  • All Others | Sunshine Estates

    Other Sunshine Amenities will be displayed soon but are currently: SEPO Email sent to the Sunshine Community on 2025-11-10 - NEED: More Sunshine Properties Info & Pictures (please help me) - It never fails. 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. My door (or my email box) is always open. I anxiously await some replies. Thanks in advance. - Beth Parrish, Sunshine Website Admin Email: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 THEY INCLUDE: SEPO Office Library Retzlaff Hall Pool & Hot Tub (w/Restrooms & Shower) Pavilion by Pool Shuffleboard Card Room Pool (Billiards) Room Dog Parks: In the Storage Lot Along Texas Avenue Back to Top

  • Storage Room - Shed | Sunshine Estates

    Storage Room / Shed From Newsletter: 2025-10 - As the Women’s Club prepares for another active season, we eagerly anticipate our members’ return and their continued involvement in our upcoming events. It looks to be another amazing season! For all those serving as chair, co-chair, or assisting with any occasion (including holiday dinners and special celebrations) it is important to review the following storage room and shed procedures. The Women’s Club utilizes a storage room located in Retz Hall, as well as two sheds situated within the fenced storage lot. The storage room is a shared space, accommodating the needs of The Rock Club, Quilters, Thursday Night Potluck and also providing shelving for the Men’s and Women’s Golf groups. Each area within the room is clearly marked to ensure easy identification and organization. Last year, our primary objectives focused on improving organization within our storage spaces. This included sorting and labeling items to create a more systematic arrangement. Whenever possible, items were packed away in clear totes to enhance visibility and accessibility. Additionally, efforts were made to eliminate the use of cardboard boxes to further streamline storage and eliminate the bug problem that they often brought. This year, the main objectives will be to complete a high-level inventory that will allow us to monitor what is available, preventing unnecessary purchases, and ensuring that resources are used efficiently. Secondly, we plan to review and remove items that are unlikely to be utilized by the Women’s Club. By streamlining our inventory and freeing up valuable space, we will improve organization and make future activities run more smoothly. If you need help locating specific items or verifying whether an item is available to support your event, please let me know – I’m always happy to assist. This will ensure that you can efficiently find what you need and make the most of our club’s resources. Maintaining order in these spaces involves returning, repacking, and storing items in a manner that they can be reused in the future. Stay tuned for next month’s newsletter. It will contain important detail pertaining to our two storage sheds. Liz Deitrick, Storage Chairperson 512-304-5405 ekdeitrick@gmail.com Back to Top

A master code will be held by SEPO. When hosting an event or otherwise needing access to the kitchen, a temporary code can be obtained from Valerie in the office. Keep in mind, if there is a weekend event, you should obtain the temporary code prior to Valerie closing the office on Friday. In the event, you have an unexpected need to access the kitchen and Valerie is not available, the President of Women’s Club will assist you. The temporary code will be deleted the following Monday or in an otherwise timely manner following weekday events. Upon leaving the kitchen, the interior doors will be closed and must be physically locked, from inside the kitchen and people will exit from the kitchen to the outside after physically locking that door. If you oversee closing the hall, lock the doors, and exit through the kitchen as described above. The kitchen area is currently open on weekdays from 7:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. If a person in charge of an event wishes to lock the freezer, that person must check the key out from the office. If the freezer remains unlocked, there are cameras in place for security in the hall including the kitchen and storage room which can be reviewed for up to three months, if necessary. Beth has put this new process on the website on the 'SEPO Forms and Processes' page HERE or the 'Access to Kitchen Area' page HERE . - JIM KENNEDY, SEPO DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL AREA Sent 2023-03-25: Combes residents water rates - To all SEPO residents who reside in Combes We are proposing a fact-finding meeting with the former mayor of Combes in regards to the situation with our water costs today and the potential increases in rates to come for SEPO residents in Combes. It has come to our attention that there might be another avenue to investigate to possibly get these rates reduced and we think the former mayor may be able to help us. The meeting will be held at Mary David’s residence, in Combes, at 19958 Poplar. She is also concerned about the high water rates that ALL Combes residents are experiencing, and the potential rate increases to come. The meeting will be held at her house on March 29 at 4:00 pm. Anybody who needs a ride let us know, our car holds 6. Maybe some others could help with rides over there also. Mary has been gracious enough to offer to host a meeting of just the SEPO residents that reside in Combes. It will not include residents who live outside of SEPO. We hope you all can come and listen. We hope it will be well worth your time and effort. And we hope that we all will be able to see some lower rates in the future. Thank you, Fred and Sandy Lowe Any questions you can call Fred at 913-534-1369 Sent 2023-03-24: Farewell party - One week till the farewell party!

