Sunshine Home For Sale/Rent Guidelines Revision 5 - Updated 03-01-2026 Print this Page There is currently a MARKET section on the Sunshine Website where Homeowners can list their homes For Sale/Rent. It is located HERE . If you have a home in Sunshine that you would like to see listed on the Sunshine website, please do the following: Send an email to sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com containing - Whether you are Selling or Renting . Address of home (# and Full Street Name). Owner(s)’ Name. Contact info – of Owner or Realtor (phone(s), email(s) and/or other). The following items are optional: Description of home. If you are renting, what timeframe is the home available. Sale / Rental Price. Pictures. You may send as many pictures as you want or you can send a ‘link’ (preferred) to pictures you or your agent may have in a ‘cloud’. NOTE: The website administrator would very much like to help you with the sale or rental of your home by sending the information to the Sunshine community via a SEPO email and listing it on the Sunshine website. However, the information supplied concerning your sale cannot simply be a link to a realtor’s website. Sunshine does not advertise for realtors. The information requested above needs to be provided by either you or your realtor. If your realtor puts your pictures in a ‘cloud’ location, other than just on the realtor's website, that link can be posted on the Sunshine website. The Sunshine website will be updated as soon as the information is received concerning a new or updated listing. Common practice is that a “single” SEPO (Sunshine Estates Property Owners) email of all additions or updates that week will be sent to the community on Saturday mornings . Key things to remember about this process - You or your agent must “immediately” inform the SEPO office of your ‘For Sale’ listing. If renting, you must also inform the SEPO office and either you or the renter must go to the office and fill out the ‘Renters Emergency Information’ form. You or your agent need to keep the Web Administrator informed when your home needs to be removed from the listing page. Do this by sending an email to sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com . If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at my information below. Beth Parrish Sunshine Website Admin Email: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Back to Top

And wouldn't you know, I caught a couple of our talented residents singing. And you will see in the videos that I've linked to below, there were quite a few folks enjoying. I want to personally thank Jerry Rash for putting on this event. Deep in my heart I feel it's exactly what our community is needing right now - Fellowship and Fun. Hopefully, Jerry will do it again soon. Here are the three videos I took, each less than 30 seconds. And, believe it or not, the voice quality sounded even better in person. ENJOY!

All of the above can be found under the Rules/Officers Tab on the Web site. Questions etc. contact me. Beth Parrish SEPO Web site Admin E-Mail: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2021-11-15: CORRECTION - 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. Cathy Richmond SEPO Nominating Committee Chairperson Sent 2021-11-15: SEPO Board Nominating Committee Roster - The members of the SEPO Board Nominating Committee are made up of: Cathy Richmond (Chair) Jerry Drost Share Nelson Nancy Steele Kathleen Sunders The purpose of this committee is to identify and recommend SEPO Residents who would like to serve on the SEPO Board of Directors.

For questions or info, call Janis or Derek McFee at 651-271-8214 Sent 2021-11-11: EXPLANATION: What is a Golf Course Improvement Fee & Why - This is being written to, hopefully, clear up questions some of our newer resident golfers may have concerning the reinstatement of an annual Golf Course Improvement fee, before they have the need to ask them. In the prior e-mail sent earlier today about some of the SEPO fees being increased for 2022, it states: We have reinstituted the Golf Course Improvement Fee (formerly known as a Trail Fee) for 2022. It will remain at $25.00. Previously these 'Trail Fees' were being collected in order for the Golf Course Director to complete the golf cart path throughout the entirety of our golf course. Once that project had been completed the existing Board 'at that time' voted to eliminate these fees. The current Board revisited this item over the past summer and voted to reinstate this fee - but to repurpose it. The following change to the Policies & Procedures was implemented in August 2021 and exists there today. POLICIES AND PROCEDURES OF SUNSHINE COUNTRY CLUB ESTATES APPROVED BY ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS August 31, 2021 (All previous Policies & Procedures are replaced by this Update of August 31, 2021.) GOLF COURSE Anyone wishing to use a riding golf cart to play golf may do so by paying an annual Golf Course Improvement fee. A sticker must be purchased each year and placed in plain view on the windshield of the cart. All Golf Course Improvement Fees collected shall be used for the construction/continued maintenance and repair of: future/existing concrete golf cart pathways/trails, water features on the golf course, including, but not limited to, masonry walls of the golf course ponds and aeration pumps/fountains, water irrigation and pond lighting improvements. All of these improvements shall be located within the limits of the golf course. ********** In addition to this explanation, note that “Only mechanical powered golf carts with a paid annual permit are permitted on our golf course." Hope this explains things. Thanks SEPO Board Sent 2021-11-11: SEPO New/Adjusted Rates for 2022 - Hello Sunshine Homeowners - This is to inform you of any new or adjusted rates for 2022, approved by the SEPO Board of Directors at the November 9, 2021 Regular Board meeting. The HOA Assessment Fee for 2022 will now be $1,365.00 for the year. This is a total increase of $45 over the prior year amount, which the Board is permitted to approve per the SEPO Covenants. NOTE: If you pay in full between now and Jan 19, 2022, you will receive a 2% discount, which will lower this fee to $1337.70 for the year 2022. The Storage Lot rates are as follows: Lots that were $100.00 are now $165.00. Lots that were $110.00 are now $181.50. Lots that were $140.00 are now $231.00. Lots that were $150.00 are now $247.50. Lots that were $160.00 are now $264.00. We have reinstituted the Golf Course Improvement Fee (formerly known as a Trail Fee) for 2022. It will remain at $25.00. We will be charging a fee for any Resale Certificate produced by the SEPO Office. TX RE law requires this certificate be provided prior to the sale of all homes that have mandatory assessments. This fee, which has up to now been done at no charge for SEPO home closings, will now be $250.00. This fee can either be paid by the seller or often paid by the buyer. This information will also be posted outside the SEPO Office. Thank you.

