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.

Contact me if you have any questions etc. Thanks Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 ___________________________________________________________________________________________ TOYS FOR TOTS - 2020 Hello Everyone here at Sunshine, Earlier today, the Harlingen Police Department dropped off a Toys For Tots box. It will be in the Sunshine Library for the next few weeks just waiting to overflow. If you can find it in your heart to donate a toy for this cause, it would be deeply appreciated. The mission is to provide a tangible sign of hope to economically disadvantaged children at Christmas. It is one of the top rated charities and our PD teams up with the local Marine Corps League. It is also a 501 C (3). A donated ~ ten dollar toy of your choice will make some child’s day. Just wrap it simply with a ribbon and place “BOY" or "GIRL" and the age visibly on the bottom. Ultimately, Harlingen PD, with its partners, has access for the distribution plan which is usually mid December. I have worked a bunch of these and they are breathtaking – to see the kid’s eyes light up for a gift – and to see them sit on Santa’s lap for a photo op – wow! Thanking you in advance for your marvelous generosity. Lenore J. Combs 956 245 1276 Harlingen Citizens Police Academy Alumni Member Newsletter 2021-01: Toys for Tots - Hello everyone here at Sunshine, December 2020 – Congrats - Thanks and Blessings to each and every one who participated in this year’s Toys For Tots initiative via the Harlingen Police Department. Mission accomplished! The goal is and has been to bring the joy of Christmas and send a message of hope to America’s less fortunate children, in particular for children in our area. HPD came to Sunshine with some toys to be wrapped. They took back the equivalent of at least four topped-off huge boxes stuffed with beautifully wrapped donated gifts. On behalf of Assistant Chief of Police Miryam Anderson and Sgt. Fechner, our HPD District Representative, they are most grateful. You all outdid yourselves with love and generosity – but that has always been the Sunshine way. Thanks again. I have a few photos that Beth Parrish (SEPO Communications Manager) has posted below.

Our usual day is the day after Thanksgiving. This year, Sally Dronen and I will be coordinating this event. Due to covid-19 and people being laid off, the food banks are low on food. 100% of the money collected stays in the valley. The North and South side doors at Wal-Mart have been reserved for our group. One or two people at each door, for one hour, are needed to ring the bells. The times are from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm. There will be a signup sheet in the library on the 14th. The date to ring bells is Friday, November 27, 2020. The Salvation Army will provide PPE (Personal Protective Equipment like gloves, masks, hand sanitizer), but if we supply our own, they can save their supply for others.

NOTE: If you pay in full by January 20, 2026, you will receive a 2% discount, which will lower this fee to $1,470.00 for the year 2026.

I'm sure folks have stopped going to those pages, because some of them have been like that for years. This page is a perfect example. However, I never seem to be able to find time to go around and take pictures of these areas. Of course, there are other pages needing work, but I would like to start with this one. What I'm looking for, to begin with, is someone(s) to take pictures of these areas. Some places could/should have only fix or six pics. Other areas could have lots of pics. I know some of you are excellent at taking pictures, particularly at Women's Club events. How many of you can spare a little time to help me out with this endeavor. DON'T BE SHY.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Wall of Honor (Ongoing) 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 Back to Top

