For Sale On August 29, 2025: The Entire Listing, including pictures, for the home at 4309 N Minnesota Street, owned by Rosa Allen, was updated. - Beth Parrish Sunshine Website Admin Email: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2025-08-27: NOTICE: SEPO Communication Helpers - I wanted to let everyone know that I did have some residents step up a couple of weeks ago when I asked for help with SEPO communications. And I've currently got all of them working on various tasks. So if someone calls you, emails you, etc with questions concerning such things as resident directories, facebook posts, upcoming winter activities (just to name a few) they are doing so at my request. Now if they start asking you for money - that's their personal request - not mine. 😊😊😊😊😊 Also, a reminder, Cyndi Skidmore is taking over SEPO Newsletter responsibilities starting with the Oct 2025 publication. I'm turning everything over to her now, so keep an eye out for 'reminder' emails from her very soon. If anyone has questions, or you decide you want to get on the list of helpers, please contact me at any time. It hardly seems real, but the winter 2025-2026 season is rapidly approaching and communications is always a huge part of what goes on. CYA Soon. - Beth Parrish SEPO Communications 314-960-6710 Sent 2025-08-25: UPDATE: Woodshop Status - The power company came and fixed the problem. Woodshop is now open.

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

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

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

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.

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 !!!

We are pleased to announce the SEPO Residents who met the requirements and are in good standing in the Sunshine Estates Community. We encourage the current Board of Directors to include their names in the 2022ballot. The Nominating Committee will make that motion during the January 2022 Board of Directors Nominations meeting.

There are three (3) positions to fill for the forthcoming SEPO Board election in February 2022. If you would like consideration and possibly be recommended by the Nominating Committee as a SEPO Board Candidate, please contact any member to set up an interview. Cathy Richmond SEPO Nominating Committee Chairperson Nov 15, 2021: Why Become an HOA Board Member - If you are undetermined as to whether you would like to serve on the SEPO Board, please ask yourself the following: Do you have great ideas about how your community can be managed more efficiently? Would you like to become more involved in your HOA’s daily operations? Do you have the time, dedication, and enthusiasm to regularly volunteer your skills for the benefit of your community? If so, then you’re a perfect Candidate to run for a seat on the SEPO Board of Directors. If you’re still on the fence about whether or not to run, here are three reasons you should take the leap and “Become a SEPO Board member”. You’ll help to protect your investment. Board members are tasked with making important decisions on behalf of the homeowners’ association. These decisions have a major impact on the future of the community. You’ll make your community a nicer place to live. In addition to administrative and operational tasks board members can act to enrich community life through events and activities offered to the residents. You’ll bring valuable skills to the table. Your life skills and interests may be a good fit for the Board. Social skills, hobbies and training you have received all may be used in your role as a Board member to benefit the community. Running for a seat on your Board of Directors is a major decision. Before making a commitment, attend a few Board meetings to get a sense of how they operate. Reach out to current or past Board members and ask about their experiences and what they have learned. Also from them you can get a run-down of what would be expected of you in your new role. If occupying a seat on the SEPO Board of Directors sounds like a fun and challenging opportunity, please reach out to the Nominating Committee and they will assist you with the steps to take to get started.

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.

Although this is outside of the SEPO Email Guidelines, I thought it was worth sending an email about. Thx for the info to the community Cathy. (Beth Parrish) There is a Cane toad living near us that we see nightly. It is the most poisonous toad in America, especially dangerous to dogs. If they lick the toad the toxins on its skin can kill them! I fear there may be more of them around. While they are nocturnal, they hide in shady places where inquisitive dogs may find them.

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.

As listed in the agenda, this was an opportunity for those leading the various Sunshine Clubs/Committees to provide information about what's currently going on with their organizations. After these updates were given, there were two non-Board members who requested to speak at this meeting concerning agenda items for the Nov 9, 2021 Board meeting. AGAIN, PLEASE NOTE - There are no plans to publish minutes from this meeting or any of the ongoing Residents meetings.

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.

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.

Dana Weise, Nominating Committee Chairman Nov 5, 2020 (via SEPO E-Mail E-News): SEPO Board Nominating Committee (2021) - Update and Request - Hi Everyone – My name is Dana Weise and I am Chairing the 2021 SEPO Board Nominating Committee. 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!

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.

