Kady Pohlmeyer 956-642-6003 ************************* Barbara Ann Carlson Barbara Ann Carlson of Harlingen passed away quietly while surrounded by family on March 16, 2024 at the age of 84. Barb was born the middle of three girls on June 20, 1939 in Peoria, Illinois to the late Hank Zipper and Katherine (McCann) Zipper. She spent most of her childhood playing with her two sisters Carolyn (Wally) Anderson and Bonnielyn (Bill) Witt. She loved playing jacks, kick-the-can, and even playing pranks while growing up. She also enjoyed playing baseball with the team of boys that her dad coached when they were short players. After graduating from Peoria High School in 1957, she worked as a secretary, and then accountant at Hiram Walkers. Barb met Carlton Toby Carlson in June 1958. They were married on Oct. 10, 1959, and honeymooned in New Orleans. The couple then moved to Evanston, Illinois where they had two children: Eric and Kady. In 1966, they moved to Toronto, Canada for two years, where Barb developed a love of the team sport curling. After that, the family settled in Minnetonka, Minnesota. Barb and Toby spent many weekends in northern Minnesota on Howard Lake, first at Moore Springs Resort, and then at her parent’s cabin. There were many fond memories of playing cards, fishing, turtle hunting, and time with her sisters and family. Before retirement, Barb worked as a head bookkeeper for Kraemer’s Hardware, and then at Opportunity Partners, a non-profit foundation. She was also a grief mentor for people who lost family members. Barb loved traveling, which included cruises and trips to Africa, Alaska, Russia, and Asia, amongst many other places. After Toby passed away in 2001, religion and faith became an important part of her life and she was confirmed at Zion Lutheran Church in Hopkins, Minnesota in Nov. 2001. Barb moved to Harlingen in 2011, where she met the second love of her life, Jack Scott. They continued traveling –– going to China to see the Terra Cotta Soldiers, the Panama Canal, and their regular camping trips on South Padre Island. Barb was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Toby, and brother-in-law Wally. The memory of Barb will be cherished by her friend Jack, son Eric (Janet) Carlson, daughter Kady (Terry) Pohlmeyer, grandchildren Bryce (Jenn), Shane (Stephanie), Paige (DJ), Tara (Alex), and Corey, and two great-grandchildren Isla and Quinn. A memorial service will be held at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Harlingen on Saturday, March 23, at 11 a.m., with graveside services at Glendale Cemetery in Washington, Illinois at a later date. Instead of flowers, please donate to St. Paul Lutheran Church Backpacks of Love, an organization Barb regularly supported, at https://splch.breezechms.com/give/online , noting “Give to Backpack Ministry”.

They are still snooping around in the middle of the night checking to see if your car doors are locked and maybe there is other interesting stuff left out. And they are being rewarded because they are so successful. So – as a reminder……. Lights on and Lock up! We shall relive the Sunshine Vehicle Decal Program (previously endorsed by our Board). For several reasons, none worthwhile, it was sort of dropped during COVID times. But the Bad Guys have proven value and the Harlingen Police Department agrees. Jean Burgoine and I will begin this soon. We have decals for the vehicles and for our Golf Carts. Congrats to Mary Grandy and Nancy Johns who recently completed the Citizens Police Academy. Thanks to Carol and Miles who resigned for health reasons and who faithfully patrolled Sunshine for many schedules. And thanks again to those who continue to patrol. I recently completed the Activity/Meeting Request form for our NW-CERT meetings – 3rd Monday every month starting October – June (give or take summer months if necessary).

