SCCE Fishing Association Contact: Bill Peterson Meets: Monthly on 2nd Wednesday at 6 - 7:30 PM (as of Nov 2023 thru Apr 2024) Location: Retzlaff Hall & Google Meet Participants: Open to all Sunshine Residents/Renters. Details: There has been lots of interest in fishing and fishing related activities here at Sunshine. I have organized a Fishing Club to address the interest in different styles of fishing in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV). It is quite different than most Winter Texans are used to. With this Club platform we can share ideas, methods, and trade equipment. There are many activities and projects that are possible. Future plans could include: Working with area captains and work out deals for the club. Have guest speakers about fish and fish habitat and how our club could make a difference. We may plan a fish fry as a money maker for the club. Work with the SEPO Board in pond flora, fauna & habitat. If organized correctly and run positively this club could be a driving force in SEPO's future.

Allow up to 25 days for approval/rejection notification. Plan your project accordingly. You will be notified by the SEPO Office of your approval/rejection status by email or phone. Please note the following Form and Process changes once your request has been approved. A new generic ‘project permit’ form has been developed, which does not display any of the owners’ personal information. The SEPO Office has laminated several of these forms with different permit numbers and different street names. After a resident's ACC request has been approved, the office writes the street number and date over the laminate on the Permit form and gives it to the resident. This form is to be posted near the front door of the address on the permit, so it is clearly visible from the street curb during the entire time of the project. When the project is completed, the resident returns the laminated form to the office and the work is logged in the office as completed. The street number and date are wiped from the form, so it can be used again by another resident. Dates when Requests are reviewed by the ACC – The ACC is scheduled to meet monthly on the 1st and 15th of each month, except when the date falls on a Holiday or the Weekend. In that case, they meet on the next Business day.​ ACC Request Process (2022-05-01) ​Architectural Control Committee Request Form (as of May 1, 2022) - View/P rint Form HERE or obtain from SEPO Office ACC Request Form (2022-05-01) ​Architectural Control Committee Permit Form (as of May 1, 2022) - This form is supplied to the Resident upon approval of the ACC Request Form ​ Below is an 'example' of a 'completed form.

The Bird Count is a national volunteer event. We count the number of species and the number of birds of that species. Results are tabulated throughout the United States. The results are an indication of how well or poorly the bird population is doing. The Sunshine Birding and Nature Club has participated in this event for many years. BUT NOTE: This event is open to anyone in the community. We will assemble at the Gazebo on Texas Avenue at 7:30 a.m. next Saturday. We will be divided into groups with assigned areas to cover. We need bird identifiers, bird sighters, and tally keepers. No special talent is needed for the last two (2) jobs listed. We will go out on foot, in golf carts, and in cars. Bring binoculars. Again - This event is open to anyone in the community. Please join us. - For more information contact Ralph Peterson (607) 590-0606 . ​ Sent 2023-12-22: 2024 SEPO Election Committee Announcements - Hi Everyone - I figure this week you are well into the Christmas spirit and the last thing you want to think about is 'volunteering' to work on a committee. However, this is exactly the time of year that SEPO Election Committees get into gear. ​ If you attended the Dec 19 Special Board Meeting or have viewed the video of this meeting, you are aware that I have volunteered to be the 2024 SEPO Election Committee chairperson and the Board voted unanimously to appoint me to that position. I have already been working on some of the upfront committee tasks. I have updated the Election Committee Guidebook, thanks to a collaborated effort of both myself and your SEPO Board President, Share Nelson. It is almost ready to present to the entire Board for their approval. I'm also working on a Project Plan of all of the tasks - from the smallest of small to the largest of large - that need to be performed between now and when I turn over the tallied vote count to the Board at the Feb 20 Annual Shareholders Meeting. So the next 'large' task for me to accomplish is to fill seats (so to speak) on the committee. I currently have five volunteers, some of which can only help part-time. I'm looking for 10-15 (and possibly more) people to do a variety of tasks, the largest of them being "Stuffing the Ballot Envelopes" sometime around Jan 14-15 AND "Counting Votes" between the 1 pm and 3 pm meetings on Feb 20. If you think you might be interested at all in helping me out, give me a call to discuss. If I don't get enough volunteers in the next few days, I'm going to start cold-calling. Wouldn't you rather volunteer before hearing me beg on the phone. 😁 Thanks in advance for your consideration of this matter. Happy Holidays !!!

It is our night to “take a bite out of crime” and for the Combes Police to host all other LE and EMT agencies. So a show of support is in order! Our Neighborhood Watch will have a table (under the shady tree) along with the CERT Team and the Citizens Police Academy and many other participants. Lots of info and free stuff – yum, yum.

Sitting at our table – any and all of you – come, take turns or stay the entire time as their will be plenty of getting together and sharing stories etc. Show off our NE and CERT Team – lead by example – you are the premier group in the area. 2. Parking – roughly – get there at 5:15 pm or so – shuffle patrons into a designated parking lot. Done by 6pm or so. 3. Also, we need a few roving Golf carts – Job: A) guide special guests (PDs FDs, EMTs, etc.) into their special area behind the Pavilion B) Safety patrol Tentative plan: Combes PD will escort you and your Golf Carts on Thursday morning - 9am to Combes PD Parking Lot – where we can charge them for that evening.

If you were happy with the contractor(s) that helped you, Please pass the information onward. Just send an e-mail to: patharvey4169@gmail.com and include the contractor's name, phone number and a short description of the work that was done. ​ The MrFixItList will then be updated on the SEPO web site ( www.sunshinecountryclub.com/mr-fixit ). You may also obtain a paper copy of the Mr Fix It list from Valarie at the SEPO Office. Your Neighbors will thank you.

