Thank you Cathy Richmond for everything! - Karren Amos Sent 2023-02-04: AT FRONT GATE: Emergency vehicle - Siren Operated Sensor-Yelper not working - At our Front Gate - the Yelper S.O.S. (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. Therefore, the Front gate will remain in the 'open' position in case EMS or other emergency occurs - and we, the residents, come in late after hours. -- Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 Sent 2023-02-04: Home For Sale - See the home at 1940 W WI, on the Sunshine MARKET that is for sale for Victor & Judy Deleon. - Cindy Shriver, broker/owner, Dream Valley Properties LLC 956-970-0449 Sent 2023-02-01: WC: Taste of Sunshine Potluck and Cakewalk - Dear Neighbors, The Women’s Club is happy to announce the upcoming activity of Taste of Sunshine with a Cake Walk.

Hopefully, we will see so many wonderful dishes and state pride from all of our Sunshine residents. To make the event, a little more interesting, we have decided to add a cakewalk. We will have a sign-up list for anyone who would like to donate a baked good and we will sell cakewalk tickets for two dollars a walk. There will be other surprises as well!

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!!

The golf tournament is scheduled for February 7th, 8th and 9th here at our golf course. We had a great day. We had 137 registrants today. The maximum number of golfers for the tournament is 160 players. That means there are only 23 spots left! After we reach our maximum of 160 players, we will create a standby list of players, in case someone is unable to play on the days of the tournament. Historically this has occurred on more than one occasion. This is a first come, first serve registration. Hope to see you at 9:00 AM tomorrow, Friday, January 11th, in the Office/Library area, if you wish to play / register for the GNGT. Tony Tramel Chairman of GNGT Cell 337-693-6344 Sent 01-10-19: New Homeowners Party Signup - The Signup sheet is currently available in the Library for the "Welcome New Homeowners Fiesta" sponsored by the Women's Club. The party is being held on Tuesday, Jan 22. Social time starts at 5 PM with dinner scheduled for 5:30 PM. The menu consists of a Taco Bar, Chicken Fajitas and Sides. DJ Dug & His Lovely Assistant will be entertaining us from 6:30 - 9:30 PM with music and trivia. The party cost is $10 per person. New Homeowners are our guests for the evening. Therefore, their entry is free. Come and meet the new residents in our community and enjoy a fun evening of delicious food and great entertainment. Event Co-Chairs: Vickie Jones & Eileen Anderson Sent 01-09-19: Former Resident Death - The following was recently brought to our attention by Pauline McAdam's daughter Suzanne McAdam-Byeler. Pauline passed away on Nov 11, 2018. She was 97 and a former resident of Sunshine. Her late husband was Bill McAdam. The Men's Golf Tournament has been called the Bill McAdam golf tournament for many years and Pauline was responsible for paying for the Pizza for the tournament party for several years after his passing. Sent 01-09-19: A New Stop sign will be installed as Texas Ave meets MN and MT - In case you missed the informational meeting yesterday - this is an early alert that there will be a new Stop sign installed in about a week. The new sign will require everyone to stop as we enter the Estates on Texas avenue. We will try to make it as clear as possible and hang flags on the new sign. This is in addition to the Stop signs on Minnesota and on Montana at that intersection. The intersection then will become an "All Way" Stop. ----- Pat Harvey - SEPO Director of Streets Sent 01-09-19: NEED: DVD Player - Over the past few years those of us who do Video Exercises in the pavilion mtg room have been using an 'old' TV (with built-in DVD & VCR players) donated by a former resident of Sunshine. And yes, we do have exercise VCR tapes that we use. We were concerned last year because that TV is on it's last leg. But, behold, two of our current residents have donated a nice new flat screen TV to us. Now we are looking for anyone who might have a DVD or a combination DVD/VCR player they no longer use and would like to donate to us. Please contact Beth Parrish (314-960-6710) if you can help us out. Thanks in advance for your quick reply to this request. Beth Sent 01-09-19: Video Exercises - Who's ready to starting moving to the beat of some lively music? Ooh La La. Along with this great activity (we don't like to use the word exercise) you get to have lots of fun and laugh with (but not at) your neighbors. And who knows, you might even drop a few lbs or tone up something in the process. So come join us at 8 AM Monday thru Friday in the meeting room next to the Pavilion. You can stay as long or short as you want. I will be there tomorrow and will have the room open when you arrive. If you ever arrive and the door isn't open, you just need to signout the key from Valerie in the office and return it to her when the room reservation time ends at 9 AM. There are DVDs in the room to use, but feel free to bring your favorite workout DVDs from home. Hope to see you there in the morning. Beth Parrish (314-960-6710) Sent 01-09-19: SEPO E-Mail Accounts Guidance - It has come to my attention that there is still come confusion among residents about where to send various types of information in order to get it published to the SEPO Community.