Beth Parrish SEPO Board Secretary sepoboardbeth@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2021-07-14: Removal of SEPO Property - It has come to the Board’s attention that a false rumor has been circulating in Sunshine concerning materials and properties located within the SEPO Storage Lot shed area, which is located north of W Iowa Ave. Some of the materials stored in this area are sand for our golf course bunkers, rocks, lumber used to create forms for our golf cart pathways and other stone and brick materials. These items are all SEPO property used by the Board Director in charge of the golf course to operate and maintain our Par 3 nine-hole golf course. Recently a resident donated several stone-like concrete blocks to SEPO for use on the golf course. These blocks were placed in this storage area for future use. We were informed someone removed these blocks from the storage area and placed them in their yard. When they were approached, the resident said it was ok to do so because they had been told by other resident(s) that anything in the Storage Lot shed area could be removed and used by any resident. The resident was informed this is not true and the blocks needed to be returned. In conclusion, this is a friendly reminder (or maybe you are hearing it for the first time) that the materials located in the Storage Lot shed area are not available for use by SEPO residents at their home. This material is owned by SEPO and should not be removed.

What I’m proposing ongoing is that the Primary Newsletter Editor: Prepare the SEPO E-News e-mails to send out for – the initial e--mail notice (sent on the 17th) that Newsletter articles are due by the 24th of the Month. the final e-mail notice (sent on the 23rd) that Newsletter articles are due by the 24th of the Month. These e-mails generally don’t change much, if any, from month to month. Once the editor receives an article ensure the sender is notified within 24 hrs that it was received. This is a canned reply to the sender's e-mail. Review the article for content and accuracy of data and work with the sender to get the article finalized. Combine all of the finalized articles and format/create the Newsletter. Send the ‘final’ newsletter document to the SEPO Communications Manager (Beth Parrish) for publication. The Primary Editor will also be responsible for maintaining the Newsletter Guidelines on the Web site. The next steps I’m proposing is that I, Beth Parrish, (as the Secondary Newsletter Editor & SEPO Communications Mgr): Review the final Newsletter sent to me by the Primary Editor. Add any applicable Web site links or anything else that may be applicable (i.e. attachments). Send out the Newsletter to the community via SEPO E-News e-mail prior to the first of the following month. Send the Newsletter to the SEPO Office to be printed and posted in the Library. Post it on the Sunshine Web site HERE . With all of that said, I will be willing to work with the new Primary Editor for as long as it takes for that person to feel comfortable doing her tasks on her own. The first e-mail that needs to be sent soliciting articles doesn’t need to go out until September 17. I would love to start working with a volunteer by September 1, 2021 at the latest .

As you’ve been hearing over the past week or so, this is probably one of the most important ballots you’ve ever been asked to vote on. If you haven’t already received it, you will be getting a letter via USPS from the Board explaining what this ballot is all about. First - What the Election Committee needs is for at least one Sunshine Estates Property Owner member (someone eligible to vote) from each household to review the attached directory to ensure your Sunshine address(s) and your AWAY address (if you have one) are accurate. If the address(s) or ANYTHING ELSE needs corrected, let me know. Second – Provide which mailing address (Sunshine or AWAY ) you want on the outside envelope of your election packet. Any packets not picked up or hand-delivered to you by Jan 13, 2026 will be mailed to you between Jan 14 & 16 via USPS. NOTE: If no address is specified in your reply to this email, the election packet will be mailed to your Sunshine address. FYI: We need the same information for those homes that are in an LLC or currently in a Trust. IN SUMMARY – the Election Committee needs the following info in your reply to this email: Are your address(s) correct? What address should go on the outside envelope of your election packet? Is your ‘other information’ correct? Please reply by noon on Sunday, December 21, AT THE LATEST. Thank you for your rapid reply so that the Election Committee can get to work. - Beth Parrish 2026 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2026sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2025-12-13: MARKET: Homes For Sale or Rent (Weekly Update) - This past week, the following updates were made to Homes for Sale / Rent on the Sunshine MARKET .(https://www.sunshinecountryclub.com/sale-rent-homes ) For Sale Dec 13, 2025 The description for the home at 4232 N Minnesota Street, owned by Freddie Thomas Lucas, has been updated. - Beth Parrish Sunshine Website Admin Email: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2025-12-13: Women's Club meeting Dec 19th, 2025 - 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 Hello ladies of Sunshine Estates!