Marlene Hall Sent 2021-11-07: WC: Thanksgiving Dinner - REMINDER - Women's Club: Thanksgiving Dinner The Women's Club will be sponsoring a Thanksgiving Day Dinner again this year in Retzlaff Hall on Nov 25, 2021, but there will be changes from how we’ve done it in the past. Rather than the Women's Club providing the meat, stuffing, gravy etc. and residents bringing the sides, desserts etc., for everyone in the hall to share, here’s the plan for this year. Due to Covid-19, in order to social distance, we will be setting up ten (10) tables in the hall. Each table can seat 8 to 12 people. We are looking for a host to ‘sponsor’ one (1) of each of the ten (10) tables. The host signup sheet is currently on the Women's Club Committee Signup Bulletin Board in the Library. Responsibilities of the host are defined later in this e-mail. I would like to have a meeting in the library with the hosts prior to putting the residents/renters signup sheet on the WC easel in the library. Anyone not signed up as a host is also welcome to attend this meeting, ask questions and then maybe volunteer to be a host. This meeting is planned for Friday, Nov 12 at 1pm in the library. The resident/renter signup sheet will go up on Nov 15, ten (10) days prior to the Thanksgiving dinner. When this signup sheet goes up residents/renters can signup for the table they wish to sit at. The hall will open at 12:30 pm on Thanksgiving Day for pre-dinner socializing. Plan to eat at 1 pm. Host Responsibilities - Each host will be responsible for meeting with the residents/renters who signed up at their table to decide on the following: Decorations (if any wanted). The Women's Club can supply decorations if you wish to use them or you can use your own. The hall is reserved on Wed, Nov 24 @ 4 pm for those wanting to decorate their tables. Place Settings (Does the table want to be uniform, or everyone bring their own?) Food and Drink. (What will be prepared and served at each individual table and who will bring what?) Table cleanup. (Each table will need to be cleaned when you are finished, by those sitting at that table.) We encourage you to signup 'now' to be a host and invite your friends and neighbors to share this most wonderful holiday together with you at your table. We would like to see all the tables full. For any questions or anyone wishing to know more, please contact Bev McIntosh at 989-397-7482.

People have left the pool area because the music interfered with their enjoyment of the area. People go to the pool to swim, sunbathe, read, relax, etc. If you are alone at the pool, feel free to play your music. When another person enters the area, please, be considerate and ask that person if he/she objects to your music or the volume level of your music. If it bothers him/her, please, turn your music off or use earbuds. The reverse is true as well. If there is someone in the pool or lounging in the area, the "music lover" should request permission before turning on his/her music. I regret having to address a situation that should simply be a matter of consideration of others' peaceful enjoyment.

They cannot grow crops without irrigating. You may have noticed when you drive down our streets that there is standing water in them due to residents over-watering. Anyone who is watering their lawn should limit it to twice a week. Watering more often than that saturates the ground, and it will not be able to soak up water when it rains. This adds to our flooding situation.

After some research, it was decided to start adding all of the SEPO activities, meetings etc that were requested (see request process HERE ) to the SEPO G-Mail Office Calendar. I do believe Valerie has been posting that calendar (by month) in the library all summer. Although I had never gotten around to putting it on the Web site - low and behold - both August & September are out there as of yesterday. (see this page ) When you look at it for the first time you will probably say - I can't read that!! Simply enlarge the document on your computer or other smart device to view the details. I have also included the 'color legend' of where the activities take place on page one of each month's calendar. Please review the calendar carefully to ensure the activites, etc you have previously requested are listed correctly - days, dates, times, descriptions etc. Please let the office know if something needs added, deleted or changed. I know things are pretty much status quo for the next couple of months, so I probably won't be updating these two documents on the Web site. However, with the winter season rapidly approaching, I need to figure out a 'not so labor intensive' method of keeping the updated monthly calendars on the Web site. Please contact me with any questions or issues you may have. Beth Parrish SEPO Web site Admin E-Mail: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Back to Top

SEPO EMail Guidelines Revision 10 - Updated 10-19-2025 Print from here Sending SEPO Community Emails is a ‘public service’ to Sunshine residents performed by a SEPO Resident Volunteer . Guidelines have been developed to help everyone know what WILL and what WILL NOT be sent to Sunshine Residents and Renters who are on the SEPO Email Distribution List. If you, or any other Resident or Renter you know, are not on the distribution list but would like to be, please send the request to be added to this list to both sepo.office@gmail.com AND sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com . Be sure to include your Name, Email address and Sunshine address. Thank you for your cooperation with this attempt to provide structure to the information that is distributed via SEPO emails. I do believe they are an excellent form of communication to the Sunshine Community. Please contact me with questions, etc. Beth Parrish SEPO Email Mgr E-Mail: sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com 314-960-6710 Emails you would like to have distributed to the Sunshine community should be sent to sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com from your email account and not via Phone Call or Text . SEPO emails will generally be sent to the community within 24 hours of receipt. In order to not have to monitor the SEPO email account all day, the general practice is to send emails received during a single day, to the community overnight. - However, if your email is an emergency, please contact the SEPO Email manager, preferably via Phone Call or Text, and request it be sent immediately. To those residents who post information on the Sunshine Facebook page that fits into the SEPO email guidelines, please remember to send that same information to sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com . This needs to be done because lots of our residents do not use Facebook and they need to be provided with the same information that is posted on Facebook. Emails that CAN BE SENT to the Community: SEPO Board and SEPO Office announcements. Information, reminders etc about: Sunshine Events / Committees / Clubs / Meetings etc. that take place on SEPO grounds. These are listed on the Sunshine website HERE . Enhancements and/or repairs to: SEPO Common Grounds – i.e. Golf Course, Pool, Hot tub, Storage Lot. Additions to SEPO Assets – i.e. the Well. Items that have been Lost or Found . Notice of a Garage Sale within Sunshine . You should list: Who is having the sale (Contact Info, etc., Phone # optional) Address of the Sale Days, Dates & Time Type of Items for Sale (optional) ‘MARKET’ emails advertising a Sunshine Home For Sale and/or For Rent can be sent by adhering to the guidelines listed on the website HERE . Emails that CAN BE SENT to the Community WITH QUALIFICATIONS : An email from a resident/renter that states the Board of Directors has ‘said ’ or ‘approved ‘ something can be sent if it contains the resident’s/renter’s signature and information to ‘prove’ that a majority of the Board members have approved the email to be sent to the Community. Emails that CANNOT BE SENT to the Community: Information, reminders etc about events/functions that, even though they may be attended by Sunshine residents/renters, are taking place outside of SEPO grounds. (Example – An event taking place on South Padre Island.) Emails that do not contain the signature of the composer or whoever the email is being sent for. Personal opinions. Back to Top

One of the searches I did was "55+ communities in texas" and low and behold we popped up at the top. Try it and see. John C told me about a site www.55places.com where I just submitted the application for us to be placed on it. I will continue researching other sites where we might be able to get listed on. If you know of any particular sites you think might be a good fit for people searching for retirement communities, send me the URL and/or other information.