If you want an E-Mail sent out to the community concerning your upcoming event, meeting etc, send your info to sepoenews@gmail.com . Beth Parrish is in charge of sending those out to everyone on the current contact list. If you know of any resident who isn't getting these e-mails and wants to start getting them, tell them to send an e-mail to sepoenews@gmail.com with that request. If you want anything added to, deleted from or corrected on the Web site (www.sunshinecountryclub.com ) send it to sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com . Beth Parrish is also in charge of this Web site. If you still need the Password for the "Resident's Only" portion of the Web site click on this link (www.sunshinecountryclub.com/residents-only ) and follow the instructions. If you are still having difficulty after doing this, please call Beth at the number below. If you want your info in the Monthly Newsletter, send it to seponewsletter@gmail.com by the 24th of each month, September thru March. Linda Abernethy handles the Newsletter. If you don't receive a 'reply e-mail' from her with the word "received" in it, you need to contact her again to ensure your info makes it into her publication.

Our $50 “Hometown Gift Baskets” have been a huge success and have made us aware of the different backgrounds we each bring to Sunshine each winter. Last year this was broadened when an outside resident surprised us with a basket from their hometown. We encourage others to do the same — it’s all about “Good Neighbors”. Aside from these baskets, we appreciate donations of all door prizes ie smaller baskets, gift cards, new items but please no used or gag gifts.

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.