And she is right, there are lots of great pictures and information out there already. Hopefully, this will provide a spot for those of you who are wanting to get the word out about things outside of the Sunshine borders, that are non-SEPO Club/Group related. A couple of things; although I would be overjoyed if this FB page would mean I no longer needed to do SEPO Communications, that is not the case. All residents are not on Facebook and those who aren't won't see these postings. Non-Sunshine residents won't be able to join the new FB group and, therefore, they won't see the postings either. The original intent of the Sunshine website, above and beyond keeping residents informed, was to entice potential buyers to come check us out and possibly buy in Sunshine. If you want the entire current community to be kept up-to-date about what's going on here in Sunshine AND also entice potential buyers, you will need to continue utilizing the SEPO Communication processes - emails, website updates and (during the winter seasons) the newsletter as described HERE . Thanks again to Pam Adams. - Beth Parrish, SEPO Communications Sent 2023-03-22: SEPO-Sanctioned Facebook Page is now up and running - At the request of SEPO Board President, Share Nelson, I have created a SEPO-sanctioned Facebook (FB) page for the Sunshine community. Sunshine Country Club Estates Official Group It is 'private' to residents. In order to post, you will need to join the "Sunshine Country Club Estates Official Group" or be invited to join by one of the current members. Any resident and all Sunshine Clubs/Groups can post announcements themselves or find a friend to help post them. I am also available to help anyone who has issues with or questions about posting. There are already lots of super posts out there. - Pam Adams Sent 2023-03-22: UNAPPROVED: SEPO Board Meeting (Special) Minutes, Mar 22, 2023 - The video from the Mar 22, 2023 Special Board meeting is now available for viewing on the Sunshine Web site HERE and directly from HERE .

It has been mentioned by more than one individual, so we are taking it seriously. I don’t know that much about the equipment and don’t want to pretend that I do!!! A couple that do use the equipment along with some of their friends, have working knowledge of the equipment in the room and suggestions as to make it more usable. David and Robin Fleiner have graciously offered to put together some suggestions along with all of you as to how we could improve the “workout room”. It has even been suggested that we consult a physical therapist who could offer suggestions on equipment for seniors. Anyone that might be interested in sharing their opinion may contact David or Robin at 808-269-0948 or email dpfleiner10@yahoo.com .

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.. Expect traffic in SCCE on & off all 3 days and especially busy on Iowa. Our resident population is less in the summer and would like for you to do episodic random Safety Patrols essentially for all 3 days. Please, may I suggest you use your personal golf cart and to wear your Orange vest while cruisin' or checking out a bargain.. Keeps the Bad Guys on their toes too. 🙃 Observe and report. Call in suspicious activity 956 216 5940 (PD Dispatch) -- have your little piece of info ready. Thank you. Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 Coordinator NW-CERT *********************************************************************************** NW CERT Estate Sale vs Garage Sale, April 2019 Sunshine Neighborhood Watch – CERT Team (Est. 2008) SCCE - Harlingen’s premier NW & CERT Team. 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

Question: Could you please direct me to where in the Covenants it says only two information meetings are required? Answer: I can't, this is all I can find in our covenants etc concerning meetings. So please direct me where it says otherwise. In fact, I can't find anything concerning information meetings. These are excerpts from our bylaws concerning mandatory meetings. All board meetings are open to the public, anyone may attend and request to speak at these meetings.

The items in bold will be added to our Policy and Procedures: The following motion was brought to the floor regarding Donations to SEPO at the February 11th Board meeting and passed unanimously. Donations to SEPO: When an individual, committee or organization purchases “something” for SEPO, then ownership becomes SEPO’s unless explicitly noted otherwise. Once accepted by SEPO (either explicitly or implicitly), future maintenance, usage, replacement or removal will be SEPO’s responsibility and expense. If SEPO has ownership, the board will have sole discretion for its usage and whether replacement or removal is in SEPO interest at that time. There is no guarantee of replacement. If ownership remains with the donor, then future maintenance, usage, replacement and removal will be the owner’s responsibility and expense, however, SEPO may request its removal at any time for any reason or no reason. The following motion was brought to the floor regarding trail fees at the February 19th Board meeting and passed unanimously. Long term residents will probably point out this was the intention when the trail fess were established but has been lost over the years. All Trail Fees collected will be placed in a designated fund for golf trails (concrete paths) and not placed in the general funds such funds will be strictly used for maintenance or installation of new golf trails.

This is a reminder that on this coming Thursday, March 14, 2019 the Women's Club will be putting on a dance/fundraiser donating to Ronald McDonald House Charities. Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Rio Grande Valley supports our community by providing a "home-away-from-home" for families of critically ill or injured children at local hospitals and clinics. We hope you plan to attend so that you can help them continue with the important work they do! A representative from this charity will also be in attendance. In order to supply them with items they need we are asking for everyone who attends this event to either give a $5 donation per person or bring an item from the wish list. Their Wish List is posted in the Library and can also be found on the Web site by clicking on the icon located here (www.sunshinecountryclub.com/activities-details ). ALSO - Bring along some extra money so that you have a chance to win one of the many prizes that have been donated and that will be given away/raffled off. Remember, this is all for a very good cause. The dance is being held in Retzlaff Hall from 7 PM to 10 PM . Music is being provided by the Classics Band (of which Wade Prater is a member). This is a BYOB and snack type of event . AND - You may think the committee isn't aware that this is the normal Thursday Pavilion Happy Hour event day. BUT - You would be mistaken. We'd very much like folks to come out before the dance and join in the fun of the Pavilion Happy Hour. You might even be able to snatch a sizzling hot dog or two off the grill. NOTE - This is no signup for this event. Just come and get your groove on and enjoy your neighbors and friends. This will be one of the last events (and definitely the last Womens' Club event) before most of us head north for the summer. Thanks in advance for your support.