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

We will also be able to use this format to provide information on what resources are available from the City or other organizations. Please reach out to me directly if you have any questions or are interested in being added to the group. If you are able to provide help to others please let me know so we can add you to the group.

The Web site states: 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. **************************** CLOSED (Sep 19, 2021) **************************** Complaint - Water Behind W IA Ave (Submitted via e-mail on Jul 28, 2021) Complaint - A complaint was submitted via an e-mail to SEPO Board President Tony Tramel. It stated - the ditch behind this resident's house has never been properly maintained, including that it contained standing water where mosquitoes were breeding, for the two years this person has lived in Sunshine. the embankment was rarely mowed, contributing to the mosquito problem, and spraying from the street on a four-wheeler does not address the breeding ground in the ditch. Who has Responsibility - 2021-07-28: SEPO Board P resident Tony Tramel. Status / Action Taken - 2021-07-28 : SEPO Board P resident Tony Tramel acknowledged receipt of the resident's e-mail during his vacation. The resident was informed of the 'formal' process for submitting issues such as this, but was told it wouldn't be necessary to fill out the normal paperwork and that the e-mail would suffice as the submittal of the Complaint. Tony informed the resident he would contact her upon his return the first full week in August. 2021-08-12: Tony attempted on three different occasions (August 7, 10 & 12) via e-mail to set up a date and time to meet with the resident. No reply was ever received from the resident. 2021-09-19: It has been determined by the Board that the resident no longer wishes to pursue the issue. Therefore the Board is considering it CLOSED . The resident has been informed of this action via e-mail. ******************************** COMPLETE (Sep 14, 2021) ******************************** Tree Replacement on Golf Course (Submitted on Jul 28, 2021) Suggestion - It has been suggested that the tree on the back of Tee Box #5, that was lost during the 2021 winter freeze, be replaced. Who has Responsibility - This is being addressed by the Board Golf Course Director - Lyn Swonger. Status / Action Taken - Lyn has spoken to the person who submitted this request and it has been agreed that a new tree will be planted on Tee Box #5.

Who has Responsibility - 2021-08-04: SEPO Board Secretary Beth Parrish solicited input from the Board and it was agreed that this is something that would be best addressed by the Women's Club (WC). Status / Action Taken - 2021-08-21: Beth Parrish sent the Bingo Suggestion to all members of the WC Board and also the WC Activities Director requesting they look into possibly having Bingo at Sunshine. Additional details will continue to be provided as they develop. 2021-08-27: The Women's Club has found out that we will not be able to have Bingo at SEPO because we are a 55+ community, which prohibits us from having Bingo, selling cards or paying out money. It would be considered gambling if we did it. We could only get a one-time license for $25 for a one-time event, but not ongoing. If we were 60+ we would be exempt. 2021-09-07: The composer of this SEPO Suggestion was officially informed today via e-mail by the Board of the Women's Club findings (above) and that the Board was considering this Suggestion CLOSED.

I am desperately looking for volunteers to help make this a wonderful holiday for all those who are staying in the Estates. With many helpers, it is an easy dinner to put on. There is a sign-up sheet in the library area where you can place your name and contact number if you choose to help out. I will be looking for turkey bakers, kitchen help preparing the dressing & gravy, turkey carvers, decorating help, and clean up. If I receive enough help with the preparations, I will post a sign up sheet in the library on November 14th. Cost will be $6 per person and a dish to pass. One person, a dish to feed 6; and couple, a dish for 12. Such items as mashed or sweet potatoes, green beans, corn carrots or other vegetables, cranberry relish, deviled eggs, or other relish tray, or pie/dessert. There will be a women's club box and envelopes to fill out and put your money in. These are considered virtual tickets and we will have a list made up so we know who and how many are coming. The menu will consist of Turkey, Ham, Dressing, and Gravy prepared by the committee. For any new residents, this is a good way to get your "feet wet" and see what it takes to be part of a crew to host a party. Everyone in the Estates is welcome, as well as those family and friends who might be visiting. It is a nice way to enjoy Thanksgiving as a community, without having to do all the cooking and cleaning involved in a home party. I hope you will consider helping in some way to make this event possible for all of our residents. Thank you for your consideration. Cathy Chajec, 708-280-8910 if you have any questions.

