In Memoriam Tributes 2021 Marian Seelye (September 8, 2021) It is with a sad heart to announce the passing of Marian Seelye, mother of JoAnne Anderson, and past resident of Sunshine. Marian had just come to stay with JoAnne and ultimately make a trip here. Marian laid down for a nap, JoAnne went to check later and she had gone peacefully with the Angels. Marian was special - she was the SCCE Choir Director several years ago for many years and assisted putting on many wonderful shows here, especially at the holidays. She also had her Choir group sing occasionally with the Sunday Night Sunshine Jammers and was a presence in many of Lassey's productions. And she made some great dishes for our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. We will miss you but remember the "Good Old Days". God Bless American and God bless you and your family. Condolences can be sent to JoAnne Anderson (daughter) 22931 185th Street Detroit Lakes, MN 56501 Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 2020 Steve Phillips (May 3, 2020) Sorry for short email earlier, not thinking real clear. If I may share some more... " My husband, Steve, passed away hours ago....Saturday night. He had another pulmonary embolism, he had one about five years ago. He has not felt good for weeks, but the Dr couldnt do a MRI because of covid. (Only emergencies, and his wasnt at the time) I dont know that they would have discovered it if so, but they did last time. I followed the ambulance to the hospital, and was with him about a hour before the Drs told me there was nothing they could do, and he was gone. He passed in the ambulance, but they recovered him, only to lose him in the hospital. The Drs said he had huge blood clot in both lungs and kidney failure. I'm still in shock. (I have asked family not to travel here, as it would be devastating to cause covid virus in anyone) Steve and I were very private people, but we dearly love our family and friends...in Texas and Oklahoma, also our dear friends we have made in Harlingen. Steve was incredibly proud of being the President of the men's golf here in Sunshine Country Club Estates and his three best buddies he golfed with daily. Also, his music making pal Wade, who would attest to what an amazingly gifted musician Steve was. Steve was the smartest person I've ever known and I will cherish our ten years together. We rock and rolled many nights away. His best friends in Dallas enjoyed his musical talents long before I met him, and were like family to him (and me). I dont imagine there will be a service here, with covid virus...but in about a month I will take his ashes/remains to Dallas, hopefully, and celebrate his life with friends and family there. I'm so sorry Steve's son, Jonathan has lost his father, along with Jonathan's wife and four children, and his other family members. Also, my family will miss him dearly. Ten years can make a lifetime of memories, and it did. Please be patient if I dont answer calls or the door too quickly, I am still trying to figure out what life is now, and that will take some time. We all have losses, recovering from them is an individual journey. My # is 214 549 3993 if any questions. Tomorrow seems far away right now. ♡ Irene Phillips Back to Top

Beth Parrish 2025 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2025sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2025-01-16: SEPO Election: Meet & Greet recording - Concerning the SEPO 2025 Election Meet & Greet today, I want to thank: Share Nelson for running this session for me all of the speakers those of you who attended the Women's Club for providing an exorbitant amount of free goodies for everyone If you weren't in attendance today, Randy Davis ran the tape recorder and the Google Meet video for me. Unfortunately the internet in the hall went out twice, therefore, there were major gaps in the video. So I'm making the Tape Recording available. I was told it is very worthwhile listening to - which I plan to do in the morning. NOTE: After the initial announcement of the meeting by Randy, there is a couple of minutes where you will hear the crowd. After that the meeting gets started. Click on the recorder icon below. If you have any issues with accessing this recording, please let me know immediately. Beth Parrish 2025 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2025sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2025-01-15: SEPO Election Ballots: Final Distribution Totals & Costs - As of yesterday (01-14) around noon, all of the 2025 Election Ballot packets had either been picked up, delivered to residences or mailed at the post office. I thought you might be interested in seeing the totals for each. I went to the post office and weighed one envelope on Monday. It required three (3) stamps @ $.73 per stamp. The cost to mail 87 packets was $190.53. And that was with one single ballot in the packet! And that is why you all have been receiving email after email from me to come get your ballots. Look at what that saved SEPO. I want to give a special thanks to: everyone on the Election Committee. They worked tirelessly beside me these last few days. Tracy Wagner, your Board Treasurer, who sat in the library for four hours answering homeowners questions. Tom Perrier, your Board Director of Streets+, who went with me to the post office today to mail the remaining ballots. Of course, I made him carry them :) everyone who helped me through this entire process to date, answering my questions and guiding me through any process I was unsure of. I'm so appreciative of you all. We can all rest for a while until we start up again mid-Feb determining if we have a Quorum and, if so, counting ballots in order to announce the election results at the Feb 18 Annual meeting. The locked Ballot Box is in front of the office window. You have until Feb 18 @ 1 PM to vote. And I hope you all do so. Bye for now.