Any questions call John Chajec at 708-280-8940 Sent 01-21-19: PROPOSED COVENANT CHANGE CLARIFICATION - It was brought to my attention that the wording of the proposed assessment covenant change is confusing. This is the current covenant which I believe was created when the SEPO was established. The $300.00 payable $25.00 per month was the original maintenance fee when SEPO was established. Current covenant: SECTION 4.3 ANNUAL ASSESSMENT Annual assessment shall be $300.00 payable $25.00 per month . The annual assessment may be increased each year by not more than $45.00 per year. Any such possible increases in assessments shall be non-cumulative. In any year following a year when there has been no increase, the assessment may not be increased by more than $45.00. The proposed covenant which you have the opportunity to vote on: Annual Assessment and annual maintenance fee are the same thing in my mind. The word "assessment" should have been used were "maintenance fees" are inserted. Sorry.about the confusion. Proposed Covenant: Covenant SECTION 4.3 ANNUAL ASSESSMENT Annual assessment shall be no more than 5% of annual maintenance fees payable per month or yearly. The annual assessment may be increased each year by not more than 5% of annual maintenance fees per year.

Beth Parrish Sent 01-12-19: Various - After attending the information meeting on Tuesday, January 8/19, I was reminded why I have quit going over the last few years. But first, I want to thank the Board members for their time, effort and dedication that they freely give, to execute their positions for our community. As well as becoming more transparent with information to our residents, which I hope increases and continues. Being a Board member is a thankless job, that can cause animosity between fellow residents. But, it doesn't have to be that way if we remember that our Board members are elected by the residents that "choose" to vote. They may make decisions that we don't necessarily agree with, but they are doing so by following the rules and bylaws set before them. It may be beneficial for all residents to read and understand the bylaws that we have within our community. We all have our own ideas and opinions, which we are entitled to, but we still need to be respectful when treating and speaking to others. "Treat others as you would like to be treated"....hopefully that is with RESPECT!!

It has been an interesting and at times overwhelming experience. We feel we have it fine tuned now and it is a great fund raiser for the Women's Club. Therefore, it is our hope that someone else within our community would enjoy the challenge and continue this project and keep it going for the Women's Club! We feel that if it is dropped at this point, it would be difficult to reestablish, as well could end up with higher costs. So, we are hoping there are a few of you out there in our community, that would be willing to shadow us in our last year and see what it takes to operate. Now would be a great time to step up and learn the ropes! You are welcome to attend our next meeting on Tuesday and discuss any questions you may have or give either one of us a call if you are interested.

The changes approved are as follows: Elimination of the advance sign-up. Members will show up to play at either the 8:30 am launch or the 10:15 am launch. Fifteen (15) minutes before each tee time, a ball with the player’s name will be drawn for hole assignment. Golfers arriving less than 15 minutes before tee time will not be assigned to a team for that tee time. Early players who arrive late can return to play at 10:15 am. Second shift players who arrive late will need to wait until the following week to play. The fee structure has also changed. Gone is the requirement to pay $1.00 per week and a $20 membership fee. It has been replaced with a membership fee of $40.00 which covers weekly play, tournament costs and administrative costs (ink, paper, etc). Cash only will be accepted for payment. In order to have your golf ball (supplied by Matt Lyne) placed in the case for player eligibility each golfer must pay his $40.00 membership fee before playing. The first date for 2024-2025 season is November 5, 2024. In order to accommodate players who wish to play on November 5, Matt Lyne and Jerry Wetherbee will be available to collect membership fees from 7:30 am to 8:00 am, and from 9:30 am to 10:00 am.

SEPO Board Meetings (Summer 2026: Apr 1 thru Sep 30) (Regular - Special - Executive Sessions) (Agendas - Recordings - Minutes) Bd Mtg (Reg): 2026-06-09 Bd Mtg (Reg): 2026-04-13 BOARD MEETING (Regular): Tue, Jun 9, 2026 @ 1 PM SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS FROM 2026-06-09 BOARD MEETING Sent 2026-06-15: June 9, 2026 HOA Board Meeting — What residents need to know - June 9, 2026 HOA Board Meeting — What residents need to know The June 9, 2026 HOA Board meeting focused heavily on two major issues: approved road work and the Association’s financial position going into 2027 . Road Work Approved The Board approved moving forward with the Five-Year Planning Committee’s road recommendations. The approved road work is expected to cost approximately $145,000 . This work includes: Reclamite pavement preservation treatment. Asphalt patching in the most deteriorated areas. Work on the Grace Avenue access road/intersection. Reclamite was recommended because it helps preserve existing asphalt and may extend the useful life of the roads. The Board discussed that traditional road reconstruction is becoming extremely expensive. Initial estimates for some road work were much lower than the bids received. What was originally expected to cost approximately $42,000 came back closer to $100,000. Because of these rising costs, the Board chose a preservation-and-patching approach now rather than waiting until the roads require more extensive reconstruction. The Grace Avenue access road is included in the approved project, but the Board plans to contact Encore to discuss possible cost-sharing because that road may also benefit Encore residents. Why This Road Work Matters Roads are one of the Association’s largest long-term infrastructure expenses. The Board discussed that future road reconstruction could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. The current road project is intended to protect the roads now, extend their life, and delay more expensive reconstruction. The Board emphasized that delaying necessary maintenance can make future repairs much more costly. Current Financial Situation The Association is facing serious financial pressure. The Board stated clearly that the Association does not have the large reserve balance some residents may believe it has. After the road project, roof work, likely air conditioning replacement, and other capital needs, the reserve fund is expected to drop to approximately $75,000 . We should have a reserve fund of at least $500,000 . Current HOA fees do not fully cover the Association’s annual operating budget. The Association has been relying on other income sources, such as storage lot revenue and interest income, to help cover annual operating expenses. The Board also discussed that costs have increased significantly over the past several years, while the Association’s ability to raise revenue is limited. Budgeting Limitations Under current rules, the annual HOA fee increase is limited to $45 per home per year . That increase generates only about $14,000 in additional annual revenue. The Board explained that this amount is not enough to cover rising costs, rebuild reserves, or prepare for future major road expenses. In addition, Association policy requires a portion of HOA revenue to be placed into the reserve contingency fund. The reserve contingency fund is intended for major needs such as: Roads. Irrigation. Emergency building expenses. Because of this, the HOA fee increase cannot simply be used to cover regular operating expenses. How the Board Plans to Approach the 2027 Budget The Treasurer will work on the 2027 budget over the summer. The Board expects to review and discuss the proposed 2027 budget at the October Board meeting . One budgeting approach discussed was to use HOA fees only for regular operating expenses. We will have to cut our budget to $455,000 for the next year and likely future years. This will have to look at all expenses, including employees and seasonal adjustments. Under that approach, other revenue sources would be directed toward rebuilding reserves and funding future capital needs. Possible reserve-building revenue sources discussed included: Storage lot fee increases. Golf cart or golf course-related fees. Green fees or golf memberships. Other amenity or user fees. Sponsorships, such as benches or golf hole sponsorships. A possible buy-in fee for new home buyers. The Board also discussed the need to review expenses carefully and not rely only on asking residents to pay more. The goal for 2027 budgeting is to identify both: Reasonable cost-saving measures. Responsible ways to increase revenue and rebuild reserves. Special Assessment Discussion A special assessment was discussed as a last resort, not the first option. A special assessment would require approval from 51% of all homeowners . That means 157 yes votes would be needed. The Board recognized that this would be difficult and that residents do not want a special assessment unless absolutely necessary. Bottom Line The Board approved approximately $145,000 in road preservation and repair work because road conditions and future road costs are a major concern. The Association’s reserves are expected to drop to approximately $75,000 after major capital projects. Current HOA fees do not fully cover annual operating expenses, and the allowed annual increase of $45 per home generates only about $14,000 . The 2027 budget process will focus on controlling expenses, identifying new revenue sources, and rebuilding reserves for future road, irrigation, and emergency building needs. Residents should expect continued discussion this fall about the 2027 budget, reserve planning, and possible revenue or fee changes. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas they have observed work in other HOAs, please let us know. We are open to anything at this point. We just want to ensure this community is in a good financial position moving forward. Thank you for your attention. - Lisa Seiser Board President SEPO BOARD MEETING (Regular): Mon, Apr 13, 2026 @ 1 PM Video (Bef Employee Portion) Video (Employee Portion) Back to Top