In the past when I had my water turned on I would start getting bills at my TX address. This year no bill. I checked online, they now have website ( https://www.townofcombes.com/utilities/ ), and I owe money. When I went to their office to pay my bill I discovered they were sending the bill to my summer address. or the first time in 14 yrs, I filled out an address change to my TX address. If your not getting a bill when you get back you may have the same problem.

Vickie Jones Women's Club Activity Director Sent 2019-11-06: IMPORTANT: Sunday Night Music @ Retzlaff - Additional Details & Request for Assistance Those of you who used to attend the Sunday Night music activity in the past are aware that during the band's break there was Ice Cream (YUM) available for $1. Jean and Denny Eich have agreed, at least for this Sunday, there will be Ice Cream for sale at 7 PM during the band's break. However, if noone steps up to assist the Eich's with this ongoing , this Sunday will be the ONLY Sunday Ice Cream will be served. If several residents volunteer, that means the duties of having the pleasure of meeting new folks and conversing with others you already know - all while serving them a delicious treat - won't be your responsibility every week. It will only be periodically, that is unless you want to do it every week. LOL It is my understanding the duties consist of: purchasing the ice cream making coffee serving the ice cream cleaning up the kitchen afterwards The Ice Cream is a Women's Club activity so please step up and contact the Women's Club president Eileen Anderson at 507-317-0296 if you would like to volunteer.

While we are now fortunate to have Lalo available to do the careful mowing / trimming, the bulk of the maintenance for that area has been the responsibility of the Birding and Nature club / enthusiasts (BNE). Part of that is the care of the flower beds around the Gazebo. The flower beds are planted with two varieties of material that are quite hardy here in south Texas and require relatively little attention. They do need a little hand weeding and perhaps other TLC from time to time. The beds are covered by dedicated sprinklers, on a timer, so watering is not a problem. So – If you have a semi-green thumb and a couple of hours a month you would be willing to donate, Please let me know. Many Thanks for thinking about it. Pat Harvey – VP BNE patharvey4169@gmail.com Sent 2019-11-05: PAINT CAN DISPOSAL - We have been finding paint splashes on the streets and some residents have paint splashes on their cars. It has been determined that the paint is being splattered throughout the Estates by the garbage trucks. Unfortunately, the root cause is the way we and/or construction workers are disposing of paint cans. There will be construction throughout most of the season so please use proper ‘paint can disposal’ methods. Any paint in the can should be allowed to dry by removing the cover. Only when the paint is dry should the cover be put back on and the can thrown in the garbage.

Therefore the hole-in-one I made on 10/31/23 was NOT eligible for the payout. Because of this I have returned the payout and those who have submitted their $2 shall have the choice of getting it refunded or remain on the books as paid in advance for the next hole-in-one. Let me know which you prefer. I apologize for the inconvenience. - Dan Boardman Sent 2023-11-15: Women’s Club Meeting - Don’t Forget! This Friday Morning 9am is our next Women’s Club meeting.

An inspiration there will be donuts and hopefully coffee. Meeting will be held regardless of the golf course remaining closed.

Please stay until we know all have been assigned a team/hole. Meetings are important to attend and to have everyone's attention to go over the year's set dates, events, to answer any questions, reports to be given and to welcome our newest members as well as our established members. Please plan to attend. Let's make this a fun year let's all work together to make this happen. A reminder fees are due of $25.00, if not paid please plan to pay your fee's, for those who have not paid. Small bills are welcome, 1's if able.