Each ballot is removed from the BALLOT envelope and placed in a stack to be counted without noting the address.

Thank you! Sincerely, Pam Davis, Women’s Club President Sent 2025-01-09: 2025 SEPO Election: Candidates - Date: January 9, 2025 During the “Residents & Directors” meeting held on Jan 7, 2025, in Retzlaff Hall at 1 PM, the status of each of the nominated Sunshine Country Club Estates (SCCE) members listed below was validated by the SEPO Board Secretary as defined under Article II of the SEPO Bylaws for the election to be held on February 18, 2025. BYLAWS OF SUNSHINE ESTATES PROPERTY OWNERS, INC. ARTICLE II - MEMBERSHIP Members 2.01 Only deeded lot owners of record of Sunshine Country Club Estates, and/or their spouse shall be considered as members of this corporation. Pat Heinerickson Tom Perrier Gay Saxton Lisa Seiser Submitted by Beth Parrish 2025 Election Committee Chairperson Sent 2025-01-09: Part of the Minutes from the Directors Portion of the "Residents & Directors" Mtg, held on Jan 7, 2025 - New Business: Election Committee Chairperson Beth Parrish explained the upcoming election process (see below). - Prepared by Randy Davis, SEPO Board Secretary Sent 2025-01-06: 2025 Election: Ballot Packet pickup schedule - Next steps after the 2025 Election Ballot Packets all prepared. BALLOT PACKET PICKUP: On Saturday, Jan 11 and Monday, Jan 13, from 10 AM to Noon each day, the Election Committee will be in the library handing out ballot packets to homeowners. Only an “owner” may pick up the materials. The owner must provide proof of identity and sign for the materials. The Election Committee will then co-sign to verify they were picked up. I know some of you are thinking - everybody knows me. However, no ID - no packet. The packets will be handed out based on the street you live on. So look for 'your street' sign, either on a wall or table, upon entering the library. And yes, if you own multiple homes on different streets, that may mean you will be picking up from different committee members. We did this last year and it saved SEPO quite a bit on postage. The temps this weekend and into Monday are predicted to be somewhat better. So come on over and get your packet(s). MEET & GREET: Mark your calendar. There will be a "Meet & Greet" again this year on Jan 15 from 12 to 1 PM in Retzlaff Hall to provide the nominees with the opportunity to introduce themselves and for you to ask questions. The Women's Club will be providing free goodies during this session. I encourage everyone to attend and get to know the nominees better. Questions? Please contact me at my info below. - Beth Parrish 2025 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2025sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2025-01-06: 2025 SEPO Election: Ballot Packet Pickup - SAVE THE DATE I hope I'm not jinxing myself by sending this info out today, but here goes. If everything goes as planned, the Election Committee will have the 2025 SEPO Election Ballot Packets ready for pickup in the library on both Sat, Jan 11 and Mon, Jan 13 from noon to 2 PM each day . (I want to make note that as I was posting this email on this website page, I just now noticed the times for ballot packet pickup were incorrect in this email. However, as you can see above, I did announce the correct times of 10 AM to Noon in subsequent emails and meetings. Plus an email went out Saturday morning (Jan 11) @ around 10:30 with pictures of committee members indicating we were all ready and waiting in the Library for pickup by homeowners. I apologize for any confusion this particular email on Jan 6 might have caused.) Please attend the "Residents & Directors" meeting in the hall tomorrow, Jan 7, @ 1 PM where I, as the Election Committee chairperson, will give a brief rundown of the steps that we will be executing for the upcoming election. Of course, come eat Tacos, prepared by the Women's Club, before the meeting. See you all tomorrow. - Beth Parrish 2025 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2025sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 From Newsletter - Jan 2025: SEPO Election Committee I’m sure you all know by now I volunteered and was appointed by the Board as the Chairperson of the 2025 SEPO Election Committee. I want to