 23 - Sunshine vs Away Address for Ballot Packet Mailing - Thx to those of you (right around 100 of 304) who have replied with the data we needed. I do understand lots of you simply want your Ballot packets mailed to Sunshine and I had said no reply required. So no problem there. However, I know quite a few of you aren't living here in your Sunshine home and won't be here next year either when the packets get mailed and voting is in full swing. In order to give, in particular, LLCs and those renting their homes a little more time to reply, I'm granting an extension for replies until noon on Tuesday, Dec 23 , AT THE LATEST . I need to get the address to send to info to the office to print labels this week. So, if you haven't replied by the extension deadline, the Ballot packet will be mailed to your Sunshine address. Again - Please simply hit 'reply' to this email with your mailing info and it will automatically go to the committee member who is tallying your replies. Beth Parrish, 2026 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 314-960-6710 From Facebook by Beth Parrish: 2025-12-17 - As the 2026 Election Committee chairperson, I just wanted to give a 'gentle' reminder that the committee needs to know where DEED OWNERS want their ballot packets mailed - to Sunshine or AWAY address. If you need a refresher concerning the Jan 15 SEPO email, it is posted HERE . Please don't reply on Facebook. Jeanette Makowiec is tallying your replies to that SEPO Email. Thx so much. Sent 2025-12-15: How to Reply: 2026 SEPO Election: ACTION REQUIRED - Sunshine vs Away Address for Ballot Packet Mailing - Thx you so much to all of you who have already replied with your information. 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. NOTE: The spreadsheet that was attached to this email can be found HERE . - Beth Parrish 2026 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2026sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2025-12-09: Preparing for "All Things" 2026 SEPO Election - I know - You are probably thinking - It's crazy to be talking about the 2026 SEPO Election already. But - oh contrar - it is not too soon at all. The chairperson's for both the 2026 Nominating Committee (Patricia Lay) and the Election Committee (me - Beth Parrish) were approved by the board at yesterday's (Dec 8) Board Meeting. We have already begun working on our tasks. As your Sunshine website Mgr, as in the past, I have added web pages to display election info ongoing. If you think you might have missed any election correspondence over the next couple of months, I will be placing it on these pages as well. You can contact me (Beth) with website issues/questions.

I have had the website Manager (OH – that’s me) create a page for the Election Committee HERE . Very soon I will be working on some of the preliminary tasks. And, of course, that means I will be needing volunteers to work with me on the committee. The bulk of the work is in January and on Election Day on February 17. Several of you have helped in the past and I would love to work with you again. This is a great way to learn the ‘behind the scenes’ tasks of actually creating and distributing those infamous ballots. And if anyone wants to ‘shadow’ me, in anticipation of possibly being the chairperson next year, I would love that.

S EPO Community Emails: October 2025 Sent 2025-10-30: Upcoming Board Elections - This is just a heads-up that in February we will need to elect three new SEPO Board members. To help with this process, we’re forming a Nominating Committee. If you’d like to help identify potential candidates to represent our community—or if you’re interested in running yourself—please contact me or Gay Paxton. I’d love to have the committee, including a committee chair, formed soon. Beth Parrish has great information for the committee to use, so you’re not starting from scratch. As a reminder for those considering running: you are elected to the board, and then the board collectively decides each member’s area of responsibility. Each term lasts two years, with the option to run again after your term ends. (I’ve reached my term limit and cannot run again.) Thank you in advance for considering this opportunity to help our community. - Randy Davis, SEPO Board President Sent 2025-10-29: SEPO Covenants: Updated/Approved at Feb 10, 2025 Board Mtg (Reg) An update concerning Fences was discussed and approved to be made to the SEPO Covenants at the Feb 10, 2025 Board Mtg (Reg).

After 33 advisory letters went out last week, one of our board members reminded me that we also needed to call noncompliant property owners, per our Rules. I had initially decided not to make those calls in order to avoid taking time away from Valerie’s other duties. However, on Wednesday, October 29, we will review all properties that received advisory letters to see if they are now in compliance. If not, we’ll make follow-up phone calls and send a second seven-day notice. The first letter will be considered a friendly reminder. If compliance issues continue after the second notice, SEPO will handle the matter according to our community procedures. As your SEPO Board President, I take full responsibility for the weeds having gotten out of control in our community. Please know that I’m committed to resolving this — when you see me out on a walk, I’ll be on “weed patrol." If you notice any problem areas, please let Valerie know so we can address them promptly. Thank you all for your understanding and cooperation.

