S EPO Community E-Mails: September 2021 Sent 2021-09-29: MARKETPLACE: Any Updates Needed? - In looking at the Household+ Marketplace pages on the Web site I was wondering if there are any updates that need to be made. Beth Parrish SEPO Web site Admin E-Mail: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2021-09-29: SEPO Suggestion COMPLETED: Community Divided & No New Covid-19 Mandates Needed - One of our Sunshine residents submitted a SEPO Suggestion/Complaint/Idea form stating they felt the community is divided and assaulting each other and they didn't feel mandates to segregate vaccinated vs unvaccinated persons within the community were necessary. The Board is working to resolve any issues that may be causing residents to feel the community is divided and assaulting each other. If anyone is saying there are forthcoming mandates to segregate vaccinated vs unvaccinated persons within the community, that is definitely not the case. It is only rumor. The resident has been informed of this and the Board thanks the resident for their input. To see details concerning this and other residents' input click HERE . SEPO Board Sent 2021-09-28: Additional Street Construction/Repairs in Sunshine - The minutes from the Sep 23, 2021 Board meeting are not yet ready for distribution. But we wanted to give everyone an update on the ongoing street construction on W Indiana Circle and the street repairs that started today on W Michigan Ave. Sorry this didn't go out sooner, but everything happened very quickly this week concerning the street repairs. At the 09-23 meeting Larry Keller had asked the Board to consider appropriating a maximum of $20,000 to remove and repair defective asphalt pavement, including but not limited to W Michigan Ave, W Iowa Ave, N Missouri St and seal coating the outer edges of W Texas Ave. He proposed we use the same company, D & J Site Construction, that has been working on W Indiana Circle as they were still onsite and we had established a good relationship with them. The Board approved Larry's request. Tony talked to the contractor and he was able to start on road repair work on W Michigan today. Owners on W Michigan are able to work around this construction by parking their vehicles next to the tennis courts. A 2-pass seal coat is scheduled for W Indiana Circle, which will require the entire street to be closed for 3 days. W Indiana Circle residents will be notified as the contractor prepares for this effort next week. If weather holds off, the Contractor may finish this repair work on W Michigan and W Indiana Circle in the next 2-3 weeks or less. Larry Keller and Tony Tramel SEPO Board Sent 2021-09-28: O'Clockers Golf - Our evening (O'Clockers) golf scramble will change times starting Sunday October 3rd.

Michael Brooks, NW HPD District Representative Dear NW-CERT Volunteers and Friends, The July Patrol is posted in the Library. I believe it is up to date reflecting a few changes for vacation etc. A special THANKS for a job well done under adverse conditions. Patrols are vital to our NW mission. However, you are number ONE. If you cannot perform a patrol, please, if possible, at least try to check and lock up the buildings. Having said that, the mosquitos are out in force - do not place your health at risk. Hopefully they will be a force to keep the Bad Guys at bay. Any concerns, call me. The treasure hunters will be enticed to check out our flooding situation. Please be on alert – they are trespassing and they are stealing. Mario did brakes and bushings on the McGruffmobile. There are new flashlights. Let me know what you think. If something is of concern, call me. Keep communication open. These next few months will be a clean-up area and there will be lots of imitation contractors. Don’t be sweet talked into a deal. Please check with your insurance and make sure you are arranging repairs safely, that are reimbursable by your insurance and that the vendor is covered. Some of these Bad Guys are well schooled in “nice”. By hook or by crook, all of you are responsible for the safety and security in Sunshine. If you see somethig g– say somethin!. Tell Valerie, a Board member or me – or the Cops. The Board, your NW – CERT Team, the Harlingen Police, the Combes Police all have our backs. Say a prayer of thanks for them. * Combes residents - Chief Quill wants you to register (flood damage etc.) at their City Hall today ! OK – something fun!

Marian Young Thanks to the other committee members: Eileen Anderson, Sue Swidryk, Lehua Keller, and Pam Lacy Sent 2021-02-02: Mardi Gras: Let's Have a "Follow the Leader" event - MARDI GRAS: FOLLOW THE LEADER 16 FEBRUARY 2021 Mardi – is French for “Tuesday” and Gras means “Fat”. Carnival is another common name for Pre-Lenten festivities because in Latin carnelevarium means to take away or remove meat. Dear Friends, Mark your calendars for Tuesday - 16 February 2021. Our Women’s Club is the sponsor and Eileen Anderson and Marian Young are points of contact. Looking for lots of volunteers and great ideas – contact Eileen at 507 317 0296 and or Marian 719 468 4556. Eileen and Marian can plan a meeting. * This is an initial announcement for this Mardi Gras event – so start forming your ideas and Krewes - do your colors. Prizes will be awarded. Here’s a little history to get you in the spirit. Mardi Gras, is traditionally celebrated as “Fat Tuesday” before Ash Wednesday and is the start of Lent. It is a tradition dating back thousands of years to pagan spring and fertility rights. The first Mardi Gras took place in March 1699 when French explorers landed in New Orleans where they held a small celebration dubbed Port du Mardi Gras. In the decades that followed, New Orleans and other French settlements began marking the holiday with street parties, masked balls and lavish dinners. In 1857, a secret society of New Orleans businessmen called the Mistick Krewe of Comus organized a torch-lit Mardi Gras procession with marching bands and rolling floats setting the tone for future public celebrations. These iconic colors have meaning – Purple is for justice, gold is power and green stands for faith. Since then, these krewes have remained a fixture of the Carnival scene including throwing beads, wearing masks, decorating floats and eating King cake. Let’s add Sunshine to the map!