thank those who have already volunteered to help. We could get everything done with the number of volunteers so far, but if I could get four or five more of you to step up, I wouldn’t anticipate anybody being burdened with too many tasks. Thanks to everyone who has replied to the emails concerning “Directory verification” and “where to address your Ballot packet to”. I’m working with Valerie to get as much done prior to receiving the SEPO Board candidate names at the January 7 “Residents & Directors” meeting. Also, I will be reporting on some of the ‘ins and outs’ of this committee at this meeting. Hope to see you there. Contact me anytime with questions at my info below. - Beth Parrish 2025 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2025sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2024-12-22: Link Fixed - 2025 SEPO Election: ACTION REQUIRED - Sunshine vs Away Address for Ballot Mailing - Thanks so much to all who replied with updates to the SEPO Directory. Those updates are now available on the Website at the 'fixed' LINK . Concerning this file, I need one more question answered by everyone by end of day this Friday, Dec 27, 2024 , to let me know if you need your Ballot Packets mailed SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN YOUR SUNSHINE ADDRESS . The office is currently preparing the envelopes for the packets so the sooner you reply would be appreciated. The ballots will be distributed/mailed sometime between Jan 9 & 16, 2025. (I have already received this info from a couple of you. Thx so much.) Per the Election Committee Guidebook, by providing this information to the Election Committee, it should resolve issues of a homeowner who is not physically in Sunshine at the time of the election and who may not receive the ballot(s) in time to return it/them by the due date, which for this year's election is Feb 1, 2025 @ 1 PM. If a resident doesn’t reply to the address question above, they will have their election materials mailed to their “Sunshine” address on file as recorded by the SEPO Office. One more thing about the directory currently on the Website, if you see any of your info in 'black & white' I need you to contact me please. If anyone has any questions at all, please contact me at the info below. Beth Parrish 2025 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2025sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2024-12-19: 2025 SEPO Election Committee: Need volunteers - Hi All – As I said several times during last year's election, I had a super super team of residents who assisted me on the Election Committee. However, this year, personal circumstances / other commitments are prohibiting a lot of them from participating in this process again. Therefore, I am looking for some of the rest of you to step up and assist me in the process this year. Last year I learned a lot and we also had some 'lessons learned', which should make things go a little smoother this time around. And I for one, had a fun time heading this committee, working with my friends/neighbors, knowing I was serving this great community. FYI - The bulk of the work for the Election Committee won’t be starting until after the Jan 7, 2025 “Residents & Directors” meeting. At that meeting the Election Committee receives the nominees’ names and we hit the ground running. I'm already working with Valerie to prep as much of the packets as we can now. Mailings need to be done by Jan 18, 2025 this time. Please consider helping me out. If you have any questions about any of this, please contact me. Beth Parrish 2025 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2025sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2024-12-19: 2025 SEPO Election: Directories Updated - I have updated the Resident Name/Address Directories and also the Email Directory as the first step in order to prepare the 2025 SEPO Election packets. I am continuing to work with the Office to ensure both the website and the Office directories are in sync. Thank you so much to those of you who replied to my request for any updates. If you could just take a glance at the updated docs to ensure I have entered the revisions you sent me correctly. And if anyone who didn't previously reply, you may still do so for a few more days.