Hope all is well with you wherever you are. JUST A REMINDER CONCERNING SEPO COMMUNICATIONS I know lots of you are members of the Facebook page, which is currently titled "Sunshine Country Club Estates Official Group." I also know lots of you don't even use Facebook and don't want to have anything to do with it. You prefer to rely on SEPO Communications to obtain your info. And it's my job (albeit volunteer work) to get that info to everyone. I do occasionally get out to the Facebook site mentioned above, but not every day. When I do, I sometimes see articles posted there that are perfectly suited to also be a SEPO Community Email. If I see something on Facebook, but it didn't also get sent to sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com I try to make sure I get it sent in a SEPO email as well, and put (From Facebook) in the signature line. Then I make sure the info is posted on the Sunshine Website. What I'm asking with this email is that, if you post a "Sunshine Activity / Event" on this Facebook page, that you be sure to also send it to me so I can send it to the SEPO community. FYI - I did get multiple comments this past winter season from non-Facebook users about not getting info. Thanks to everyone upfront for keeping folks informed about what is going on in the great community we all live in.

Sorry for any confusion this may have caused. Beth Parrish, SEPO E-Mail E-News Admin E-Mail: sepoenews@gmail.com 314-960-6710 ************************************ The SEPO Board met earlier today (May 20, 2021 @ 1:30 PM via Google Meet). One of the agenda items was as follows: Determine next steps (Review/Change or Not/Approve) SEPO Covid-19 Restrictions with discussion and potential Action. During the discussion of this item, each board member voiced his/her opinion on what the next step should be pertaining to the current SEPO Covid-19 restrictions. At the end of this discussion, a motion was made and seconded to ‘remove’ all current SEPO Covid-19 restrictions. A formal vote was taken with the following results – YES from Beth Parrish, Larry Keller, Lenore Combs and Jean Burgoine & NO from Mecca Henry and Lyn Swonger. Since the vote was not a tie, President Tony Tramel did not vote. The Board would like to thank everyone for being diligent over the past 16 or so months in helping keep our Sunshine Estates residents safe. Although, Sunshine is now starting our normal activities, we encourage you using your personal decision regarding mask use / attendance at meetings and other activities. We believe each person has to be responsible for themselves. Please do what YOU feel comfortable doing. It is my feeling that SEPO owners are highly vaccinated and have been so for more than a couple of months, which I believe, was a primary reason for the positive vote to remove our restrictions. Prior posted Covid-19 restrictions which have been posted on SEPO buildings and the Sunshine Web site will be removed. The May 27th Summer Potluck , chaired by Marian Young, will be the first activity that will not have SEPO Covid-19 restrictions. Refer to the Sunshine Web site Activity Summary page for additional scheduled Activities. It appears this is the beginning of the end for Covid-19 for SEPO, and hopefully the State and the Nation. Tony Tramel SEPO Board President Sent 2021-05-18: Library - I will be gone from Sunshine from May 22 – early September. There will be nobody to process gift books.

If you are having difficulty with the process explained in the e-mail below on how to get to the October 2019 Newsletter, HERE is the direct link to THAT Newsletter only. Going forward I will include the direct link to that month's document and also include the instructions below if you want to view any other Newsletters from the past. Sorry to anyone having issues with the original instructions below.

The Newsletter Guidelines can be found here: www.sunshinecountryclub.com/sepo-newsletter-guidelines . The process for distributing the Newsletter to all of you is going to be different ongoing in order to get the info to you timely and in a format where you can see all of the effort that has been put into several of the articles sent to me by your Sunshine neighbors.And everything will be in COLOR. Of course, the Newsletter will still always be available via print in the Sunshine Library. The primary difference is that - instead of typing the Newletter in this e-mail (and you not being able to see any of the pictures contained in the Newsletter) you can find the document here: www.sunshinecountryclub.com/sepo-newsletter-2019-2020 . You will see that it is available in both WORD and PDF documents. If you have the software to open the WORD document, you will be able to click on any 'links' that are contained in the document. If you can only open the PDF document, you will need to copy and paste 'links' that are contained in the document. Also note that going back to October 2018 all published Newsletters can be found on the Sunshine Web site here: www.sunshinecountryclub.com/sepo-newsletters-overview-1 Hopefully, this change will be acceptable by all of you. If anyone is vehemently opposed, please contact me and we can discuss. Thx so much for giving this process a try. And I can't wait to see all of my TX friends soon.