NW - CERT Welcome Letter 2020 -2021 edition SUNSHINE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH C.E.R.T. – COMMUNITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM (2020-2021 Season) Lenore Combs, Coordinator, LJCombs44@gmail.com , 956 245 1276 Dear Sunshine Residents, Welcome to our community. This communication is a current edition. Our Neighborhood Watch aims to foster a strong and positive working relationship with the local Police Departments in Harlingen and Combes. “Take a Bite Out of Crime” All residents are the “eyes and ears” of SCCE. Lights On – Lock Up and Look Out for each other. SCCE is the premier NW in our area. Each monthly meeting brings us together to address current concerns and crime prevention techniques. Sgt. Michael Brooks HPD is our liaison HPD recently revised our NW Guide. It is available in the Library. Topics we discuss are how to recognize and report suspicious activity, how to make your home more secure, how to identify your property (Operation ID) and more. This association in SCCE allows neighbors to get to know each other and their routines so that unusual activity can be reported and investigated. (REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY 956 216 5940) Neighborhood Watch groups are NOT vigilante forces working outside the normal procedures of law enforcement. We REPORT and OBSERVE. We are not a program designed for residents to take a personal risk to prevent crime. A NW cannot guarantee 100% that crime will not occur in Sunshine but we can make life miserable for the Bad Guys. They are experts in crimes of opportunity. The various NW projects below are illustrated. Job descriptions are included. Contact me if you wish to serve or have questions. Orientation is always available. Sunshine CC Estates is a premier active Neighborhood Watch program in Harlingen and you are cordially invited and encouraged to assist us. Sunshine’s volunteer service begun after Hurricane Dolly in July 2008. We meet the 3rd Monday of the month at 3pm in Retzlaff Hall. We have no dues and the Coffee is always on. Our famous Cookie Bakers do a dozen. We discuss security issues and most meetings have a training session presented by the Police or Fire Department etc. We have CPR training complete with an AED trainer and Stop The Bleed classes. There is a Neighborhood Watch display in the Library with a Patrol calendar and up-to-date notices. Please visit. “Inside Sunshine”, a monthly newsletter will have an article but if there is an alert, it will go out on the NW email contact. If you wish to be on the email list, send me an email request and it’s done. PROJECTS: Sunshine NW is involved and we welcome your input and we welcome you to join a project. We have 306 homes in Sunshine. If a resident from each home gave a day's service..... wow! We will work around your schedule. You will be thoroughly oriented. We will make you feel welcome, train you and provide you with almost unlimited opportunities. Evening Patrols: Lenore 956 245 1276 A schedule is prepared by Linda Jones each month with volunteers who sign up for an evening patrol. Hours are available and orientation is a must. “Patrols” is the heart of the program. Bob Saylor or I can arrange to take you on an “area-fam” – patrol routine. You will learn some very interesting stuff about security. We have a dedicated NW Golf Cart . Check it out! We encourage 2 volunteers to patrol as one drives the Golf Cart and the other can take notes, call in suspicious activity etc. Safety is first and your job is to observe and report . No weapons allowed. Daytime Patrols: Are similar and you do need an orientation as well. There are no schedules. These patrols can be done on foot, bicycle, golf cart (NW or personal) or vehicle. We still encourage teams but getting the mail or walking the dog is a good example. The Bad Guys don’t know any different – except you are our eyes and ears. Vendor Patrols: Lenore usually patrols every morning. Residents are cordially invited to also do this do easily while walking around or driving. These are random patrols that are done regularly as we are looking for the Vendor “hanging tag” in the vehicle – or the “Orange card” as the case may be. This could help prevent a robbery in plain sight. Residents are strongly encouraged to have their contractor stop by the Office register with Valerie. Any resident can call me or inquire at the Office. We have a bright Orange Vest complete with reflective stripes. Even if you walk the dog, get the mail or whatever, wearing your vest gives the idea the “Eyes of Sunshine Are Upon Them” - workers, contractors, laborers, seedy visitors included. Oh, don't forget we do have some K-9 patrols too. They are part of the Team and enjoy the ride as well. Block Captains and Co-Captains: These special volunteers make the NW tick. All nine streets should have a volunteer Block Captain as a point of contact. The Co- Captains are those volunteers who are next door to four or six homes – just keeping an eye out. This is simply for communication. This key person is an integral component in keeping the block – the street actively informed - from crime prevention efforts to exchange of information. The NW can flourish or dwindle. These suggestions are not all inclusive. Develop a comms system to distribute vital info to your neighbors. Facilitate the unity. Get new residents involved. Obtain their support. Rekindle older connections of residents who have gotten away from the mission. Remind your street of an upcoming meeting. Block captains and Co-Captains are the glue. Operation ID: We work on this project with the Harlingen PD. Complete a form with your stuff – make, model and serial number etc., and then arrange to get them engraved with your ID number on it. We will give you the recognizable decal for your door. It is good for your insurance Company. Special Projects: 9-1-1 Helpers: These volunteers assist you at any hour of the day, noon or night. For example, if you are contemplating notifying 911 because of an emergency, a volunteer or two can go to your home and stay with you while you call and/or they can go to the gate and watch for the EMTs to get here. (Once you call 911, you are on the phone til help arrives. Having a 9-1-1 Helper is handy). Be-A-Buddy: This project is encouraged and is a more personal choice. For example, I may ask my good friend to be my Buddy and I have their phone number posted on my fridge. This way, if I am contemplating a (? health) concern, they could assist with notifying EMTs and the 9-1-1 Helpers. FYI: There is a red flashing rotating light for the EMTs attached to the front gate. It has to be manually turned on. It aids the EMTs in finding Sunshine as opposed to looking for us in Encore. This little light is visible down past the corner of Gayle Street towards the gas station. Our Front gate is also fitted with an S.O.S. alarm which allows Police, Fire and EMS to enter without having to input a code. (installed 2018) FYI: (Life Alert Systems – several residents have one of these. We do not endorse any particular brand. If you are interested, contact me for info. Sunshine Emergency Contact Information form: We all completed this when we moved in. Keeping it current is the operative word. They are retained in the Office in a cabinet. Old and outdated phone numbers are no help in contacting you. Sunshine Disaster Preparedness Team: Each April, residents are invited to participate in this dedicated meeting regarding Hurricane Preparedness. However, in March, the Women’s Club encourages residents to prepare their homes, update SEPO Emergency form, store lawn objects that could become loose in a storm or flooding and clear Utility pads and poles. Worry Box: These are index cards the CERT Readiness Team uses in case of..... For example, several residents lost their meds during Hurricane Dolly because the power went out and these meds should have been kept cool. Some residents have Oxygen condensers. They need power. So this is a “fluid” Worry Box that any resident may voluntarily give their info when there is an impending concern. We also have a plat of the community that is available to LE and EMTs in case of..... For example, Kathy Wunderlich CERT Team helped provide a working list of summer residents. 