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.

Those three guys had nothing to do with the Mr. Fit-It List. I received the below from Pat Harvey. Please read it carefully as it contains some very useful information. Thanks Pat Beth Parrish *******************************************************************************************I I have no doubt that Tiffany is correct about the 3 guys from CPL, but the subject of the e-mail that was sent to you refereed to the Mr. Fix It List. Those 3 guys had nothing to do with the Mr Fix It List. There are lots of other companies that do not engage in the questionable sales activities that apparently happened yesterday. The Mr. Fix It List does refer users to two different web sites to check the real facts of electricity usage and costs. Costs can be found at: http://powertochoose.org/ which is a web site provided by the Texas Public Utilities Commission.

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.

It has come to my attention that at least one member of the Board is not in agreement that a more secure gate would be beneficial. That person asked me to send out this e-mail. Also, everyone should know that nothing has been agreed to by or with anyone at this point. 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!!

Thanks Dale Hopfner Sent 01-04-19: Casino Night - We are preparing for our 6th Annual Casino Night as well as "our" last. We have decided to step down as Casino night co-chairs. 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.

These SEPO Residents have met the requirements and are in good standing in the Sunshine Estates Community. All Candidates have been interviewed by one or more Nominating Committee members and were considered by the Committee for nomination based upon their responses to the questions asked of them. The BIOs we receive from each Candidate will be sent via separate email in the next day or two. During the January 2024 SEPO Residents & Directors meeting the Nominating Committee will move that the SEPO Board place the names of these nominees on the 2024 ballot.

Experience and willingness to learn and grow is a plus for homeowners wishing to volunteer. Three of the current Board Directors’ terms are ending in the forthcoming SEPO Board election in February 2024. 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). These positions are elected and appointed at the Organizational Meeting held immediately following the Annual Meeting in February each year. This means a Board member may hold a position this past 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. Share Nelson, Mark Owen and Randy Davis are not planning to run again but are willing to mentor anyone taking the positions currently held by them. Please contact any of the above Nominating Committee if you'd like to learn more, volunteer, have interest or know homeowners who may have talent in any and /or all positions. Together we can achieve so much! Thanking you all in advance.

Once the plaques are in place they are permanent and can only be removed by destroying both the plaque and the wall. All new residents and existing residents can be recognized for their service to their country and community. If you or your spouse served in the military or served as police officers, fire fighters and first responders and want to be honored for this service all you have to do is fill out an application form. These forms are available in the office. Check with Valerie to get one, or see me, my information is below. Fill out the form and include a picture you what displayed and return it to the office or me. The picture you provide for use will be copied and returned. Please be sure to include your address here in the estates so that I can return your picture. If you want a current picture I can be available to take one if you contact me (the information is below). All name plates and pictures that are placed on the wall and in the book should remain there indefinitely. Thank you for your donations towards this project. I hope to hear from you in the near future. Thank You For Your Service. - Jim Tennant, 4161 N Missouri 616-866-9960 Email: jimbuck1050@yahoo.com Sent 2023-02-14: UPDATED PROCESS & FORM: SEPO Suggestion/Complaint/Idea - During the Feb 7, 2023 Board Meeting the Board approved to update the Process Document and Form being used to submit "SEPO Suggestions/Complaints/Ideas".

(Siren Operated Sensor) is not working. Lalo has checked it out and could not get it to work (sound its alarm). The Police Fire and EMS use this operation to get in here when necessary. Part of Yelper system is in our gate and the other part is in their Units. When the yelp has been recognized for three (3) seconds a trigger is sent to open the gate. This is an effective way for emergency service to respond - not needing a code or a key. A call has been made to have it repaired. However, it will probably be Monday before that occurs.

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. Alternatively, if you wish to pay early you may drop your $40.00 off with either Matt or Jerry prior to the November 5 start date. If you have questions about this, contact Matt Lyne at 308-870-1423 or Jerry Wetherbee at 425-418-3345. - Jerry Wetherbee / Matt Lyne Back to Top *************** ONGOING O'Clo ckers Golf Scramble (Daily, Year-round) Sent 2024-11-05: O'Clockers Golf Scramble: Time Change - O’clockers golf scramble will be moving to 4:00 pm on Wednesday, Nov. 6th.