I believe I was very optimistic to say that it would be open on Monday the small amount of rain that we got today along with the water back draining into the hot tub in the pool has been detrimental to our timeframe as we need to have dry surface for the paint and product to adhere to still have tiling and tuckpointing to do around the pool and painting to do inside the pavilion the heater that was supplied to us for the hot tub was incorrect, and a commercial unit will be delivered either Wednesday or Thursday for the hot tub so timeframe wise moving forward hopefully planning on the pool to be open Tuesday or Wednesday. I will update when it is open the hot tub to be open Thursday Friday I will update sorry about the inconvenience but during the short timeframe, we can all enjoy everything being new and sparkly moving forward. 11:42 AM We have purchased a new drainage system to go around the outside of the pool and in between the pool and the hot tub. It is an obvious need of replacement, a majority of this drainage product has broken and separated from itself, adding to the ground water that we are having to deal with. This is also part of us redoing the pool for a long-term solution. Thank you for your patience.

Media System Use Guidelines - Retzlaff Hall (Revised January 26, 2020) If you are going to use Retzlaff Hall for an event, it must be reserved ahead of time through the SEPO Office Manager so as to avoid event conflicts. Any event utilizing the Retzlaff Media System must be open to the community to attend. No personal or private party use allowed. Information about events must be: Sent to the community via SEPO E-News ( sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com ). Posted on the Web site HERE . If you wish to do so, posted in the Library/Lounge. The Media system consists of: 2 TVs A DVD player Surround Sound (a sound bar and a floor speaker) An antenna for local TV stations Remotes: The two TVs run off the same remote. Sound (via the sound bar) has its own remote. The DVD player has its own remote. You need to make sure you are close enough to the piece of equipment you are wanting to turn on or off. The remotes will be on the shelf along with the Sound Bar. They will be stored there, but if they are abused, we will look at a "sign-out system" for future users. To help you get acquainted with the system, a very simple guide has been created and is posted in Retzlaff Hall by the Media System and can be found on the Web site HERE . The Media committee members (Deb Robins, Roy Robins and Wade Prater) have also volunteered to go over it with any resident if needed. There should be no need for the equipment manuals.

Or if you can/prefer you can print the form and take it to the Office. As previously stated in one or more Board meetings last year, gathering this Age information is 'Required for HUD exemption of 55+ communities'. The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination of various things, including age. In 1995 there was an amendment to a section of this Act allowing exemptions for communities that are age 55+. However, we need documentation that shows the number and percentage of people living here who are 55+. We have started collecting age information during 'New Homeowners’ Orientation, but still lack this data from around 100 owners (at last count). By collecting this data from all Homeowners, if we are challenged by the Federal government, we have the information. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us gather this required information.

I, and a couple other residents, help out when we can. However, I’m pretty much swamped and don’t feel I can continue this on an ongoing basis. Plus, there are some things I'm not much help with. Is there anyone who would be willing to volunteer to help out? If you want to help out, you can reply to sepoenews@gmail.com and I will also be putting a signup sheet in the Library Thu morning. We could probably use 2-3 or more volunteers for assisting with apple versus android, computers, pads, phones and hardware versus software. A few years ago, there was a Computer Club that met every week where you could go to talk about your issues, and hopefully get help with a fix, concerning technology. That might be something someone would be interested in starting up again. Please consider helping out with any or all of the above.

I definitely want to ensure everyone - it was a 'technical' error. The Google Meet session said it was recording and I verified to Tony just prior to the meeting that I thought it was as well. You will hear that on the recording I'm linking to below. However, the meeting did not get recorded. Normally Tony gets an e-mail from Google within 2-5 hrs after the meeting stating the video is available for downloading. This time - no e-mail - no video. In order for me to be accurate and thorough (or as some may interpret as lengthy - LOL) I also start my tape recorder at the beginning of all of our meetings. In order to be totally transparent with the community, which I guess you could call this Board's motto, I have uploaded my tape recording to the Web site for anyone who wishes to listen to the meeting. Please remember, this recorder is lying beside my laptop, and I also shuffle through lots of paper during a meeting, so you will hear those noises as well. I have listened to the entire tape, and you will definitely be able to hear what transpired during the meeting. It is a ".mp3" file and is available: from the Residents Meetings Web site page or directly from this link . As I have stated previously, a recap of all Speaker Requests (which there were five of them during the Residents meeting on Dec 13) will also be recorded into the Board meeting minutes from Dec 14, which I will be sending to the community next week. Please call me with any issue/questions.

