Toys For Tots – is the premier community action program sending a message of hope through the gift of a new toy to help bring the joy of Christmas to the less fortunate children. The mission is to collect new toys each year and distribute these toys as Christmas gifts to these children in our community. The Harlingen Police Department becomes familiar with these families, currently is collecting toys and hereby requests if anyone at Sunshine can please donate a gift ($10.00 or so). They (HPD) are waiving the “unwrapped” part since the Harlingen PD is most familiar with us thru NW & CERT and wrapping would be handy – just put GIRL/BOY and AGE __yrs. on the gift – visibly on the bottom.

Have a good summer! - Tom Perrier Sent 2023-04-20: Golf Course Maintenance - All of the following information is contingent on the weather (rain, wind conditions, etc.): At noon Wednesday, April 26, we will begin aerating the greens. We will be completed Friday afternoon. The course will be playable, but the greens will be rough and you will need to skip holes that are being actively worked. Throughout the next few months, on Thursday mornings (while it’s still dark), we will be spraying turf management solution. This is purchased at Home Depot over the counter. It helps with our grass and as a side by-product helps kill mosquitos where they breed. It does not affect ornamentals, roses, flowers, shrubs, trees, fruits, citrus, and vegetables. If you don’t drink it, it’s safe for humans and pets. It has a smell to remind you to be extra aware for you and your critters. Also as needed, there will be periodic spraying to kill clover and encroaching carpet grass in small sections of the course. Thank you for your patience.

We also looked into conflicts this might entail as we pursued this potential. I went into the Women's Golf meeting a week ago and asked them if they would consider allowing the GNDGT to begin on a Wednesday and finish the following Friday. I stated this would depend upon their considering giving up one day of the Women's Golf. I indicated they could play on Monday, the week of the GNDGT. I received a phone call from Dana Szretter, 2025 President of Women’s Golf, who indicated that they considered my request and had voted to defer Women's Golf on Wednesday, during the scheduled week of GNDGT, March 25, 2026. The golf course would be reserved as follows: Women’s Golf on Monday, February 23, 2026, Men's Golf on Tuesday, February 24, 2026 GNDGT on February 25, 26, and 27, 2026 I further confirmed that having Women's Golf on Monday for this last week of February appears to work based on my discussion with Scott Kronshage. Please find attached modifications of the activity’s requests related to shifting the GNDGT from Thursday through Saturday to Wednesday through Friday for 2026. The text in these requests mentions the Women’s League Golf shifting their typical day of play from Wednesday, February 25, to Monday, February 23, 2026. I also want to make sure that we have historically kept open the possibility of a one-week delay for rain dates if the weather does not cooperate. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

"Out of Bounds" and "Water Hazards" Course boundaries are indicated by white posts and/or low cement or wood barriers. A ball must be completely beyond the boundary line to be considered "Out of Bounds". Water hazard boundaries are considered to be the inside vertical face, and it's vertical extension, of the cement sand bag walls of the hazard. A ball hitting the vertical face of the sand bag wall and falling into the water without touching ground beyond the vertical extension is deemed to be in the hazard and not be the point at which it entered the hazard. A Ball lodging in the wall (space between cement sand bags) of a water hazard is deemed to be in the hazard. Drop point for lodged ball will be where it last crossed the hazard boundary before lodging. All balls "Out of Bounds" or in a "Water Hazard" will be played from the point they cross the "Out of Bounds" boundary or "Water Hazard" boundary. The ball will be dropped no more than 2 club lengths from the point where it crossed the boundary line (no closer to the pin) (1 penalty stroke).

On hole #9, if a ball enters the water left of the green or past the bridge on the right side of the green or over the green, use the nearest drop zone. The drop zones are located in front of the lake on the left side and past the bridge on the right side. Drop zones will be marked during tournaments (l stroke penalty).

Casual Water "Casual Water" is defined as any water pooling on the course in any place not designated as a "Water Hazard". Pooling can be considered to occur if water is evident around the sole of your shoe when you stand in a wet spot. When in doubt, consult with playing partners. If doubt still exists, play the original and a provisional and consult with the tournament director when the round is completed. When in "Casual Water", the ball may be moved back or laterally to gain complete relief (no closer to pin). No penalty. 8. Bridges All bridges will be treated as cart paths.

