Sent 2022-10-30: lost husky - At 7:35 am this morning - at iowa and missouri.. now at my door, actually. 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

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 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.

She is following all procedures required. HOWEVER, because she is feeling well enough, and because she feels she needs to tackle certain chores in the office (such as payroll, etc.) she plans to come to the office to work at later hours. She will wipe everything down as she has been trained when she leaves but it is best if our residents avoid the office area. If you need to make a payment, it can wait. And yes, she has been vaccinated. Share Nelson President, SEPO Board Sent 2023-06-03: Buying Rocks to paint at Southern Stone, Tuesday.

Lost 3 Days ago... - Mark Owen Sent 2022-09-15: Policies & Procedures: Updates from September 12, 2022 Board Mtg - At the September 12, 2022 Regular Board Meeting, the Board approved two updates to the SEPO Policies & Procedures . A section entitled "Resale Certificates" was added on page 1 to comply with Texas Property Code 207: RESALE CERTIFICATES To comply with Texas Property Code, Sec. 207, any owner selling his residence must provide a resale certificate to the buyer prior to closing. This must be done whether by sale through a realtor, or a private sale between individuals. This will be provided by SEPO not later than ten days following a request for same at a cost of $250. The resale certificate will provide, in part, the following information: Financial condition of the association, any unpaid amounts due the association on the property, any known violations of noncompliance for the property of the rules (Covenants) of the association. The "Property and Yard Maintenance" section, Item 1, was updated concerning the 'attempt' to make an initial phone call: 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. Initially the SEPO Office must attempt to notify the owner via phone call. This will immediately be followed by a written notice from the SEPO Office that references the attempted or actual phone call and states 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 (attempted or completed) and the written 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. Additional details pertaining to these updates will be in the written minutes from this meeting, which are currently in process. As stated in an earlier e-mail the video for that meeting is available now: https://1drv.ms/v/s!ArA0fRIwdohilftpzOo4KPA2D4K2tw?e=vrKghL The updated P&P document is now on the Sunshine Web site HERE and can also be accessed directly from HERE . SEPO Board Sent 2022-09-14: Letter to SEPO residents - First off from Beth Parrish (SEPO Communications Mgr): Please note the below was actually supposed to be sent on Sep 7, but it fell into an email black hole. Thanks for resending it to me Larry. From Larry Keller (SEPO Board Director): update on Texas ave - The front entrance area continues to look fantastic. Lalo, the Garden Club and many other volunteers have made the Texas ave area look better than ever. When you see Lalo be sure to thank him for his dedication to our community. Lalo will be pressure washing the concrete block wall on the south side of Texas ave very soon. The drainage ditch behind Minnesota has been cleaned out from Texas ave to the northern boundary by the storage lots. This was achieved with help from Alan Moore district 5 mgr, Joy Cossins, Caroline Cochran, Lassie Dahlstrom, Randy Davis and our SEPO staff. We have begun to trim some trees along the Minnessota ave tree line to avoid contact with the power lines. The front gate mechanism has had nearly all of the internal components replaced. A new lock was also installed to avoid tampering. We have had success the last few weeks with the gate operating properly. Continued issues with the gate will require we purchase a new opener. Additionally, the front gate cameras are fully operational. Many thanks to Valerie (SEPO Office Mgr) for her help on this issue. Sent 2022-09-14: Sunshine Meetings schedule - As we are rapidly approaching the 2022-2023 Winter season at Sunshine, I wanted to remind and/or let everyone know that the schedule of meetings, that I know of , are posted on the Web site here .

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

And she is right, there are lots of great pictures and information out there already. Hopefully, this will provide a spot for those of you who are wanting to get the word out about things outside of the Sunshine borders, that are non-SEPO Club/Group related. A couple of things; although I would be overjoyed if this FB page would mean I no longer needed to do SEPO Communications, that is not the case. All residents are not on Facebook and those who aren't won't see these postings. Non-Sunshine residents won't be able to join the new FB group and, therefore, they won't see the postings either. The original intent of the Sunshine website, above and beyond keeping residents informed, was to entice potential buyers to come check us out and possibly buy in Sunshine. If you want the entire current community to be kept up-to-date about what's going on here in Sunshine AND also entice potential buyers, you will need to continue utilizing the SEPO Communication processes - emails, website updates and (during the winter seasons) the newsletter as described HERE . Thanks again to Pam Adams. - Beth Parrish, SEPO Communications Sent 2023-03-22: SEPO-Sanctioned Facebook Page is now up and running - At the request of SEPO Board President, Share Nelson, I have created a SEPO-sanctioned Facebook (FB) page for the Sunshine community.

In order to post, you will need to join the "Sunshine Country Club Estates Official Group" or be invited to join by one of the current members. Any resident and all Sunshine Clubs/Groups can post announcements themselves or find a friend to help post them. I am also available to help anyone who has issues with or questions about posting. There are already lots of super posts out there. - Pam Adams Sent 2023-03-22: UNAPPROVED: SEPO Board Meeting (Special) Minutes, Mar 22, 2023 - The video from the Mar 22, 2023 Special Board meeting is now available for viewing on the Sunshine Web site HERE and directly from HERE .