We are not selling tickets at the door. Cost is $10 per person for shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes, bread and dessert! We will also provide iced tea and coffee. Bring whatever else you want to drink. Doors open at 4:30! See you there! - Cathy Richmond 303-990-3730 2022-10 Updates - Virtual signups for the shrimp boil are now available in the library. There will be boiled shrimp, sausage, corn on the cob, potatoes, bread, dessert, iced tea, coffee and condiments. Nothing is cooked with the shrimp for those who are allergic to shellfish. The food is kept hot in roasters, and you will be served. I need a couple more volunteers to work in the kitchen and serving line as well as a couple of strong guys to lift the cooked food out of the pots. Doors open at 4:30. Hey guys! 68 tickets sold in one day for the shrimp boil! Envelopes are in the library to sign up. Several people have asked why there is not a signup sheet for the shrimp boil. My explanation comes from experience with using both the signup sheet and the virtual ticket box. Sometimes people sign up and forget to put their money in the box. The chair of the event then has to check with the resident and explain they didn’t put money in the box. Other times people sign up twice so the chair has to reconcile names with money. It is far easier to simply take names from the envelopes in the box. Not very often do we have a limit on tickets. Since we have a limit of 160 tickets, I check the box frequently and will keep the community updated on how many tickets have been sold at least daily. All that being said see you at the shrimp boil on the 22nd! Sent 2022-10-02: WC Shrimp Boil: Ticket Sale Date - Shrimp boil tickets will go on sale October 12th by virtual tickets in the library. If you have friends who will be here for the shrimp boil but are worried about getting tickets, please sign them up. Tickets are limited to 160 and will not be sold at the door. Any questions call me at (303)-990-2730. - Cathy Richmond Sent 2022-09-23: WC - Shrimp boil - The first women’s club activity this year is a shrimp boil on October 22nd. It looks like we will be able to keep the cost at $10 per person! There will be shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes and desserts. The shrimp is cooked separately so those with allergies may safely eat the rest of the food. Signup will be virtually in the library. 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. Watch the SEPO e-news for more details! Hope to see you there! - Cathy Richmond Sent 2022-09-11: Women's Club (WC): Shrimp Boil - The first Women’s Club event of the season is the shrimp boil on October 22. We will have shrimp, corn, potatoes and sausage (and dessert). All four main items are served from roasters and the shrimp is cooked separately for those who have shrimp allergies. I would like to have a meeting of those willing to help next week to plan the event. Contact me text or call at (303)990-2730 if you would like to help and we will set up a meeting.

Beth Parrish, Larry Keller, Jean Burgoine and Lenore Combs remained on the Board for their second year. After the Annual Shareholders meeting on February 15, 2022 was adjourned the new board convened their first ‘required’ meeting where elections were held to fill the Director positions for the 2022 Board. The Board was unable to finalize all positions at that meeting. Therefore, a Special Board meeting was held on February 21 to do so. The FINAL Board Director positions results from the February 21 Special Board meeting are as follows: President: David Fleiner Secretary: Beth Parrish Treasurer: Mark Owen Golf Course: Randy Davis Common Area 1 & 1st Vice President: Jean Burgoine Common Area 2: Larry Keller Common Area 3 & 2nd Vice President: Lenore Combs Contact information for your 2022 Board members can be found in the Residents section of the Web site.

Mark Owen was on the 2021 Board and was re-elected to the 2022 Board. We want to give a huge 'thank you for all you did' to Lyn Swonger and Tony Tramel, who are exiting their Board positions. They both made great improvements within our community during their tenure on the Board. The 2022 Board did hold their first 'required' meeting on Feb 15 in order to elect/assign Director positions. However, partly due to not all Board members being present at that meeting, we were not able to finalize those assignments. We will inform the community as soon as this has been accomplished.

With that said, The Sunshine Video committee is in the beginning stages of working on Lassey Dahlstrom’s brain child - our very own community advertisement! You may notice at events or parties that one of our volunteer video persons may be recording. If for any reason you do not want to be in the video, please let the video person know and we will certainly respect your wishes! At our planned parties, i.e. Women’s Club events, there will be an announcement about the video(s) being taken, so you can let us know if it is indeed something you prefer not to participate in. Otherwise, please feel free to share your enthusiasm!! Irene Phillips, who you may have noticed is an avid photographer, has agreed to take care of many of the planned videos. We also have others on our committee who will be assisting. Your cooperation and enjoyment of the production will be greatly appreciated, and we will have such a wonderful memory video! We would also like to invite you to submit any videos or still pictures that you think are exceptionally fun or interesting! They do not have to be recent as long as they are of good quality and, of course, of Sunshine people and/or activities. For instance, we know the cameras were out in full force at the Leslie Blassing concert/dance. The Video Committee will be gathering these videos and pictures and will then get to work on splicing, editing, etc.! The committee plan is for the end production to contain snippets of different activities and fun we have here at Sunshine; perhaps 15 to 30 seconds of different events, along with some still pictures. Stayed tuned for an announcement of when and where you will be able to view this marvelous production. But don’t hold your breath on the announcement, because this may take a few months to create.