Minutes of the Meeting of the Board of Directors March 18, 2019 President Richard Shelton convened the Board Meeting at 1:00 PM. You may lose the Facebook video feed in a few minutes because of a problem with routers. We are working with a computer specialist to correct this situation. Members of the Board present: Richard Shelton, Lyn Swonger, Frank Tewell, Mark Owen, John Chajec, Clint Wunderlich. Minutes of the Last Meeting: Richard Shelton moved that we dispense with the reading of the minutes from the last annual meeting, as they have been posted in the office. Seconded and approved. Treasurers Report: Mark Owen - Mark stated he was working on reformatting the financial statements to make it easier for future board members to understand, changing the expense statements to a monthly vs. a yearly format and making adjustments to the financials per audit committee suggestions. No financial statement available until the accountant completes the 2018 income taxes. Committee Reports: Architectural Committee: Jim Kennedy was questioned at the Architectural meeting about the impact, if any, the failed covenant change had on fences. Dick Shelton explained that the covenant ballot was a clarification of the existing covenant. The covenants remain the same as before the vote. Dick Shelton assured the committee that the procedure for Architectural request remains the same as in the past. If the ACC refuses to approve a request, it may then be taken to the board by the homeowner and becomes the board responsibility. Neighborhood watch: Lenore Combs – Front gate code change is still a problem because Alamo Door had not responded to their request for assistance. A new light and camera was installed at the entrance to Encore. Per agreement SCCE will reimburse some expenses, no dollar amount was given at this time. Note will be sent to HFD and EMT’s, as requested, notifying them we have an AED. Lenore requested reimbursement of $90 for red envelopes and printing to replace the Vial of Life. Board approved reimbursement. Vendor tags – It is the homeowners responsibility, not SEPO, to make sure the contractors have proper insurance and qualification. Homeowner will then give Lenore the necessary information to obtain Vendor tags from her. Director’s Reports: Common Grounds I – Frank Tewel - TV’s have been installed in Retzlaff Hall. Some exercise equipment is not working and parts have been ordered. AC in Reztlaff Hall is still having problems due to bad breakers and they will be changed. Painting in central area will begin in about a month. Common Grounds II – Clint Wunderlich - Clint is investigating Indiana Circle and other street repairs and has not gone out for bids yet. Common Grounds III – Jerry Utterback - In Jerry’s absence, Lyn Swonger presented Jerry’s plan to improve the shuffleboard area by adding a brick and mortar fence 70’ length and 24” high with a bid coming in at $3150, or vinyl fence 70’ in length x 36” high at $3320. Mark and Lyn did not think we needed it. John disagreed stating we have a $6000 budget for improving the existing shuffleboard court area. It was decided but no action will be taken without his presence. It was also determined that while the shuffle board court can be renovated with the existing budget of $6000, its usage cannot be changed. This is due to the board failing to get resident approval per our bylaws. Golf Course – Lynn Swonger - Golf course equipment is in good shape. This summer, Lyn plans redoing the 4 remaining tee boxes and making a few of the sand traps smaller. He is going to replace the concrete trails that need repair on hole #2 and extend on #7 from the existing path to meet up with the one by the green. New Business: Pickup truck. It was decided to purchase a pickup truck vs. leasing. $1 million liability policy for a year is $1038, included in that amount is $111 for adding the pick up to our $2 million umbrella policy. Thus we have $3 million liability coverage. Suggestion Box: #1 – no more information meetings. Per our covenants, we are required to have 2. It was decided that January and February, due to the election, will be the only info meetings next year. #2 – It was suggested we have a person oversee the use of Retzlaff Hall involving a signed, written agreement in place to prevent theft, damage and condition of the hall and its belongings. #3 – The Hopfner’s speed bump request was denied by the board, and they submitted a letter stating any bills they incur to their property due to flooding and traffic will be submitted to SEPO board for full refund. Dick Shelton responded that SEPO is not responsible for damages and will not be refunding any costs incurred due to this situation. Adjourn: The meeting was adjourned at 1:55 P.M. Respectfully submitted, John Chajec SEPO Secretary ***************************************************************************** Sunshine Estates Property Owners, Inc Minutes of the Annual Meeting February 19, 2019 At 1:00 today Jean Lawrence convened the annual meeting. The residents gathered to form a quorum, and Mr. McEvoy declared that we indeed had a quorum. We reconvened at 3:00pm for our meeting and the results of our election that will fill three positions. Debbie Robins moved that we dispense with the reading of the minutes from the last annual meeting, as they have been posted in the office for the last year. Seconded and approved. Our directors gave us a break down of all that they accomplished in the last year. Common Grounds I-Pat Harvey What got done: 1.) Front gate mechanics and wiring. We replaced the Breaker Boxes and most of the wiring in the area. We also replaced the mechanics which move the gate back and forth. We installed a new wireless keypad, a new sensor in the street and siren operated opener for emergency vehicles. 2.) Traffic Study- In response to the request for speed bumps a radar traffic study was performed. The results, and readings were analyzed by a fully licensed professional and those recommendations were followed. There is more that could have been done in marking the intersection but I leave that to my successor. In addition we now have 3 “NO WAKE” signs to be deployed during the next 16 inch rain event. What did not get done: Indiana Circle. Estimates became more than what was budgeted to do the job well-Rather than spend money on a half hearted job- nothing was spent in 2018 but the budget in 2019 should be adequate to do the job right. There had been 2 half hearted attempts earlier with poor results. My Real accomplishment: It was in early April that the board made a change in employee assignments. The golf course went from three down to two male employees and the third male employee was assigned to groundskeeper duties. That freed the golf course employees from the distractions of day to day odds and ends. Lalo was assigned as grounds keeper and I was his new boss even though he serviced two other board members as well. Most of you have noticed ho much better the grounds have looked this season. This was the subject of discussion of the most recent Birding and Nature club meeting. A envelope was given to Lalo as recognition of a job well done! Common Grounds II Dick Shelton 1.) New AC unit in Retzlaff Hall 2.) New pool pump; cleaned and repaired pool 3.) New gate between pavilion and pickle ball court 4.) sealed pavilion area Common grounds III Clint Wunderlich 1.) Put two drains in for flooding, made sure weeds were sprayed with Lalos help. 2.) Kept track of lots with Valerie 3.) Irene did the work on the memorial garden; I helped as needed. 4.)