The "Tee Box" extends from the front edge of the tee markers to a point two clubs lengths behind the front edge of the tee markers. Only the ball must be within the tee box when teeing off. If the ball is outside the Tee Box when put into play a one stroke penalty will be assessed and the ball must be re-teed and put into play from the Tee Box. 1. When teeing off, a tee must be used. 2. All whiffs are counted. A whiff is when you address the ball, swing and miss. 3. If a struck ball does not clear the tee ground, the ball will be played as it lies. Greens: The "Green" is that area of closely mowed grass surrounding the cup. The "Fringe" is the slightly longer grass surrounding the green. For our purposes, the "Fringe" shall be treated as "Fairway". When marking a ball, the marker should be placed behind the ball. If the marker is in the line of another player's putt the marker may be moved to the side as far as deemed necessary by the player whose line is infringed. The ball will be returned to its original position before putting. Failure to return the ball to the original position will result in a one stoke penalty. If the penalty is assessed for failure to putt from the original position, the ball must be placed in the original position and putted. A two stroke penalty will be assessed if, while putting on the green, you play from another player's marker. A two stroke penalty is assessed for your ball striking another player's ball that is lying on the "Green" while putting your ball from any spot on the "Green".

If you go to the Sunshine web page (www.sunshinecountryclub.com ) and look under “Amenities” you can download the latest list and their contact information.

If you have anything that is an emergency and can send it to me today, please do so. Thanks for your understanding. Beth Parrish 314-960-6710 Sent 2019-10-20: Mr. Fix It List – Passing of the Torch - Pretty much everyone knows the Mr. Fix It List either from the neighborhood Web page or from a paper copy you got from the office. I've maintained it for several years now but the time has come to “Pass the Torch”. I would like very much to hand off the responsibility for maintaining the list. It's a simple process of adding (or deleting) a line in a spreadsheet, then sending a copy to a web site and to the office. It's a five minute process maybe 3 or 4 times a month. I will provide a step by step procedure and be available in case of a problem. So – If you would be willing to help your fellow neighbors find a reliable worker, send me an e-mail or give me a call.

You can also stay informed about activities and ideas by attending Women’s Club meetings. All ladies of Sunshine are invited. Coffee and donuts are available. Eileen Anderson President Sent 2019-10-12: SEPO RESIDENT COMMUNICATION - The question has always come up “How do we communicate to the board if we can’t talk at the meeting and/or “Why can’t we go to the board meeting?” All board meetings per SEPO bylaws and Texas state law are open meetings and anyone can attend. It is unproductive to have open discussion at the board meeting. The SEPO board adapted the policy, for speaking at a meeting, that has become common practice across the country. Anyone can submit a written request to speak on an issue at the meeting. During the remainder of my term, I will accept any request, written or oral submitted the Friday before the meeting. In the case of the upcoming meeting, the deadline would be Friday, Oct 18 th. Please include your issue to allow me time to possibly prepare a response or solve the issue before the meeting. Suggestion box: Located next to the window in the office is a suggestion box for your ideas, thoughts, complaints etc. If you sign your suggestion you will receive a response.The nature of the “suggestion” will determine whether it will be read at the board meeting. There are 3 suggestions from April, which definitely deserve researching. I apologize we have not responded sooner. All the above are “formal” means of communication. We are a small community; everyone has access to the resident address sheet/directory and the resident e-mail list. The most recent copies of both of these documents are always in the Library and on the Sunshine Web site (www.sunshinecountryclub.com/residents-only ). You know where I live, my phone number, and e-mail address. If you have a question, situation or complaint, let’s discuss it. If you are unhappy with my response, then you should definitely proceed with a formal inquiry. We will be having a Residents Meeting, tentative date per my schedule, Monday, Oct 28th. I have been given many suggestions on how to run this meeting. At this time my thoughts are, it will be an informal meeting and I will be the emcee unless some else wishes to volunteer. The board and SEPO organizations will be making presentations. There will be an “open mike” for questions etc. Thank you, John Chajec SEPO President Sent 2019-10-11: 2020 SEPO BOARD ELECTIONS - Per the SEPO bylaws a nominating committee must be appointed 60 days prior to the election in February, the December board meeting.