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

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

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

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.) Set up appointments with Alamo for repairs of the storage gate. Date to be determined. 5.) Still available in the storage lot: 1 lot with shed, 2 small pull thru lots and 1 trailer lot. 6.) Working on ideas for re-vamping part of the shuffle board courts. SEPO 2019 Election- Official count went as follows: Section 4.3 Annual assessment- votes for 85 An amendment dealing with fences along the golf course- votes for 175 Community and resident enhancement fee covenant (C.A.R.E.) - votes for 55 New system to manage front gate access- votes for 81 Sunshine Country Club’s Board members for 2019 are as follows: Dick Shelton, President Lynn Swonger, 1st Vice President- Director of Golf Course Golf course Equipment Irrigation maintenance Maintenance area Frank Tewell, 2nd Vice President- Director of Common grounds I: Office and Lounge Pavilion, pool and hot tub Retzlaff Hall and Sunburst Building Clint Wunderlich- Director of Common Grounds II Drainage and irrigation ditches Streets and grounds Texas Ave Jerry Utterback- Director of Common Grounds III Storage and Shop area Shuffle board and tennis court Mark Owen, Treasurer John Chajec, Secretary Board Mtg (2019-03-18) Annual Mtg (2019-02-19) Back to Top Back to Top Board Mtg (2019-02-11) ***************************************************************************** Sunshine Estates Property Owners, Inc Minutes of the meeting of the Board of Directors February 11, 2019 President Jean Lawrence convened the Board meeting at 1:00pm. Board members present were Jean Lawrence, Dick Shelton, Lyn Swonger, Pat Harvey and Debbie Robins. John Chajec was absent. The minutes of the January 7, 2019 were approved by Pat Harvey and seconded by Clint. Motion carried. Treasurer John Chajec has sent out the financial reports via the internet. The financial reports had a motion to approve, and was seconded by Pat Harvey. Motion carried. 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. Grace Clark Sandy Gades Mark Owen During the meeting we had 7 nominations from the floor, they are as follows. 1.

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.

By-Laws/Policies and Procedures have nothing to report Pat Harvey- Common grounds 1: The front gate has been rewired and because of day light savings, the timer on the gate is having problems it should be resolved this week. The cement bases for the light posts on Texas avenue have been refreshed. The 2019 budget draft should be sufficient for Indiana Circle and to enhance security at the front gate. Dick Shelton- Common grounds II: Pool has been drained, cleaned, refilled and the new chemicals have been put in. The total for labor aprox $300.00 plus the cost of refill.

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. Dick Parrish seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. The meeting was adjourned at 2:50 pm.

I’ve seen it before. - Margo Crouch Sent 2022-10-30: Policies & Procedures: Updates from Oct 11, 2022 Board Mtg - At the October 11, 2022 Regular Board Meeting, the Board approved one update to the SEPO Policies & Procedures . The reason this update was needed was because the wrong verbiage for the PROPERTY AND YARD MAINTENANCE section, item #1, was inadvertently included in the September 12 Board Meeting Agenda and subsequently approved at that meeting. Beth Parrish became aware of this after the September meeting and asked the Board to approve the correct verbiage on October 11. The correct verbiage is: PROPERTY AND YARD MAINTENANCE It is the responsibility of all property owners to see that their property and yard are maintained, mowed, and trimmed AT ALL TIMES. If it becomes necessary for SEPO to care for an owner’s property at any time, a service fee of $50.00 for mowing and $75.00 for weed removal of non-grass yards will be made each time such services are performed. There will be a service fee of $75.00 per incident to pick up fruit that has fallen from your fruit tree onto any Owner’s property or the street. Initial notification to owner must be attempted via phone call from the SEPO office. Whether communication is completed or not, a written notice will follow on that same date referencing the aforesaid phone call or attempt thereof and the issue that needs to be addressed. This written notice may be handed to the owner of the premises or sent via e-mail or regular mail, or by posting the notice on or near the front door of the resident’s home at the property location. Owners will be given seven (7) days from the date of said phone call and notice to bring the premises into compliance before the SEPO services are scheduled. All owners must furnish SEPO office personnel with up-to-date information as to who is responsible for their property during the owner’s absence. The updated P&P document is now on the Sunshine Web site HERE and can also be accessed directly from this HERE . - SEPO Board Sent 2022-10-30: Arcing Power Pole last night - Dear Sunshine residents - Karen Price and Cathy Chajec deserve an Atta Boy ...... as they spotted an arcing power pole and Marian Young & Rambo (her dog) for helping AEP. Last night was quite exciting. Just as I was about to go to bed, Karen & Cathy (who were out walking) called me about an arcing power pole by Caroline Cochran's on Minnesota. It could have been an arc flaw or other electrical issue. We immediately notified AEP and some close neighbors. Our Fire Department came directly out. They thanked us for the alert. (also knew SCCE was part of CERT) AEP emergency arrived shortly after to assess the problem and their team was assembled. Marian and Rambo were on Neighborhood Watch last night and stayed around to lend assistance if needed. Evidently AEP also had further issues with another pole by Montana & Missouri. They did some work - don't know what. So far, everything looks fixed. -- Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 Sent 2022-10-28: NOTICE of Board Executive Session, Tuesday, Nov 1, 2022 - This NOTICE will be posted in the SEPO Office, on the poolside door to Retzlaff Hall and by the mailboxes this afternoon. - Share Nelson SEPO Board President Sent 2022-10-28: AGENDA for BOARD (Special) Meeting on Tuesday, Nov 1, 2022 @ 1 PM - The agenda for the 1 PM, Nov 1, 2022 SEPO Board (Special) meeting is HERE and also posted on the Web site HERE .