Terry Lacy from the Architectural Committee has requested that Kathleen Sumner; a year-round resident, be appointed to the committee. Motion approved and carried. Neighborhood Watch meeting will be on the 19th of February. Special request to speak at the board meeting: 1.) Mr. Lawrence brought up the problems regarding the memorial committee. As it stands, the only way a resident would get into the memorial book would be to have someone donate in their memory. We think that everyone who passes away should appear in it. It was left that Jean Lawrence would speak with Eileen Anderson, President of women’s club. 2.) Debbie Robins has asked for approval to install two TVs in the Hall. The units will be used for our enjoyment! It will not be used for personal use. It will be used for group functions where everyone is invited. 3.) Lenore Combs She spoke about the gate code change. (You can find the new code in the 'Resident's Only' section of the Web site. She educated us about the envelopes that can be purchased where you can record all your vital info for both human and pets. She will fill us in with more details at the women’s club meeting. Lenore also brought up the topic of communication in regards to the donated benches. 4.) Bob Salmon of 4304 Montana brought up the problem of the stop signs. He would like them all removed at the corner of Montana/Texas/Minnesota. He also said that he can not see past the trees on that corner, but it was measured and the tree in question is 14 feet from the corner and 8 feet from the curb. COMMON GROUNDS I - PAT HARVEY: 1.) Replaced rusted Stop sign post on the corner of Minnesota and Texas Ave. 2.) Constructed 3 'No Wake' signs, and came in under budget. COMMON GROUNDS II - DICK SHELTON: 1.) Dick is looking into the air conditioner in the kitchen, it was said that the vents were not working. 2.) There will be a gate installed between the pool, pavilion and the meeting room that will lead to the tennis/pickleball courts. COMMON GROUNDS III - CLINT WONDERLICH: 1.) We have a couple of openings in the storage area. 2.) Clint wants to remind everyone that when their year comes to an end in the storage compound you will have to sign your contract before you pay for the next year's rent. GOLF COURSE - LYN SWONGER: 1.) The project on #4 came in under budget. 2.) Lyn will produce a rental agreement for the board regarding the truck. President Jean Lawrence has asked our employees to be at the 3:00 Annual meeting on February 19th for recognition. We have decided that it would be in Valerie’s best interest that she attend the board meetings. This will help her in her everyday decision making and communication with all residents and board members. A motion was brought to the floor regarding Donations to SEPO… 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 of 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 it's 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. This motion was approved and passed. FROM THE SUGGESTION BOX: 1.) It was suggested that the library needs a little sprucing up! The office area is so bright and cheery, and we would like to see the same brightness added to the walls in the library. 2.) It was asked to have a larger cork board installed for the “homes for sale”. 3.) There was a comment regarding the C.A.R.E program, and that question will be answered at the next meeting when we all vote on it. 4.) There was a suggestion that Michigan Ave become a one way circle.