2-1-1 Helpers: also known as STEAR – State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry. Cameron County Registry for Mandatory Evacuation: This project gets activated by the Governor. Residents may also register on line. Our philosophy and best bet is to get “Out Of Dodge” as this county program is for those who really need it. However, it is available. Registration does not guarantee evacuation transportation and your info will be kept in the system for a year. Vial Of L.I.F.E. Health History - SCCE RED Envelope (Humans & Pets) This recognized program is available to you. There are 2 red decals, a brief health history form and a baggie. You put one red decal visibly on your door or window for the EMTs – Rescue folks to see and the other red decal is on the baggie which has your current completed health history form in it. This baggie is in or on your fridge – in plain sight! We ask a small donation to the NW for the baggie, 2 red ID decals and 2 health forms. There are forms available as you should keep them current. Keep them in your car or RV too. Readiness Team: This committee drew up an Emergency Plan after Hurricane Dolly. We update/revise it annually as necessary. Whether you are a Winter Texan or not, your input is valuable and you are invited to help us. We meet for the April meeting to stay current and make revisions. Stop The Bleed: In 2019 Sunshine placed 3 “Stop The Bleed” bags in the Library, Woodshop and Worker’s shed. They are not ordinary First Aid Kits but contain special gear for life threatening bleeding. See Lenore & John for a brief class. C.E.R.T. Team: These are Sunshine residents who have completed special training and meet monthly at the Fire Department for information and education. They are knowledgeable in First Aid, CPR, AED, light search & rescue etc. There is usually an annual class offered for CERT training at the Fire Department. Citizen’s Police Academy - at the Harlingen PD. Classes offered twice yearly. Learn about Police procedures and activities. (Criminal Law, Traffic Law, Use of Force, Family Violence, Juvenile Procedures, Handgun Quals, Narcotics, K-9, Baton/OC, SWAT, etc. Sgt. Sal Carmona and Commander Dave Osborne are highly qualified Peace Officers with many talents. They keep the class moving and their guest speakers are well informed. The Chief meets with the class several times as well – proves its worth. This is a class you won’t regret. Last but not least, Sgt. Michael Brooks and Officer Alicia Garcia are the CPA liaisons . They cannot be more supportive and this organization is on the move! Safety & Security measures: Several talented members have good information on these various items. Come to a meeting and see. Vehicle Decals: This square orange reflective decal is on our vehicles (rear window- upper corner – driver side) so we know this vehicle belongs to Sunshine. If someone is in here without one, they may be visited by an inquiring resident. (For example - If you see someone waiting at the gate to come in, and they don't have one - one would wonder WHY? - We suggest you discretely follow them to their intended location. Observe & Report! If they look suspicious – call the 956 216 5940 “ number to report suspicious activity” or 911 if you think it is an emergency. Try to have details for the Police such as a description, the plate and make, model, color etc. If they leave is a big hurry, try to notice which way they headed. Do not attempt to apprehend. We don't want you to get hurt and we have no law enforcement authority. If you think there are weapons involved report it. Refrigerator magnets: report suspicious activity – 956 216 5940. These are business card size magnets. They are free, compliments of the Woman’s Club. This number is answered by a person 24 x 7 from the Police Department Dispatcher on Loop 499. When reporting, we ask you have some details put together such as: Who What Where When How For instance - boy girl, - fat skinny, - old young, hair style, facial hair, etc., color of clothing, (gangs use colors) – make & model, plate of vehicle, any markings like convertible, SUV, pick-up, any drugs - what were they doing, - where they going. It helps! Weapons make a big difference and it is most important for the Police to know as it will upgrade the priority status.. Amber Security Lights on Golf Carts: If you buy a cigarette lighter receptacle for your Golf cart Bob Saylor and some helpers will install it. Then you can outfit your Golf Cart with a security light for patrol. A kind and generous resident donated several of these for us. Vendor Tags – these VENDOR tags hang from the rear view mirror. Residents are encouraged to contact the NW when a vendor comes to do work at your house. We have had several successful scammers in the community. These hanging tags are also issued to residents that may have day and/or night time care givers. The resident may also get them a clicker and assumes this responsibility. Interestingly enough – neighbors are becoming very aware of orange decals and Vendor tags – and they look into it. Also, we have a VISITOR tag which is (TEMPORARY)– if you need it for extended company. Gate Codes & Key Pads & Clickers: Occasionally we change the Front Gate Code. It will not affect your Clickers. Call me 956 245 1276 or the Office for concerns. Storage Lot: for entry (use your gate opener) Cameras: are located throughout the community. There is an Infra-red Sensaphone System in the Storage Lot. We can always use help in looking after them. It is short, sporadic work. Orientation and mentoring is available. Generators: Courtesy of Mark & Debbie Warner – we have our own NW-CERT generator. Several kind and generous residents also make their generators available in case of….. This usually is discovered at our annual Disaster Planning meeting in April. In fact this one was donated to us. Security begins at your house. We are living in a new normalcy and the burden is on you so Lights On - Lock Up and Look Out for each other. If you see something – say something! Timely communication is of utmost importance! Don't forget our monthly meetings (3rd Monday at 3pm) in Retzlaff Hall. Visit the NW – CERT display in the Lounge. Postings are kept current. Contact me if you want to get our email. LJCombs44@gmail.com The Sunshine Neighborhood Watch is a volunteer group that was established with the help and guidance of the HPD to take a bite out of crime. We do not have police powers. We alert police when encountering strange activity. We never should confront suspicious persons. Duty: Observe & Report. Tools of the trade – pencil, note paper and cell phone. LIGHTS ON – LOCK UP AND LOOK OUT for each other Important phone numbers: For emergencies – 9-1-1 Harlingen Police Department – to report suspicious activity: 956 216 5940 Combes Police Department – 956 425 7131 (21626 Hand Road). We also so have a partnership with the Cameron County Constable Office – PCT. 5 Eddie Solis. Other stuff: The Harlingen Police Department is squarely behind us and touts us as being a model community and uses our Neighborhood Watch as an example. Most meetings, Sgt. Michael Brooks joins us with a training session. Oftentimes he is accompanied with another Officer assigned to our district. The National Sheriff's Association and the Harlingen Police Department both have manuals that we use as resources. Training is key to our NW projects and there is a thorough orientation to each one. In keeping with training, Sunshine boasts many CPA members and many C.E.R.T. Team members. Sunshine can certainly hold down the fort in an emergency until professional help arrives. We attend regular meetings at the Police Station and/or Fire House. The Citizens Police Academy is a 40 hour course held at the Harlingen PD. CERT is the Community Emergency Response Team involving a 20 hour course held at the Harlingen Fire Department. Training and drills are ongoing. We participated in a mock disaster for the Texas State Guard. In October 2014, Sunshine was the site for a local Train-The-Trainer course. We stationed a mock disaster drill and many of the Sunshine residents acted as victims. Details are under separate cover. Suffice it to say, Sunshine is empowered by these lessons learned and we give back to the community. Conversely, we enjoy a valuable partnership with both the Police and the Fire Departments. Many members attend these meetings and we volunteer for their special projects too. Chief Darrell Loftus, Harlingen Fire Department was our initial CERT Instructor, occasionally attends our meetings and does a Fire Safety presentation. Several times he has brought Fire Fighter instructors-in-training to Sunshine and discussed their projects. At any rate, we always have informative meetings. Back to Top