At this meeting we did have five Speaker Requests. As per process, these will be documented as part of the minutes from the Dec 14, 2021 Regular Board Meeting.

Activities: Special (2026-2027 Winter Season) Additional Details Resident Photos (2026-2027) *************** UPCOMING (2026/2027) Resident Photos Newsletter 2026-03: Resident Picture Directory - Back in November when I was filling in for Valerie during her vacation, a representative from Universal Church Directories stopped in to talk about creating a photo directory for our community. I took all the information, thinking that this would be a wonderful thing to do during our 2026-2027 season (our last directory was done in 2020-2021). I presented this project to the SEPO board at the February 9th board meeting, and it was approved as a SEPO sponsored event. At the Women’s Club meeting on February 20th, I talked about this project hoping to get a committee started. A huge thank you to Judy Stone and Jill Ventrello for chairing this project. Here is a summary of the details we know now: Dates of photo sessions: several days in both December 2026 & January 2027 (exact dates TBD). Every household photographed by Universal will receive a FREE 8 X 10 portrait and directory booklet. Universal will provide a professional studio right here in our community. If you have pets, you are allowed to include them in your photo(s). Bring props that express you and your personality such as instruments, sports equipment and hobby items. The photo you pick for the directory booklet will also be posted on our community website under the secure resident section. This photo directory project is open to homeowners and renters – we hope all of you will participate in getting your photo taken. Stay tuned for more details to be announced in future newsletters, emails, and Facebook postings. - Tracy Wagner, SEPO Treasurer

Please contact me with any questions! - Cyndi Skidmore SEPO Newsletter Editor Email: seponewsletter@gmail.com Sent 2025-09-21: Well update - Update for well 9.18.25 Last update of 8.20 I said we were going to be working the well by running the pump continuously for several days to see if the water quality improved. After a week of pumping, the water dropped down in saltiness but leveled out still too high for our use. We have since found a company that uses a type of ground penetrating sonar to find water, and can differentiate between fresh and saline. It can also measure quantity. The plan is to have them start the soundings in the area around the current well, around the end of the September early October. This is relatively new technology for finding fresh water, that has been developed from older technology that locates oil reserves. The intent is to try and locate fresh/less salty water in the area of the current well, to utilize the infrastructure that is already in place.

I had him check the Yelper and that also was not functioning. It's working now! The flashing red light at the gate is not working but hope to get that replaced before the end of the week. The one by the frontage road is working. Change the battery in your remote if its been awhile. - Tom Perrier SEPO Board (Area 2) Sent 2025-09-13: UPDATE: TX Ave Gate - Last Saturday the front gate area appears to have been struck by lightning. It damaged the board in the gate opener, which was covered under warranty (yeah) and replaced. But Hurricane Fence didn’t reprogram the keypad and I didn’t find out that it wasn’t working till late Friday, after they closed. After my email from earlier today I’ve become aware that some people don’t have remotes or their homelink system is not paired with the gate anymore. So I will be leaving the gate open till Monday when I hope to get Hurricane Fence back to fix that issue Also if you have a homelink in your car I can program it to the gate. Thank you - Tom Perrier SEPO Board Sent 2025-09-13: TX Gate Keypad Issue - Hey - The keypad for the gate on Texas Avenue is not working. So the gate will only be opening with your remote.

Any Ballot Packets not picked up were mailed on Wednesday, Jan 17, 2024. So, look for them in your mailbox soon, if you haven’t received them already. We had a great “Meet & Greet" session on Jan 23, 2024. You can access the audio recording here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t3rQyMAf8IGklH9HXktu_5ozL-LD0LRs/view?usp=sharing The Board Candidates introduced themselves and told us why they are running for the Board. Then they answered residents’ questions. I personally want to thank all of them for stepping up. I know my time on the Board was very rewarding and I LEARNED A LOT. The proposed Covenants ballots were explained by Share Nelson (president) with input from other Board members, followed by many great questions from residents. I explained and answered questions about the actual voting process and the various documents contained in the Ballot Packets. Then we ate goodies provided by the Women's Club. PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE! Ballots must be turned in no later than 1:00 PM on Tuesday, February 20, 2024. The Ballot Box is in front of the SEPO office. And to emphasize - If you do not turn in your vote, it will be counted as a ‘disapprove/no’ vote.