All members of the Board were present. The minutes of the December 10th meeting were presented they were moved and seconded as approved. Motion carried. John Chajec shared the financial reports and they were moved and seconded as approved. Motion carried. Clint Wunderlich motioned to have our “CD fund” of $254,917.34 to be labelled as a “Reserve Fund”. The motion was moved and seconded by Pat Harvey. Motion carried. Meaning that the monies in the reserve fund can only be used for replacing a building, fixing roads or any major repair. It can not be dipped into for regular operating expenses. Please visit www.sunshinecountryclub.com/residents-only for total financial reports for 2018 bank totals as of 12-31-2018 and the SEPO over budgeted accounts. John Chajec was complemented on a job well done with transparency and all his hard work. Committee Reports nothing to report. Special requests to speak at the board meeting: Myra Boykin spoke again about her problem with her fence being built on the easement. Pat made it perfectly clear that the fences that are on the golf course now will be taken down when they decide to sell their home. Myra was told if she lived in her home for the next twenty years she could keep her fence, BUT, because she is selling her home now, the fence will need to be taken down. Jean reminded Myra that the board is standing on our decision. We have taken an oath to uphold the Bylaws and covenants. Hal Hophner presented the info on the gate. A sticker in the windshield will be read and the gate will open. We will not need a new gate, just the computerized system and a cell box. Maintenance is done by computer. Everyone will have their own number assigned to their home so that people can look you up in the directory. There will be a gentleman come to the information meeting on the 8th of January to answer any questions we may have. DIRECTORS REPORTS By Laws and Covenants: Pat Harvey has put forth an amendment to clean up the wording so that there will not be any more problems with the “FENCE” issue. The amendment to the ACC section B of the covenants will state…”No fence will be constructed or maintained within the rear yard or side yard setback or easement for any lot whose rear yard abuts the golf course”. Remember that this is only for homes that abut the golf course. Motion moved and seconded to amend the wording to ACC section B of the covenants. Motion carried. Treasurer - John Chajec: Please see www.sunshinecountryclub.com/residents-only for up to date financial reports and 2018 over budget accounts. Common Grounds 1 - Pat Harvey: Pat spoke about the speed bumps and stop signs. He mentioned that golf carts are the culprits. Generally speaking we all need to slow down. The board has approved a three way stop at Minnesota/Texas Ave/ Montana. Debbie Robins believes the speed/and stopping problem comes from Minnesota, and would like a three way stop on both sides of Minnesota where Michigan joins. There will also be three “NO WAKE” signs (Texas Ave, Montana and Minnesota) that will be put out in the middle of three streets during times of heavy rain. A full time resident will be responsible for putting the signs in place in the middle of the street. The cost would be aprox 200-300 dollars. Jean will be contacting the irrigation people regarding the south side drainage. If there were a box culvert in there the water would drain away faster. We can not be restricting the water. Common Grounds II - Dick Shelton: Dick is looking into getting an extended warranty for the new air system. Common Grounds III - Clint Wunderlich: Clint still has a couple of spots open in the back area for those of you needing space. Golf Course - Lyn Swonger: The ball washers are painted and repaired; new flags and towels are now being used. From the Suggestion Box There was a question regarding Resaca water. Just to let everyone know that we are charged by the acreage and by how many spigots we have, not by the usage. Who’s responsibility is it to open Library on the weekends? Usually one door is open, feel free to call a board member if the library is locked. There has been another request for a wall of honour to honour our veterans of war and other service members. Jean will be contacting you to get that going. We will have a busy day at our Annual meeting. As you all know we have three positions to be filled on the board this year. The nominating committee, Buzz Sawyer, Mari Tennant and Vince Smith have fulfilled their duties and have brought three candidates to the floor.

Back to Top Board Mtg (2018-12-10) ***************************************************************************** Sunshine Estates Property Owners, Inc Minutes of the Meeting of the Board of Directors December 10, 2018 President Jean Lawrence convened the Board Meeting at 1:00PM The Members present were Jean Lawrence, Clint Wunderlich, Dick Shelton, Lyn Swonger, Pat Harvey and Deb Robins. Not present was John Chajec. The Minutes of the last Meeting of November 12,2018 were approved and all were in favor of this approval. A conversation took place regarding the replacement of three Board openings. Buzz Sawyer is head of the Nomination Committee and will be contacting you! Please lend him and ear and take this opportunity to apply. We need new people. Jean made sure that people knew that just because a position is up for grabs doesn’t mean that you will fill it. There will be a meeting of all the Board members to decide who will take on what position, and that could mean that the duties may change. Chuck McEvoy has accepted the position on the Election Committee. SPECIAL REQUESTS TO SPEAK AT MEETING 1. Myra Boykin has requested to have her letters to be posted on SunshineCountryClub.com web site, under the owners info tab. She feels that all property owners names should be listed too. 2. Hal Hophner would like to see speed bumps placed on Texas Ave and Minnesota St. His water damage was caused by waves of water, people driving to fast through the water. A three way stop was talked about too. Three sets of speed bumps were requested, Hal is going to gather all info and forward it to Jean so that we can make a sound decision. 3. Hal Hophner and Mel Wendel spoke about the front gate. The Question was asked, Why do we have a closed gate to protect the sheds and motor homes where the work shop is, while we have three hundred homes that are not gated. Hal and Mel have three different gate systems. They educated us on the options. Hal and Mel will narrow it down to one option; present it to the board and come up with a game plan to educate SSCC home owners. DIRECTORS REPORTS COMMON GROUNDS 1 -Pat Harvey The Carved Log on Texas Ave has been removed, a committee of the Bird and Nature Club is considering what to put in it’s place. A sump pump for Minnesota ditch has been replaced this past month. Please take the time to see if your sprinklers are over watering, this would be so helpful. We purchased a normal walk behind mower for use in places that the larger mowers can’t. Lastly, the visible water along Texas Ave has disappeared!!!!!!! COMMON GROUNDS II -Dick Shelton The New air unit in Retzlaf hall is up and working. COMMON GROUNDS III -Clint Wunderlich He is looking for two spots for sheds. Myra Boykin has volunteered her spot and is willing to move their motor home to another spot. GOLF COURSE -Lyn Swonger We purchased a box blade for $600. Found the problem on #2, and put in a drain. TREASURE -John Chajec John sent out his financial report and it was approved and carried. He also sent out a covenant change to be approved by the board and placed on a ballot for the Feb 2019 meeting. The change is as follows: When this covenant was created, $45 was a 15% increase in the $300 maintenance fees. All covenant changes require a 2/3 majority vote of all lots, one vote per owner to pass. A non-vote is a “NO” vote. Covenant SECTION 4.3 ANNUAL ASSESSMENT Proposed covenant changed: The annual assessment may be increased each year by not more than 5% of annual maintenance fees per year. Any such possible increases in assessments shall be non-cumulative. In any year following a year when there has been no increase, the assessment may not be increased by more than 5%. The annual assessment may be increased each year by not more than 5% per year. CURRENT COVENANT: Annual assessment shall be $300.00 payable $25.00 per month. The annual assessment may be increased each year by not more than $45.00 per year. Any such possible increases in assessments shall be non-cumulative. In any year following a year when there has been no increase, the assessment may not be increased by more than $45.00 that year. John has also submitted the C.A.R.E. fee covenant for approval by the board and placed on a ballot for the Feb 2019 election. It is a charge for NEW Purchasers at closing; equal to a year assessment fee, to be put into a capital equipment fund for improvements to the community. The assessment proposal will hopefully pass, we can only go for so long increasing our assessments by 45$ the next boards coming in will run out of money soon. This is one way of getting ahead of inflation and gain ground on funds for future improvement. OLD BUSINESS Each property owner who has a fence on the golf course that isn’t compliant has been sent a letter. Each letter was the same, explaining that if the fence is on the easement it had to be removed. A letter of apology was going to be hand delivered to the Burneys because their fence IS compliant. They also had an approved plan in their file that is in the office. NEW BUSINESS We wish to have Valerie be a Notary Republic, we will purchase the package and pay the monthly fee. SUGGESTION BOX Two suggestions 1) of “new towels” on the ball washers. Lyn mentioned that they will be repairing some of the ball washers and painting them and that new towels are on that list. 2) People would like to see lights in the fountains on 8/9 pond… They do have lights in them, Lyn is looking into the problem. ***************************************************************************** Sunshine Estates Property Owners, Inc.