We have attached the BIOs we received from each Nominee. During the January 5, 2026 SEPO “Residents & Directors” meeting the Nominating Committee will move that the SEPO Board place the names of these nominees on the 2026 ballot. Phillip Lay William Petersen Tracy Wagner This announcement, along with the Nominees’ BIOs, will be posted outside the SEPO Office today and can be found on this website HERE .

The committee is made up of: Patricia Lay 425-275-2309 (Chairperson) Joanne Anderson 701-446-6335 Marlene Hall 956-254-6000 If you are interested in volunteering to serve on this committee, please contact any of the current members. We are in the process of locating talented SEPO Homeowner volunteers who would like to serve on the SEPO Board of Directors or who would be willing to assist the Secretary or Treasurer in their positions. Experience and willingness to learn and grow is a plus for homeowners (or their spouses) wishing to volunteer. We need to fill three of the current Board members' positions whose terms are ending in February 2026. There are a total of seven positions that make up the SEPO Board and they are: Officers: President, Secretary and Treasurer Director Golf Course Director Common Area 1 (SEPO Buildings) Director Common Area 2 (Streets, Drainage & Irrigation Ditches and Texas Ave) Director Common Area 3 (Storage & Shop Area, Tennis/Shuffleboard). Who ends up holding each of these positions is determined at the required Organizational Meeting held immediately following the Annual Meeting in February each year. This means a Board member may hold a position this year but may not necessarily retain that position during their second year. It’s up to the Board members to make this determination amongst themselves. If you are undetermined as to whether you would like to serve on the SEPO Board, please ask yourself the following: Do you have ideas about how your community can be managed more efficiently? Would you like to become more involved in your HOA's daily operation? Do you have the time, dedication, and enthusiasm to regularly volunteer your skills for the benefit of your community? If you would like to be considered as a SEPO Board Candidate, please contact any Nominating Committee member to set up an interview. If you know a homeowner (or their spouse) who you think would make a valuable Board member, please contact the Nominating Committee. Please come to the Resident's Meeting today, Tuesday, Dec 8, 2025 to find out more. Thank you all in advance for your consideration.

S EPO Community E-Mails: August 2021 Sent 2021-08-31: UPDATE: Resaca Water - We now have Resaca water and are no longer limiting residence use of the Resaca. SEPO Board Sent 2021-08-29: Blackie has come back - We are in luck. An old friend has decided to come back and visit our neighborhood. Blackie has been seen a few times around the neighborhood recently and we haven't seen blackie for some time. That's really unfortunate because blackie is perhaps one of the best friends in nature that we can have. Blackie is officially known as a Texas indigo snake. Now you are probably repulsed by the idea of a snake being our best friend. But do not fear but rarher respect blackie because blackie eats other snakes, poisonous ones as well as a wide variety of other small creatures. Blackie is neither poisonous nor aggressive but really a very placid creature. Blackie is the subject of a Texas Parks and Wildlife brochure from which I will share some excerpts with you. _____ https://tpwmagazine.com/archive/2015/mar/scout5_wildthing_indigo/ "Indigo snakes are big snakes. Most adult indigo snakes grow to between 5½ and 6½ feet in length. The longest recorded indigo snake was nearly 8½ feet long. Texas indigo snakes are diurnal predators, meaning they are active during the day. They will eat almost any vertebrate animal they can subdue with their strong jaws, including toads, frogs, salamanders, lizards, turtles, birds, small mammals and other snakes. One specimen was found with three mice, two Mexican burrowing toads and two juvenile snapping turtles in its stomach. They are also known to eat rattlesnakes and copperheads , which can be three to four times heavier than an indigo snake. “It’s a gorgeous snake, and it’s not aggressive,” says Andy Gluesenkamp, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department herpetologist. “If you’re nice to the snake, it’ll give you a chance to look at it.” Texas indigo snakes are listed by the state as a threatened species, and because of its protected status, it is illegal to harm, kill, collect or sell Texas indigo snakes. The Texas indigo snake is revered in South Texas, where many ranchers are aware of its propensity for eating predatory rattlesnakes. Ranchers have a fondness for the Texas indigo snake,” Gluesenkamp says. “It’s a true South Texan snake: charismatic, big and tough.” ____ So - since we have seen Blackie around the Estates lately, I would ask you to "just let it be" if you see it. It is your friend, even if it is a snake. Take Care Pat Harvey Birding and Nature Club Sent 2021-08-28: AMENITIES: Pics of Pool Area on Sunshine Web site - I warned everyone I was going to be diving into the Web site soon.