Thanks Sherri Gardner / Beth Parrish Sent 06-01-2019: Do you have a house in Sunshine for Rent - I've received inquiries this summer from people in various parts of the US wanting to know if there were any houses for rent in Sunshine. So I've decided it might be a good idea to list available rentals on our Web site - just as long as those wanting to rent their home keep me informed when they do get rented and also when they open up for rental again . This will also help Valerie to keep the 'Renters Directory', which is posted on the Web site under the Residents/Password Required tab, up-to-date. The current 'Renters Directory' on the Web site is OUT OF DATE. If you currently have changes to this information, please notify both Valerie and myself. So if anyone wants me to post their available Rentals on the Web site please send me the information you would like a potential renter to see i.e., your contact info, months house is available, price, pictures of your house etc. That information will be located here (www.sunshinecountryclub.com/for-rent ). You will notice we already have one available rental listed there. Questions? Contact Beth Parrish.

Your hosts were Cathy Richmond, Judy Parker, Joy Olson, Brenda Crothers, Kathleen Sunders, Mary Grande and Nancy Lyne. Several newer residents introduced themselves, their new abode and their furry friends. (BTW Marian is 1st VP of our Women's Club and Cathy is the Treasurer). The helpers prepared the Hall, dressed the tables and assisted in placing the dishes when brought in by our residents. Clean up was easy as many chipped in. It was a huge success - THANKs - to all. -- Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 😊❤ ************************* COMPLETE Summer Potluck (Monthly & Special: This month on Memorial Day - May 31, 2021) Sent 2021-05-24: Save The Date: Upcoming Summer Potluck - Hey Everyone, Our first Summer Potluck will take place on Memorial Day!