Be sure to read it as there is great info in it concerning your 2024 SEPO Election Ballots and the multitude of great activities coming up. Thanks to everyone who contributed. If you have questions about any of the information in this Newsletter, please contact the person who wrote the article. You can view/print a copy of it on the website HERE . I will be placing a Master Copy of this Newsletter in the library sometime today and Valerie will make copies for anyone who wishes to read it from paper. Thanks so much all for helping to 'get the word out'. - Beth Parrish, SEPO Newsletter Mgr Email: seponewsletter@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2024-01-25: 2024 SEPO Election: Depositing your Ballots into the Box - When you take your ballot envelope to the Office/Library building to vote, please ensure you place it in the slot on top of the 'locked' ballot box that is sitting in front of Valerie's office. Ballot envelopes have been found pushed under Valerie's office plexiglass window and even deposited in the slot located just above the 'suggestion box', which you can see in the picture below. A Board member even found one that had been shoved under the Office door and just lying on the floor. And yes, the Ballot Box was in it's current position when the envelopes mentioned above were found. Please respect the SEPO Election rules. Call me with questions at any time. - Beth Parrish, 2024 Board Election Committee Chairperson Email: 2024boardelectioncommittee@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2024-01-25: NW-CERT: Minutes, Jan 15, 2024 - Please take the time to read the minutes from our meeting on Jan 15, which can be found HERE . -- Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276, Coordinator Sunshine NW-CERT Team Sent 2024-01-25: Retiring sepoenews@gmail.com - Two things - in a Nutshell: SEPO emails will start coming to you from sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com instead of sepoenews@gmail.com . When sending information to this address for me to send to the community, please include your email address along with your name. If you want to know 'why', keep reading. FIRST: I have been informed by the SEPO email system we use (BREVO) that "gmail" and "google" are tightening up their restrictions on being able to send/receive bulk emails. They are doing this to prevent/cut down on the number of SPAM emails you receive. And that's a good thing. Since sepoenews@gmail.com is definitely a bulk sender and the majority of the Sunshine community uses gmail to received SEPO emails, I'm currently working on retiring sepoenews@gmail.com as the sending email address. I will keep this gmail account open for a while until I'm sure I have done everything I need to with the new one, which is sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com . The only thing you, as the receiver, need to do is ensure the new sending email address is not considered spam when you receive it. I did send the 'pool update' email last evening using the new email, so if you didn't get it check, your spam folder. SECOND: BREVO has implemented a new feature that allows me to enter in the 'reply to' slot the email address of the person who sent me the information. That way when anyone replies to a SEPO email it will go the composer of the email and not back to me. I will be updating the email guidelines to request you include your email address along with your name when you send me something to email to the community. Otherwise, I will have to go to the directory to look you up every time I send an email for you. Just think of it as if someone was replying directly to you when you post something on Facebook, instead of a middle-man. So onward & upward. Please call with any questions or if you have any issues with this ongoing. - Beth Parrish, SEPO Enews Email Manager Email: sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2024-01-24: Wednesday pool update - Pool update as of 4:45 Wednesday, January 24, 2024. - Heater is running, thanks again to Lalo, and water temps are on the way up. Right now water temp is 73 on the way up to 90. Hopefully, most of that will take place during the evening. Will check again in the morning, and let folks know. Thank most of you for your patience and enjoy the pool again. - Jim Kennedy, SEPO Board Sent 2024-01-24: 2024 SEPO Election: Audio Recording from "Meet & Greet" - Technology bit us in the 'you know what' yesterday. 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. If you have any questions, either with the technology or the election, please don't hesitate to contact me.

If I get a reply from several of you, because I know there are several of you who play in this, that's fine. If I get no replies, that will be very disappointing.😢.

I know it's cold, but TODAY IS THE LAST DAY you will be able to come to the Library from 10 AM to 12 NOON and physically pick up your 2024 Election ballot packets. Mailing these packets is not cheap.

This will be followed by the chairperson or a member of the Election Committee co-signing. When you enter the library you will see signs of each Sunshine street hanging on the book shelves. Find your street and see the person in front of that sign who will be handing out the packets for your street. Any ballots not picked up by NOON today, Monday, January 15, will need to be stamped and taken to the Post Office to be mailed to your Sunshine address (unless you previously requested it be mailed to a different address). Each packet contains the Board of Directors ballot and three Covenants ballots. It also contains 'voting instructions' and other pertinent information you will need to complete and submit your ballots by the absolute deadline of Tuesday, Feb 20, 2024 at 1 PM. At least two SEPO Board members will be present today to answer any questions you may have regarding the process or ballot contents.

If you didn't see them or don't remember the circumstances they are on the Sunshine Web site here (www.sunshinecountryclub.com/sepo-e-mails-2019-05 ) for you to review. As it turns out Lupe is going to be off work for medical reasons longer than anticipated, and that extra time off will unfortunately be without pay. Therefore, if you would like to help with her situation, here's how you can do it. Those residents who are physically living at Sunshine right now will be able to attend a Fund Raiser for Lupe at Retzlaff Hall on Saturday, June 8 at 3:30 PM.

OR if you don't want to attend or are not at Sunshine right now you can follow Step 2 below. You may contribute to Lupe's situation by sending a check - Make the check out to Lupe Garza (but DO NOT send it to her) Instead - send your check to: SEPO office 1957 W Michigan Dr. Harlingen TX, 78550-3108 You all know how much Lupe means to us and what a fantastic person and employee she is. So please be generous at this time. Also - If you know of anyone not on this e-mail list, please let them know about all of this. Thanks Sherri Gardner / Beth Parrish Sent 06-01-2019: Do you have a house in Sunshine for Rent - I've received inquiries this summer from people in various parts of the US wanting to know if there were any houses for rent in Sunshine. So I've decided it might be a good idea to list available rentals on our Web site - just as long as those wanting to rent their home keep me informed when they do get rented and also when they open up for rental again . This will also help Valerie to keep the 'Renters Directory', which is posted on the Web site under the Residents/Password Required tab, up-to-date. The current 'Renters Directory' on the Web site is OUT OF DATE. If you currently have changes to this information, please notify both Valerie and myself. So if anyone wants me to post their available Rentals on the Web site please send me the information you would like a potential renter to see i.e., your contact info, months house is available, price, pictures of your house etc. That information will be located here (www.sunshinecountryclub.com/for-rent ). You will notice we already have one available rental listed there. Questions? Contact Beth Parrish.

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

I've been walking around the community and saw several homeowners decorating their golf carts. It should be loads of fun. For the Web site: The Sunshine Web site is thirsting for events this year. Due to the pandemic it hasn't received much relief. However, the MASK-O-RADE this evening is a perfect opportunity for one and all to help out. The Web site needs pictures - and lots of them - of this evening's festivities. Your pictures can be sent to Beth Parrish at the e-mail address below. Or give me a call and I can arrange to get them from you by other means (USB stick, etc).