Beth Parrish SEPO Web site Admin E-Mail: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2021-08-28: REVISED - MORE INFO: Gold Colored Sunshine Medallion for Display outside of Golf Bags - There are many new people in Sunshine who may not know that all residents, renters, and their guests are required to display the “Gold Colored Sunshine Medallion” on their golf bag. It identifies them and allows them full access to the golf course. The medallion should be highly visible and not stuffed in a golf bag pocket. Also concerning Guests from the SEPO Policies & Procedures: GUESTS: 3. …… If your in-house guest wishes to play golf you must obtain a yellow tag which must be displayed on the golf bag. The tag must be returned to the SEPO office. If an owner wishes to pay for their house golf guest they may do so by keeping track of the number of times their guest plays and pay the proper amount after the guest leaves. The medallions are free and can be obtained from the office. Your name will be put on the medallion before you exit the office. Guest medallions must be returned to the Office after they are no longer needed. Players on the Sunshine course without this identification may be stopped and questioned. Thanks to everyone for displaying your Sunshine golf medallion.

It was suggested the board come up with another way of identifying all residents playing golf on the Sunshine course. Since that meeting a Yellow Golf Bag Medallion has been created. If you play golf on the Sunshine course, please obtain one of these medallions from the Office (they are free), print your name on it (where you see the white strip in the picture below) and attach it to your golf bag so that is visible to everyone. Thanks for your cooperation with this matter.

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

SEPO E-News E-Mail Guidelines "Do Not Reply" Updated 04-01-2021 (Rev #1) Concerning Replies to SEPO E-Mails Hi All – I know we have had lots of new neighbors move into Sunshine this year. So, the following may be new to some of you. This is also a reminder to those of you who have seen my ‘do not reply ’ request before. My ultimate goal with these guidelines is to help you understand why you shouldn’t reply to a SEPO e-mail (sepoenews@gmail.com ) unless you are requested to do so . Here is how things work when you want an e-mail sent to the community. A resident sends information that he/she wants the SEPO Community to see by e-mailing that info to sepoenews@gmail.com . The Guidelines for requesting a SEPO e-mail to be sent are located on the Web site here . An e-mail request from the resident comes to the sepoenews mailbox, which is monitored by the SEPO E-Mail Admin . At the current time that is Beth Parrish. Upon receipt of an e-mail request, please allow 48 hrs for it to be sent out. However, they are often sent the same day. If your request is an emergency – please state that, and it will get sent out as quickly as possible. When preparing to send the e-mail a Resident requested, it is copied and pasted into a system called Send-In-Blue. That is why you see the ‘unsubscribe’ message and the sendinblue Logo at the bottom of each e-mail sent. If you wish to unsubscribe from our newsletter, click here 5. When you receive a Community E-Mail from the Send-In-Blue system the following are constant: The ‘From’ always says SEPO Community . The ‘To’ is the e-mail address that you, as a Resident, has supplied to the e-mail admin. So now – in ending this long explanation – here are the KEY points to remember: The e-mail admin is the only one who receives REPLIES to the sepoenews mailbox. That means the admin is the one who would need to ‘forward’ your reply to the composer of the e-mail - which is far too time consuming to do. That is why it is so important to reply to the COMPOSER of the e-mail (unless you are requested to reply directly to sepoenews@gmail.com ). All Resident e-mails that have been supplied to the e-mail Admin are HERE . I am sure most of you know the Communications Manager does spend a lot of time working on SEPO E-Mails, the Web site and the Newsletter. That person is happy to volunteer to do this, but also wants you to understand some of what is done and why the request is made 'not to reply’ to the e-mails sent out. Thanks for your understanding with this matter. Beth Parrish SEPO E-Mail E-News Admin E-Mail: sepoenews@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Back to Top