Motion to adjourn John Chajec, seconded by Dick Shelton ***************************************************************************** Sunshine Estates Property Owners, Inc. Minutes of the Meeting of the Board of Directors October 22, 2018 President Jean Lawrence convened the Board Meeting at 1:00 PM. The Members of the Board present were Jean Lawrence, Clint Wunderlich, Dick Parrish, John Chajec, Lyn Swonger and Pat Harvey. Dick Shelton was not present. Purpose: This was the regularly scheduled monthly SEPO Board meeting. Minutes of the Last Meeting: The board had previously been sent the minutes of the following board meetings to review; March 12, 2018 and March 27, 2018 along with the minutes from the executive sessions that followed each of those board meetings. Pat Harvey motioned they be approved. John Chajec seconded the motion. All were in favor of approval. New Business - SEPO Community E-mails : Stan Nelson had informed Jean that due to health issues he would like to turn over the responsibility of managing the SEPO news e-mails to someone else. John Chajec volunteered to take this over and will work with Stan on the transition. John anticipated that this will continue as sepoenews@gmail.com and will include everything currently done. UPDATE: Since the meeting Beth Parrish has volunteered to take over all of Stan’s current responsibilities: Community E-mails, Web site and Facebook. She has contacted Stan and will work him with on the transition during November. Retention Pond – Jim Schaub asked to speak to the board about his concerns relating to the retention pond. He called the area a mosquito ranch. He claimed the retention pond was overflowing in the west fenced area used by pet owners due to the city flushing the hydrants of 320,000 gallons of water a month. The board informed him the primary reason for the flooding was the large amount of rain this summer and that the flushing will be reduced as our residents return and begin using city water. A heated discussion followed with Mr. Schaub accusing the board of causing the problem and the board saying it was due to heavy rains. Concerning Mr. Schaub’s issue with mosquitos in that area – Lyn Swonger said we were putting pods in the retention pond to kill the mosquito larvae. The state of TX has also had traps in the area and have not found any mosquitoes that cause zika, malaria etc. Mr. Schaub was not pleased with the board’s responses. He then accused the board of being anti-pet and left the meeting. UPDATE: After the meeting Pat Harvey met with the "Operations Manager" for Harlingen Water. He said the valve has been closed since June 15th, which means there has been no city water put in the pond for the past 4½ months. Rights of residents who don’t own the home they are living in – The following needs to be reviewed by our lawyers for clarification. - We have a homeowner who doesn’t live in the house she owns but is letting her mother live there. The daughter wrote to the board asking to assign all rights to her mother regarding the property. Per the Covenants the mother already has right to all Estates amenities as if she were a renter. What the daughter is asking is that her mother have the right to make changes to the property via the Architectural Committee. The board does not believe, per our Covenants, that anyone other than the Owner of the property can vote or request changes to the property. The board will follow-up on this with our lawyer, Randy Freeble. This led to a discussion of the fence which the mother requested be put up this summer via the Architectural Committee and was rejected. She appealed the decision to the board. The board also rejected it and subsequently put a moratorium on any new fence requests until the board returned to the Estates this fall and could research the issue. However, the mother put up the fence anyway. The board agreed at the meeting to notify the property owner of their non-compliant property. And following a grace period to Dec. 1, 2018 the owner will be fined $5 per day until the property is brought into compliance. Any unpaid penalty balance at the end of each non-compliant month will be accrued at 18% per annum. As per our Covenants and By-Laws we have the right to put a lien on the property. Pat Harvey made a motion to proceed with the above and Clint Wunderlich seconded it. The motion was unanimously carried. Fences – There was a discussion of other properties that have fences in violation of the Covenants. 4165 N Missouri has a fence which was never submitted to the Architectural Committee for approval. There are two other fences in violation which were previously approved but should not have been. The board decided that in order to not propagate the non-compliant property to an unsuspecting purchaser, the owners must correct the non-compliancy before the property can be sold. We will send a letter to these residents who have non-compliant fences telling them they can keep the fences as long as they are here, but must remove them prior to selling to a new owner. We will not process the paperwork until the fence is removed. Fruit and Unkept Lawns – There were two instances this summer of either fruit on the ground or unkept lawns. Valerie notified Jean and the property owners were each given two weeks to remedy the situation. One was contracted out and the other was done by our employees and the residents were each billed $75. February Board Election – We need new board members in February. The terms of Jean Lawrence and Pat Harvey will be up and there will be an opening as the result of Dick Parrish’s resignation. Jean will see if Mel Wendel will chair the nominating committee again. If not, the board will need to find someone to chair it. Director’s Reports: a. John Chajec – Treasurer : Financial Report - The balances are as follows: Wells Fargo Checking - $58,049.50 (Bills are paid from here) California First National Bank - $30,606.12 (Transfers are made from this Money Market account to Checking) Heritage Bank of Minnesota - $101,989.92 (Jumbo Deposit) First Indiana Bank - $964.73 6 mo CD due in February - $253,668.5. Total Cash Balance - $442,278.78 It was noted that spending is very close to what was budgeted. John has sent out e-mails to all residents on how we are performing to budget on our various accounts. If anyone did not receive those e-mails or has questions they can contact John. The work John has done and continues to do has corrected many of the discrepancies in the accounting in order to help better manage the spending. Overall spending should be within budget for 2018. Clint Wunderlich made the motion to approve the Financial Report through the end of September. Lyn Swonger seconded the motion. It was approved unanimously. 2019 Budget – The board needs to have a budget planning session before the Nov. meeting. It was set for Monday, Oct. 29 at 1 PM in the multi-purpose meeting room. Prior to this meeting John needs to have in writing from each board director any changes in the budget or new equipment not in the 2018 budget. The following are some items the directors are currently aware of. Clint – He has been requested by homeowners to put additional benches in the Tennis/Pickleball courts area. Lyn said Clint could take a couple from the golf course as they have too many. Shuffleboard Courts – The board discussed converting part of the courts to a Bocce Ball court and/or Bean Bag Toss. The remaining shuffleboard court(s) and the sun shades are in need of repair. Clint will start investigating all of this. Lyn - He has a need for several tasks/equipment: Repair four tee boxes for around $5200. A backhoe attachment for the tractor for multi-purpose use. A new greens mower at about $12,000 - $13,000. A new zero-radius mower. (current one is 13 yrs old) Need to increase the electrical budget to reflect what we are actually being charged. Pat – There was discussion about the circular end of Indiana Circle and the need to either repair it correctly ($30,000) or just leave it alone as it will not get any worse. Past due Maintenance Fees - John has sent out notices to a few residents who are past due on their maintenance fees. Per our Covenants an 18% per annum penalty will be charged to homeowners not paying on time. Liens - Two homeowners have been notified of the following; (1) A lien has been placed on one property along with the 18% per annum penalty, (2) There is one additional property which we may place a lien on unless payment is made promptly. b. Dick Parrish – By-Laws & Covenants : Dick reported that everything is current and posted as of this meeting. He has received a couple of Covenant change suggestions for consideration for a vote at the next Annual Meeting. He will pass those questions/suggestions on to whomever takes over his board position. c. Pat Harvey – Common Grounds I: The front gate has a new Gate Operator from Alamo Door. We have a new breaker box and proximity sensor for opening the gate when ‘leaving’ the estates. The silent operator (yelper) is now installed to allow fire and medical vehicles to sound a siren and open the gate. The change to our employees’ work responsibilities has been working very well. The board decided at the end of March to; (1) terminate the contract for mowing ditches, (2) have one of our employees (Lalo) dedicated to common grounds and (3) have only two employees (Manny and Joe) primarily focused on the golf course. d. Dick Shelton – Common Grounds II: Dick was not at the meeting but it was reported that when the pool temperature was turned down slightly this summer from the 92 degree setting, residents complained so it was turned back up. Jean will contact Dick Shelton to see if he has any projects he is contemplating for next year. e. Clint Wunderlich – Storage Lot & Common Grounds III: The flower beds in the Memorial Garden have been completed. One of the drains in the storage lot was repaired to help alleviate standing water. He needs to repair a couple more. Clint had been keeping up with weed control in the storage lot until the recent rains. He will get back to it after the rains stop. Several board members commented on the noticeable improvement. John Chajec asked if anything could be done to reduce the amount of mud drug out of the storage lot by vehicles after it rains. Clint had some ideas and will pursue this. f. Lyn Swonger – Golf Course: The course is in decent shape and four of the tee boxes have been repaired. Manny is studying to take a test in order to obtain a license required by TX to purchase and apply chemicals to kill crabgrass etc. The state has shut us off from purchasing chemicals other than Round-Up. Joe will also take this test. Lalo will need the same study materials in Spanish. The board approved that purchase at the meeting. Low-rise sprinklers have been installed on the north side of #4 fairway to alleviate the problem of the previous sprinkler over-spraying residents’ homes. The big sprinklers were moved in 60 feet from the property lines. The three affected property owners agreed to pay for half the cost, which was $100 per resident. The same thing was done on #6 and the resident split the cost. A walk-behind weed eater was purchased for $300. It is much faster for trimming around curbs, ditches etc. Some landscaping and sprinkler work was done around the putting greens. The stone wall was rebuilt and solar lights were added along the path to the #1 tee. g. Jean Lawrence – President: Jean conveyed to the residents via the Facebook livestream that the board had to let one of the employees go this summer due to job performance. All guidelines were followed with three separate letters for things not being done correctly. The board followed the Handbook. Subsequently Joe Castillo was hired in late July to work with Manny on the golf course. 3. Committee Reports: There were no Committee Reports. Architectural Committee - Jean expressed a desire for the Architectural Committee to report on activity from the summer. The board had decided over the summer to place a moratorium on any new fence approvals until it was decided how to proceed with certain requests. We still have some issues in this area. The Architectural Committee will be asked to attend the next board meeting. Neighborhood Watch – Lenore could not make the board meeting but will give her report at the Informational Meeting on Oct. 23. Adjourn: Pat Harvey moved to adjourn and go into executive session.