Thanks , Lorraine ​ Sent 2019-08-17: PLEASE VERIFY: Sunshine Directory Updates - Valerie and I have been working together this summer to get/keep the Sunshine Resident Directory up-to-date. I have been gathering those updates and have finally got them on the Sunshine Web site. I am asking everyone to please check the document for accuracy - as there were many buy & sell transactions made over the summer. One file is sorted by Last Name. The other file is sorted by Street then #. However, they both contain the exact same data. The files can be found in the 'Residents Only' section of the Web site - (www.sunshinecountryclub.com/residents-only ). So, as most of you already know, you will need the Resident Password to access the page containing the documents. If you don't already have that password, instructions on how to obtain it are on the page I linked to above. If you see anything that needs correcting please send that information to both myself and Valerie at: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com AND sepo.office@gmail.com . By sending the corrections to both of us we can keep our documents in sync easier. Thank you so much in advance for helping us maintain accurate information concerning all of the great Sunshine residents. One final quick thing. I am working on updating the E-mail List and will have it back out on the Web very soon. I will notify everyone when it is out there.

The last time it was stained, it took 3 days with 3 volunteers staining. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2851bf_bbf1fd19527d41c58c08563e2d153c2f~mv2_d_4096_3072_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_4096,h_3072/Gazebo_aft%20Stain_2019-08.jpg He used his own airless sprayer and mostly what I did was move the drop clothes and ladders - just a helper function. Oh - and that 5 hours includes lunch and staining the benches and tables from the Gazebo. So - The next time you see Lalo - congratulate him on a job well done.

We survived a once in 500 years rain event, but let’s get on with the real reason for this email. As you may recall, Larry Keller has headed up an effort in providing unique prizes for the Good Neighbor Golf Tournament and we want to continue this tradition Once again I am assuming the Chairman position for the Good Neighbor Golf Event for the dates noted above, with Jerry Wetherbee's continued guidance, so mark your calendars. Since many of you are now “back home in the northlands”, we are again soliciting your help in continuing the practice of preparing “Gift Baskets” of items that are found locally in your area during your summer stay. We suggest selecting items which set your home area apart from others. These gift baskets will be awarded as prizes at the end of the Tournament. Based on history, the recipients of these unique gift basket prizes welcome this approach and truly appreciate our generosity. I most recently lived in Lafayette, Louisiana. So, we hope to put together a basket of “Cajun items”; seasoning, rice, Tabasco /hot sauces, Beignet mix, cook books, and local 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 would like the baskets to be in the $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. Hope to see everyone in the Valley in a few weeks.

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.

So they’ve moved the SOS/Yelper further from the gate to see if that will solve that problem.

We will be completed Friday afternoon. The course will be playable, but the greens will be rough and you will need to skip holes that are being actively worked. Throughout the next few months, on Thursday mornings (while it’s still dark), we will be spraying turf management solution. This is purchased at Home Depot over the counter. It helps with our grass and as a side by-product helps kill mosquitos where they breed. It does not affect ornamentals, roses, flowers, shrubs, trees, fruits, citrus, and vegetables. If you don’t drink it, it’s safe for humans and pets. It has a smell to remind you to be extra aware for you and your critters.

So that's where my cleanup began. I have downloaded all BOARD videos dated prior to Oct 1, 2022 to a personal storage device and removed them, along with any links to them, from the website. If you need/want to view anything I have removed, just send an email to sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com and I can get it/them to you.

Thank you, Bev McIntosh ​ 2021-11-16: WC: Thanksgiving Dinner - Signup sheets for Thanksgiving Dinner are in the library. Bev McIntosh 2021-11-07: WC: Thanksgiving Dinner - REMINDER - Women's Club: Thanksgiving Dinner The Women's Club will be sponsoring a Thanksgiving Day Dinner again this year in Retzlaff Hall on Nov 25, 2021, but there will be changes from how we’ve done it in the past. Rather than the Women's Club providing the meat, stuffing, gravy etc. and residents bringing the sides, desserts etc., for everyone in the hall to share, here’s the plan for this year. Due to Covid-19, in order to social distance, we will be setting up ten (10) tables in the hall. Each table can seat 8 to 12 people. We are looking for a host to ‘sponsor’ one (1) of each of the ten (10) tables. The host signup sheet is currently on the Women's Club Committee Signup Bulletin Board in the Library. Responsibilities of the host are defined later in this e-mail. I would like to have a meeting in the library with the hosts prior to putting the residents/renters signup sheet on the WC easel in the library. Anyone not signed up as a host is also welcome to attend this meeting, ask questions and then maybe volunteer to be a host. This meeting is planned for Friday, Nov 12 at 1pm in the library. The resident/renter signup sheet will go up on Nov 15, ten (10) days prior to the Thanksgiving dinner. When this signup sheet goes up residents/renters can signup for the table they wish to sit at. The hall will open at 12:30 pm on Thanksgiving Day for pre-dinner socializing. Plan to eat at 1 pm. Host Responsibilities - Each host will be responsible for meeting with the residents/renters who signed up at their table to decide on the following: Decorations (if any wanted). The Women's Club can supply decorations if you wish to use them or you can use your own. The hall is reserved on Wed, Nov 24 @ 4 pm for those wanting to decorate their tables. Place Settings (Does the table want to be uniform, or everyone bring their own?) Food and Drink. (What will be prepared and served at each individual table and who will bring what?) Table cleanup. (Each table will need to be cleaned when you are finished, by those sitting at that table.) We encourage you to signup 'now' to be a host and invite your friends and neighbors to share this most wonderful holiday together with you at your table. We would like to see all the tables full. For any questions or anyone wishing to know more, please contact Bev McIntosh at 989-397-7482.