Nominating Committee Activity for 2026 Election Nominating Committee Process Guide Back to Nominating & Election Committees Index ANNOUNCEMENTS ETC. PERTAINING TO THE "2026 NOMINATING COMMITTEE" ACTIVITIES ARE BELOW. Sent 2025-12-27: 2026 SEPO Board Nomination Committee: Nominees Announcement - The SEPO Board Nomination Committee, consisting of Patricia Lay (Chairperson) and Joanne Anderson, are pleased to submit the following Nominees names, in alphabetic order , for the 2026 SEPO Board of Directors election. These SEPO Homeowners have met the requirements and are in good standing in the Sunshine Estates Community. All Nominees have been interviewed by one or more Nominating Committee members and were considered by this Committee for nomination based upon their responses to the questions asked of them. We have attached the BIOs we received from each Nominee. During the January 5, 2026 SEPO “Residents & Directors” meeting the Nominating Committee will move that the SEPO Board place the names of these nominees on the 2026 ballot. Phillip Lay William Petersen Tracy Wagner This announcement, along with the Nominees’ BIOs, will be posted outside the SEPO Office today and can be found on this website HERE . Please contact Patricia Lay (Chairperson) with any questions. 425-275-2309 Sent 2025-12-09: ANNOUNCEMENT: SEPO Board Nominating Committee Roster & Request for Potential Candidates - The 2026 SEPO Board Nominating Committee chairperson was officially approved by the Board of Directors at the Board Meeting on Monday, Dec 8, 2025. 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. Thank you all in advance for your consideration.

Activities: Special (2026-2027 Winter Season) Additional Details Resident Photos (2026-2027) *************** UPCOMING (2026/2027) Resident Photos Newsletter 2026-03: Resident Picture Directory - Back in November when I was filling in for Valerie during her vacation, a representative from Universal Church Directories stopped in to talk about creating a photo directory for our community. I took all the information, thinking that this would be a wonderful thing to do during our 2026-2027 season (our last directory was done in 2020-2021). I presented this project to the SEPO board at the February 9th board meeting, and it was approved as a SEPO sponsored event. At the Women’s Club meeting on February 20th, I talked about this project hoping to get a committee started. A huge thank you to Judy Stone and Jill Ventrello for chairing this project. Here is a summary of the details we know now: Dates of photo sessions: several days in both December 2026 & January 2027 (exact dates TBD). Every household photographed by Universal will receive a FREE 8 X 10 portrait and directory booklet. Universal will provide a professional studio right here in our community. If you have pets, you are allowed to include them in your photo(s). Bring props that express you and your personality such as instruments, sports equipment and hobby items. The photo you pick for the directory booklet will also be posted on our community website under the secure resident section. This photo directory project is open to homeowners and renters – we hope all of you will participate in getting your photo taken. Stay tuned for more details to be announced in future newsletters, emails, and Facebook postings. - Tracy Wagner, SEPO Treasurer

This is a 27-hole, 3-day golf scramble, with an awards dinner on Saturday evening. We have had more than 180 people participate in this event in the past. It is a fun tournament for 55+ aged persons. Each year we encourage Sunshine Country Club residents to participate in any way they are most comfortable. We know that everyone is not a golfer, but this event is a perfect way to get involved in our community and “Let the Sunshine In!” Although the GNDGT Committee will purchase many gifts for the Award Dinner, in the past, we asked residents to consider preparing a gift basket and donating it for the drawing/awards dinner. Gift baskets have been a great success as a personal prize during the awards dinner. Many residents donated these baskets, which the recipients greatly appreciated during the drawing. This year we would also like to open the possibility of Donations. If you would like to participate with a donation, here are some ideas: Gift baskets valued at $25- $50, filled with “new items,” (In past years, many of the baskets were filled with items of their favorite sports team or “New” items purchased from any local retailer or even your hometown). You might consider donating a Gift Card. You can donate any amount from local retailers, including restaurants. Direct monetary donations are also welcome; don’t hesitate to contact the committee chair to make this happen. Gift baskets and other donations must be received before the March 2nd event date. Our goal is to have fun before and during this event! Don't hesitate to contact the GNDGT Chairperson, Tony Tramel, at 337-693-6344 or trtramel@gmail.com regarding donations and/or other questions.