She will have copies available in the office soon if you absolutely need a printed copy. I have posted the updated 2-page document on the Web site. You can find it on the Activities Overview page (www.sunshinecountryclub.com/activities ). Scroll down to the “Daily / Weekly / Monthly Activities & Meetings Overview” section and click on the Activities File. If you DON'T see the Quilt Show and you DO see the Craft Creations Classes & the Guys & Dolls Golf Tournament, you have the correct list. Watch for more info soon concerning these new activities. The 'key' has also been updated so you know where the various activities are taking place. This is hot off the press, so throw away any previous lists you may have accumulated over the season as they are now defunct (spelling?).

Previously, the swamp covered most of the current grassy areas where the dogs now walk. The club removed trees and other types of vegetation, brought in fill and worked to level the ground. Periodically, new trees and shrubs were planted, and identification plaques were installed. The original butterfly garden and fountain were installed. Berms and plantings were made behind the gazebo. Bird feeders were added and maintained. Last summer the metal mesh fence was installed to support vines. The goal of that area is to have native plants that continue to attract birds and butterflies. The club has held beginning birding classes, led bird walks in the community and around the RV “lakeside”. Field trips have gone to local birding hotspots. Bird books were donated to the library, and a community bird sighting list is maintained there. The club continues to host outside speakers. Some members have even participated in the annual Audubon Bird Count. To help keep the Birding & Nature club relevant to current SEPO residents, we would greatly appreciate it if you would take a couple of minutes to at least review the survey. Just click on the following link. You DO NOT have to sign-in to take the survey. Please click SUBMIT to send us your responses. https://forms.gle/jHRsLsir7nNjzcb29 Thank you!!

Every time I'm out on our Sunshine website I see pages which say, "under construction" or "check back soon for more details". 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.

I suggest you check your stuff.. Seems like point of entry was shabby gates. We checked the condition of our resaca gates on the ridge off Missouri. They are probably not a challenge to them either!. They were "fixed" a while back but probably could use a facelift with some updated security measures. SEPO Board is aware and we shall share info today. Last week Norm Pankow and I were invited to Paradise Park by Sgt Michael Brooks. They recently had some Bad Guys visit them too. Now they are reconsidering a Neighborhood Watch. Guess what - we discussed to ID dark spots, place solar lighting, locking up stuff - sound familiar????? Seems they don't have a No Trespassing sign ..... Another thing in common was a favorite entry point for the Bad Guys. Also met an old friend who attended Citizens Police Academy with us - we shall keep in touch. 2 Bad Guys and all of us - why are they winning????? 😞 HPD has talked to us for 10 years. -- Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 Coordinator NW - CERT Team Sunshine CC Estates Sent 05-06-2019: Estate Sales and Garage Sales advisory - Dear Friends - Our friend and neighbor, Virginia Carubia will have an Estate Sale on May 30, 31 and 1 June Thursday, Friday and Saturday - all day..

Lights On -- Lock Up and Look Out for each other! Lenore J. Combs, Coordinator 956 245 1276 LJCombs44@gmail.com Officer Alicia Garcia, NW HPD District Representative A Garage sale is typically the sale of someone’s unwanted household items usually held in your garage or driveway. A Yard sale has so much stuff it tends to spill into your yard. It’s not very structured and is a fun day in the community. An Estate sale is the sale of items from an estate to sell items from the home. Many Estate Sales are managed by companies hired by the individual to help with selling an entire home of possessions. More businesslike – usually goes 3 days. A Garage - Yard sale at Sunshine – residents are all out there and it attracts many residents who may also have their sale. Great social day too. An Estate sale is a business function and the Company does a call out to “their friends and associates” to enhance the buying power from their wide customer base as well as place ads professionally to advertise in advance via print and social media, website etc. Safety and security concerns increase. The customer base is expanded. This summer, many Winter Texans are already home. Please sign up for random Neighborhood Watch Patrols for these days. You can use your own golf cart. Wear your orange vest – it speaks volumes. The special signup sheet and details are in the Library on the NW bulletin board. Concern will also be for reasonable care so the streets have enough room for an emergency vehicle to get thru Senin a hurry. Please contact me if you can help or have questions. Thanks. Back to Top