My reply to them is, if I am not sent the information, I generally don’t know about it. I rely on residents to supply it to me. I don’t believe the majority of residents belong to that private group (myself included) and are therefore relying on information sent out via SEPO-sanctioned communications methods. Please remember to send SEPO/Sunshine related information to myself at either sepoenews@gmail.com for email or sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com for the Sunshine Web site, so that the ‘entire’ community knows what’s going on. Thank you. Beth Parrish, SEPO Communications Sent 2022-10-01: POSSIBLE CONFLICTS: Sunshine Activities etc - As some residents are reviewing the Sunshine Activities calendar (and thank you so much for doing that) they are reporting issues - missing events, conflicting events etc. I am going to work on this as my time permits the next few days to attempt to rectify any reported issues. Here's what I know so far: If there are many (around eight (8) or more activities and meetings) in one day, the 'printing process' is cutting off those evening events. Some events are year-round (i.e., water exercises) or assumed to take place every winter season (i.e., euchre) and an Activity/Mtg request form was not submitted for those. I'm not making excuses for either the SEPO Office or myself (as the Web site Admin) - I'm simply stating the facts here. The calendar process that is currently being used was newly created over the summer and was created mainly based on Activity/Mtg Requests submitted since the March 2022 Board Meeting. Therefore, some activities, especially those only active during the winter season for which new requests were not submitted, were inadvertently left off of the new SEPO calendar. And I, being a little bit more familiar with some of those winter activities/mtgs have not had the time to do a day by day, acty/mtg by acty/mtg comparison to the SEPO calendar in order to update the Web site for the winter season. Please be patient as I work with the office on this. And also, please note, in doing a super quick look this morning at just the first week in October, I do see conflicts with regular winter season activities that I know about and aren't on the calendar and activities that were just requested and approved. So it's highly likely some compromising will need to be done concerning some of those activities that were just approved as new. Please keep your eye out for what we discover and what questions residents may need to be providing answers for. Thank you for your patience as these issues/conflicts are worked through. If you see anything in question, please let me or the office know immediately. Beth Parrish SEPO Web site Admin E-Mail: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Back to Top

S EPO Community Emails: June 2023 Sent 2023-06-30: Pool Update - Hi Everyone! Quick update on the pool area. As of this afternoon the new equipment will have been installed. This involves a new, and much needed heater for the hot tub. The old one was not reliable so this should solve our problem and give us even heat in the hot tub. Also, there will be a new sand filter for both hot tub and pool. Sand will give us a better filtering system and be more efficient. This will not only give us a better filtering system, but make the chemicals do a better job. Lalo did his usual great job in the installation. Pat him on the back when you see him!!!

This letter is to help remind you, while you are “back home in the northlands" , to consider maintaining this tradition for our 2024 Tournament. We are soliciting your help in continuing to prepare “Gift Baskets” of items found locally in your area during your summer stay. We suggest selecting things that set your home area apart from others. These gift baskets will be awarded as prizes during our Awards Banquet. I am aware of several recipients in the past of these unique gift basket prizes, who have indicated how blessed they were to receive these baskets, and they genuinely appreciated Sunshine Residents’ generosity. In our 2023 Awards Banquet, one of the people who received a Gift Basket in the prior year donated a beautiful quilt made by his wife to pay it forward. For example, I most recently lived in Lafayette, Louisiana. So, I will put together a basket of “Cajun items”; seasoning, rice, Tabasco /hot sauces, Beignet mix, cookbooks, and locally brewed beer/wine for our gift basket. Just think of items your area is famous for and start accumulating them to bring back with you. We want the baskets in the $30-$50 value range. - -By preparing the baskets we are also providing a showcase for various products that are in North America where: Sunshine Estate residents live during the summer time. I hope to see everyone in the Valley in a few months.