That original net has since been replaced by SEPO. A few of us went to the courts a couple of weeks ago and hoisted that screen up. This is not an easy job as you can see from the pictures on the Web site HERE . But then we had a picnic in the pavilion. So the day wasn't all work. And although those of you who used to watch us play from the outside of the fence can't do that anymore, we are able to actually play now on those windy days. If you are so inclined, come join us and play tennis and/or pickleball. Tennis starts at 8 am on Mon, Wed & Fri. Pickleball starts at 8:30 am on Tue & Thu. Just show up to play. We have a great time and get lots of 'fun' exercise. - Lisha & Steve Johnson Sent 2022-12-30: Better LATE than NEVER: WC Caroling Pics - I knew this was going to take some time - and it surely did this evening. It was still light out when I started this endeavor. But, I finally got pictures and videos that a lot of you sent me (and that I took myself) from that wonderful night of Caroling around the streets of Sunshine. I personally want to give a huge thanks to EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU who participated in this festive night of singing, dancing and smiling. It sure did look like great fun.

Good Neighbor Day Golf Tournament Committee Chairman - Tony Tramel Sent 2023-01-26: Good Neighbor Day Golf Tournament ( GNDGT) info - Hello Sunshine Friends and Neighbors, The 37th annual Good Neighbor Day G olf Tournament (GNDGT) on March 2-4th is fast approaching. This is a 27-hole, 3-day golf scramble, with an awards dinner on Saturday evening. We have had more than 180 people participate in this event in the past. It is a fun tournament for 55+ aged persons. Each year we encourage Sunshine Country Club residents to participate in any way they are most comfortable. We know that everyone is not a golfer, but this event is a perfect way to get involved in our community and “Let the Sunshine In!” Although the GNDGT Committee will purchase many gifts for the Award Dinner, in the past, we asked residents to consider preparing a gift basket and donating it for the drawing/awards dinner. Gift baskets have been a great success as a personal prize during the awards dinner. Many residents donated these baskets, which the recipients greatly appreciated during the drawing. This year we would also like to open the possibility of Donations. If you would like to participate with a donation, here are some ideas: Gift baskets valued at $25- $50, filled with “new items,” (In past years, many of the baskets were filled with items of their favorite sports team or “New” items purchased from any local retailer or even your hometown). You might consider donating a Gift Card. You can donate any amount from local retailers, including restaurants. Direct monetary donations are also welcome; don’t hesitate to contact the committee chair to make this happen. Gift baskets and other donations must be received before the March 2nd event date. Our goal is to have fun before and during this event! Don't hesitate to contact the GNDGT Chairperson, Tony Tramel, at 337-693-6344 or trtramel@gmail.com regarding donations and/or other questions.

After a week of pumping, the water dropped down in saltiness but leveled out still too high for our use. We have since found a company that uses a type of ground penetrating sonar to find water, and can differentiate between fresh and saline. It can also measure quantity. The plan is to have them start the soundings in the area around the current well, around the end of the September early October. This is relatively new technology for finding fresh water, that has been developed from older technology that locates oil reserves. The intent is to try and locate fresh/less salty water in the area of the current well, to utilize the infrastructure that is already in place.