Many residents had questions, suggestions, opinions etc. during the Information meeting. Several residents stated the ‘rumors’ they were hearing around the community. We hope residents left the meeting feeling prepared to vote on the proposed ballots. This meeting was not on Google Meet, and therefore, not recorded. We are asking those in attendance to assist in answering questions etc and clearing up rumors they have heard from their friends and neighbors. In fact, the final statement at the meeting was from a resident asking the attendees to do just that. As was stated during the meeting, these ballots are not proposals to benefit the Board. They are not ‘for’ the Board. They are proposals from the Board that we hope you believe will benefit the entire community. The ballots have been on the Web site for a few days now HERE . PLEASE NOTE: These ballots have not yet been delivered to Owners. The Board will be taking one final look at them during the Jan 10 Board meeting. It’s possible some modifications may be made, before turning them over to the Election Committee to start processing them.

(The following information is presented in chronological order within EACH Committee.) Election Committee Activity for 2022 Election Nominating & Election Committees Index Nominating Committee Activity for 2022 Election (In Process) ELECTION COMMITTEE ACTIVITY MMM DD,2022: ?? This section needs to be updated. Election Committee Activity for 2022 Election Nominating Committee Activity for 2022 Election (In Process) NOMINATING COMMITTEE ACTIVITY Sent via SEPO E-News 2021-12-27: SEPO Board Nomination Committee Candidate Announcement - The SEPO Board Nomination Committee, consisting of Cathy Richmond (Chairperson), Jerry Drost, Share Nelson, Kathleen Sunders and Nancy Steele, are pleased to submit the following Candidate names in alphabetic order for the 2022 election of the SEPO Board of Directors. All of the Candidates have been interviewed by one or more Nominating Committee members and were considered by this Committee for nomination based upon their responses to the questions asked of them. We are pleased to announce the SEPO Residents who met the requirements and are in good standing in the Sunshine Estates Community. We encourage the current Board of Directors to include their names in the 2022ballot. The Nominating Committee will make that motion during the January 2022 Board of Directors Nominations meeting. Randy Davis David Fleiner Mark Owen Tony Tramel This list of candidates is currently posted outside the SEPO Office. Please contact Cathy Richmond (Chairperson) with any questions (303)990-2730 Nov 15, 2021: 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. There are three (3) positions to fill for the forthcoming SEPO Board election in February 2022. If you would like consideration and possibly be recommended by the Nominating Committee as a SEPO Board Candidate, please contact any member to set up an interview. Cathy Richmond SEPO Nominating Committee Chairperson Nov 15, 2021: Why Become an HOA Board Member - If you are undetermined as to whether you would like to serve on the SEPO Board, please ask yourself the following: Do you have great ideas about how your community can be managed more efficiently? Would you like to become more involved in your HOA’s daily operations? Do you have the time, dedication, and enthusiasm to regularly volunteer your skills for the benefit of your community? If so, then you’re a perfect Candidate to run for a seat on the SEPO Board of Directors. If you’re still on the fence about whether or not to run, here are three reasons you should take the leap and “Become a SEPO Board member”. You’ll help to protect your investment. Board members are tasked with making important decisions on behalf of the homeowners’ association. These decisions have a major impact on the future of the community. You’ll make your community a nicer place to live. In addition to administrative and operational tasks board members can act to enrich community life through events and activities offered to the residents. You’ll bring valuable skills to the table. Your life skills and interests may be a good fit for the Board. Social skills, hobbies and training you have received all may be used in your role as a Board member to benefit the community. Running for a seat on your Board of Directors is a major decision. Before making a commitment, attend a few Board meetings to get a sense of how they operate. Reach out to current or past Board members and ask about their experiences and what they have learned. Also from them you can get a run-down of what would be expected of you in your new role. If occupying a seat on the SEPO Board of Directors sounds like a fun and challenging opportunity, please reach out to the Nominating Committee and they will assist you with the steps to take to get started.

Media System Use Guidelines - Retzlaff Hall (Revised January 26, 2020) If you are going to use Retzlaff Hall for an event, it must be reserved ahead of time through the SEPO Office Manager so as to avoid event conflicts. Any event utilizing the Retzlaff Media System must be open to the community to attend. No personal or private party use allowed. Information about events must be: Sent to the community via SEPO E-News ( sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com ). Posted on the Web site HERE . If you wish to do so, posted in the Library/Lounge. The Media system consists of: 2 TVs A DVD player Surround Sound (a sound bar and a floor speaker) An antenna for local TV stations Remotes: The two TVs run off the same remote. Sound (via the sound bar) has its own remote. The DVD player has its own remote. You need to make sure you are close enough to the piece of equipment you are wanting to turn on or off. The remotes will be on the shelf along with the Sound Bar. They will be stored there, but if they are abused, we will look at a "sign-out system" for future users. To help you get acquainted with the system, a very simple guide has been created and is posted in Retzlaff Hall by the Media System and can be found on the Web site HERE . The Media committee members (Deb Robins, Roy Robins and Wade Prater) have also volunteered to go over it with any resident if needed. There should be no need for the equipment manuals. However, they will be stored in the office. If you would like to print a copy of these Use Guidelines, click on the icon below. Media System Guidelines (01-26-2020) Back to Top