Also, all of the very appropriate artwork that Lenore puts in her articles most every month can’t be sent via the e-mail system either. So this month I have sent a copy to Valerie for the office and have also put it on the Web site, but not into this e-mail. On the Web site you can read it directly from this page – ( www.sunshinecountryclub.com/newsletter ) or you can download it using the ‘here’ link on that page. If anyone has any issues/concerns/questions about the above please don’t hesitate to contact me . Thank You.

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. Hopefully, by the fall we will have the internet problem corrected and everyone will be able to view at home. John Chajec SEPO Secretary BYLAWS OF SUNSHINE ESTATES PROPERTY OWNERS, INC.

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.

Sent 03-04-2019: CORRECTIONS: GUYS & DOLLS GOLF TOURNAMENT - I (Beth) jumped the gun a little too quickly yesterday. But that's just me, always in a hurry to get something done. The tournie committee sent me some additional info/corrections that I missed getting into yesterday's e-mail. Sorry about that. So please read the below. ********** GET READY - on Friday and Saturday March 22nd and 23rd there will be a GUYS and DOLLS golf tournament. Teams will be made up of -- guess -- yes, one male and one female. Sign-up starts on 03-05-19. Play will follow typical scramble format, although rules will be published to avoid any confusion. Three sign-up sheets will be posted in the lounge on March 5th. A team list, for a Guy and a Doll who already know they will play as a team, and fees will be tendered immediately upon signup. (cash) A second list, for an unmatched GUY or an unmatched DOLL. And, a third list, for any Sunshine residents who do not play in the tournament but wish to attend the dinner only . The second (unmatched) list will include space for phone numbers so that teams can be arranged by the individuals. Fees will not be paid until a team is established and the ‘team’ list is signed, and names scratched from the ‘unmatched’ list. Dinner and awards for CTP and score will take place on Saturday (March 23), early evening. The food served, (pre-plated buffet style) will be provided by Dave's BBQ on Commerce street. The $20 golf fee includes the dinner. Residents who wish to come for the ‘dinner only’ are certainly welcome for a cost of $11. Keep your eyes on the Bulletin Boards in the lounge and other Community News sources (e-mail, Web site etc.) for any further details. (Questions?

So I added it to the Web site ( www.sunshinecountryclub.com/special-acty-details ). Please go take a look at it. It is soooo cute. And when I get my project finished I can only hope it looks half that good. Come on out and support Heidi and her new Crafty Creations Club. I know lots of you women raised your hands at the last Women's Club meeting that you wanted her to start this up. Thx. Beth Parrish Back to Top Back to Top