A replacement heater will be ordered. The hot tub bubbler can be used, but there will not be any heat associated with the hot tub. I will send an update when the repair has been completed. Thank you for your patience. - Pat Heinerikson SEPO Board Sent 2025-09-15: UPDATE: TX Ave Gate + Misc - The keypad for the gate on Texas Avenue is working. I had him check the Yelper and that also was not functioning. It's working now! The flashing red light at the gate is not working but hope to get that replaced before the end of the week. The one by the frontage road is working. Change the battery in your remote if its been awhile. - Tom Perrier SEPO Board (Area 2) Sent 2025-09-13: UPDATE: TX Ave Gate - Last Saturday the front gate area appears to have been struck by lightning. It damaged the board in the gate opener, which was covered under warranty (yeah) and replaced. But Hurricane Fence didn’t reprogram the keypad and I didn’t find out that it wasn’t working till late Friday, after they closed. After my email from earlier today I’ve become aware that some people don’t have remotes or their homelink system is not paired with the gate anymore. So I will be leaving the gate open till Monday when I hope to get Hurricane Fence back to fix that issue Also if you have a homelink in your car I can program it to the gate. Thank you - Tom Perrier SEPO Board Sent 2025-09-13: TX Gate Keypad Issue - Hey - The keypad for the gate on Texas Avenue is not working. So the gate will only be opening with your remote. If you have guests or deliveries coming you will need to let them in. - Tom Perrier SEPO Board Sent 2025-09-13: MARKET: Homes For Sale or Rent (Weekly Update) - This past week, the following updates were made to the Homes for Sale / Rent on the Sunshine MARKET .

As the 2025-2026 Winter Season will be here more quickly than we think, I wanted to introduce myself to all of you as the new Editor of the SEPO Women’s Club Newsletter. My husband, Bryan, & I, moved into the Sunshine Country Club Estates Community in March of 2024. Coming from Northeastern Wisconsin, we appreciate the warmer weather that Southeast Texas offers. The people have been so welcoming and friendly, and we look forward to getting to know “all y’all” better! Your previous Editor for the Newsletter, Beth Parish, has been a Godsend! She has been so helpful and patient with me trying to figure all of this out! Her encouragement has meant the world to me, a person who knows just enough about computer technology to be dangerous. I only hope that I can do justice to the amazing work she has done over the past six years for our community! Being new to this challenge, I ask for the SEPO Community’s patience while I get familiar with the process. I will be sending out reminders to you to submit articles for SEPO Events, as well as Club Activities and Announcements for the October SEPO Newsletter on both September 17 & 23. If possible, I would appreciate any information that you have ready be sent to me even before those dates. Feel free to contact me or send me information at the Email address below.

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

Tennis / Pickleball / Table Tennis TENNIS Contact: Just Show Up Plays: Every Mon, Wed & Fri from 8 AM to 11 AM Location: Tennis Court Details: We plan to keep playing all summer and into next winter, as we have in the past. We need more tennis players during the summer. We would welcome any resident who is here to come and try it. We only play doubles and have limited skills. We don't care if your good or a new player. Our goal is to get some exercise and have fun. We do tease each other, so be warned. *************** Look at this great group of 'regulars' who play Tennis each week. Come join in on all the fun we have. Pic taken Feb 17, 2024. PICKLEBALL Contact: Just Show Up Plays: Every Tue & Thu from 8 AM to 11 AM Location: Tennis Court Details: Whoever arrives first usually starts the process of setting up the net. As more people arrive we assess the need for another net to go up. It appears there are lots of time slots open for play so if people want to gather up four (4) people to play and put the net up and take it down, we can do that. The court just needs to be reserved in the SEPO Office. Some of us like to play continuous and some like to take a rest between games. We have some windy days so, in the fall, we need volunteers to put up the “wind” screen that will help block a lot of that wind hazard. Many of us want to play more than twice a week, so are considering playing after the tennis group is done. It is a great time to have with fellow members and wonderful exercise. There are all levels of players (NO professionals allowed) HaHa! Come join us. *************** TABLE TENNIS Contact: Jan Kawecki, 719-334-6493 Plays: Every Sat during the Winter Seasons from 1 PM to 3 PM (unless there is another event schedule in the Hall) Location: Retzlaff Hall Details: We would like to announce the startup of table tennis in Retzlaff Hall on Saturday afternoons at 1 PM. We have reserved Saturdays from 1 PM to 3 PM, starting tomorrow, January 20, 2024 . We will not play when other events are scheduled in the hall. All level of players welcome. Paddles for loan are available. Give me a call if you need. *************** Back to Top