We thought we were recording the "Meet & Greet" session via Google Meet, but have not received anything from Google. And I'm betting we don't. For my own benefit, I had turned on my tape recorder. Although you may hear some paper rustling in the background, I think for the most part, this will provide valuable information to those who could not attend the session yesterday. And to those who did, it can be a refresher. Here's another kicker - darn it. I didn't look down to see my recorder wasn't on until after the three candidates had introduced themselves. I so totally apologize for missing that section. The recording does start: When I opened the session up to questions to the Board candidates. That was followed by an explanation of the three ballots by the Board, followed by lots of very good questions. Then I spoke and also answered questions about the ballot / voting processes themselves. Again, lots of great questions were asked. And we munched on sweets provide by the Women's Club throughout the entire event. Yum. You can access the audio recording here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t3rQyMAf8IGklH9HXktu_5ozL-LD0LRs/view?usp=sharing The file is very large, so please be patient when listening to it, as I had to store it in an area I don't normally use.

However, this is exactly the time of year that SEPO Election Committees get into gear. If you attended the Dec 19 Special Board Meeting or have viewed the video of this meeting, you are aware that I have volunteered to be the 2024 SEPO Election Committee chairperson and the Board voted unanimously to appoint me to that position. I have already been working on some of the upfront committee tasks. I have updated the Election Committee Guidebook, thanks to a collaborated effort of both myself and your SEPO Board President, Share Nelson. It is almost ready to present to the entire Board for their approval. I'm also working on a Project Plan of all of the tasks - from the smallest of small to the largest of large - that need to be performed between now and when I turn over the tallied vote count to the Board at the Feb 20 Annual Shareholders Meeting. So the next 'large' task for me to accomplish is to fill seats (so to speak) on the committee. I currently have five volunteers, some of which can only help part-time. I'm looking for 10-15 (and possibly more) people to do a variety of tasks, the largest of them being "Stuffing the Ballot Envelopes" sometime around Jan 14-15 AND "Counting Votes" between the 1 pm and 3 pm meetings on Feb 20. If you think you might be interested at all in helping me out, give me a call to discuss. If I don't get enough volunteers in the next few days, I'm going to start cold-calling. Wouldn't you rather volunteer before hearing me beg on the phone. 😁 Thanks in advance for your consideration of this matter. Happy Holidays !!!

Communication note: 1 July 2019 Lenore J. Combs, Coordinator 956 245 1276 LJCombs44@gmail.com Sgt. Michael Brooks, NW HPD District Representative Dear NW-CERT Volunteers and Friends, The July Patrol is posted in the Library. I believe it is up to date reflecting a few changes for vacation etc. A special THANKS for a job well done under adverse conditions. Patrols are vital to our NW mission. However, you are number ONE. If you cannot perform a patrol, please, if possible, at least try to check and lock up the buildings. Having said that, the mosquitos are out in force - do not place your health at risk. Hopefully they will be a force to keep the Bad Guys at bay. Any concerns, call me. The treasure hunters will be enticed to check out our flooding situation. Please be on alert – they are trespassing and they are stealing. Mario did brakes and bushings on the McGruffmobile. There are new flashlights. Let me know what you think. If something is of concern, call me. Keep communication open. These next few months will be a clean-up area and there will be lots of imitation contractors. Don’t be sweet talked into a deal. Please check with your insurance and make sure you are arranging repairs safely, that are reimbursable by your insurance and that the vendor is covered. Some of these Bad Guys are well schooled in “nice”. By hook or by crook, all of you are responsible for the safety and security in Sunshine. If you see somethig g– say somethin!. Tell Valerie, a Board member or me – or the Cops. The Board, your NW – CERT Team, the Harlingen Police, the Combes Police all have our backs. Say a prayer of thanks for them. * Combes residents - Chief Quill wants you to register (flood damage etc.) at their City Hall today ! OK – something fun!
