If I receive enough help with the preparations, I will post a sign up sheet in the library on November 14th. Cost will be $6 per person and a dish to pass. One person, a dish to feed 6; and couple, a dish for 12. Such items as mashed or sweet potatoes, green beans, corn carrots or other vegetables, cranberry relish, deviled eggs, or other relish tray, or pie/dessert. There will be a women's club box and envelopes to fill out and put your money in. These are considered virtual tickets and we will have a list made up so we know who and how many are coming. The menu will consist of Turkey, Ham, Dressing, and Gravy prepared by the committee. For any new residents, this is a good way to get your "feet wet" and see what it takes to be part of a crew to host a party. Everyone in the Estates is welcome, as well as those family and friends who might be visiting. It is a nice way to enjoy Thanksgiving as a community, without having to do all the cooking and cleaning involved in a home party. I hope you will consider helping in some way to make this event possible for all of our residents. Thank you for your consideration.

Some of the items we have purchased or contributed toward the purchase of are; the pool furniture, the pavillon, tables and chairs, the televisions, benches for the golf course, coffee for all activities, items for the kitchen..... The activities for the season are posted in the library and we need many volunteers and co-chairs to make each event successful. Thanksgiving is right around the corner and we need co-chairs to head up this event. Grab a friend and sign up. This is a way that our residents can have Thanksgiving together as a Sunshine family when we are not celebrating with our individual families. If that is something that interests you, please contact me. Thank you!

In the past when I had my water turned on I would start getting bills at my TX address. This year no bill. I checked online, they now have website ( https://www.townofcombes.com/utilities/ ), and I owe money. When I went to their office to pay my bill I discovered they were sending the bill to my summer address. or the first time in 14 yrs, I filled out an address change to my TX address. If your not getting a bill when you get back you may have the same problem.

Vickie Jones Women's Club Activity Director Sent 2019-11-06: IMPORTANT: Sunday Night Music @ Retzlaff - Additional Details & Request for Assistance Those of you who used to attend the Sunday Night music activity in the past are aware that during the band's break there was Ice Cream (YUM) available for $1. Jean and Denny Eich have agreed, at least for this Sunday, there will be Ice Cream for sale at 7 PM during the band's break. However, if noone steps up to assist the Eich's with this ongoing , this Sunday will be the ONLY Sunday Ice Cream will be served. If several residents volunteer, that means the duties of having the pleasure of meeting new folks and conversing with others you already know - all while serving them a delicious treat - won't be your responsibility every week. It will only be periodically, that is unless you want to do it every week. LOL It is my understanding the duties consist of: purchasing the ice cream making coffee serving the ice cream cleaning up the kitchen afterwards The Ice Cream is a Women's Club activity so please step up and contact the Women's Club president Eileen Anderson at 507-317-0296 if you would like to volunteer.

While we are now fortunate to have Lalo available to do the careful mowing / trimming, the bulk of the maintenance for that area has been the responsibility of the Birding and Nature club / enthusiasts (BNE). Part of that is the care of the flower beds around the Gazebo. The flower beds are planted with two varieties of material that are quite hardy here in south Texas and require relatively little attention. They do need a little hand weeding and perhaps other TLC from time to time. The beds are covered by dedicated sprinklers, on a timer, so watering is not a problem. So – If you have a semi-green thumb and a couple of hours a month you would be willing to donate, Please let me know. Many Thanks for thinking about it.

It has been determined that the paint is being splattered throughout the Estates by the garbage trucks. Unfortunately, the root cause is the way we and/or construction workers are disposing of paint cans. There will be construction throughout most of the season so please use proper ‘paint can disposal’ methods. Any paint in the can should be allowed to dry by removing the cover. Only when the paint is dry should the cover be put back on and the can thrown in the garbage.

We need your input on what events to plan for the upcoming season as well as elections to fill some vacancies on our board.

(See pictures below.) The broken window is located at the rear of their home and is adjacent to our golf course. The cause of this broken window mostly likely was from an errant golf ball off the number 7 tee box. If you play golf, you should know you are responsible for damages caused by a golf ball you strike. This happened a few days ago and no one to date has come forward to claim their obligation to the owner to make this right. If you or another person you know witnessed the tee shot that caused this damage, please contact Carol Welckle at (320) 224-8044 and agree on how to resolve this issue.

Beth Parrish said our lawyer has indicated the Board can continue the use of Hybrid meetings.

The Board has stated this in the last two Board meetings on 09-21 and 09-23 and will continue to do so ongoing. After some discussion the following was voted on and approved by the Board.

S EPO Community E-Mails: May 2020 Sent 2020-05-31: Covid-19 & Opening SEPO Facilities: Read Carefully - NOTE: Due to confidential info contained within this e-mail, it is being sent only to RESIDENTS of Sunshine. This is a repeat as well as an update to the SEPO Board position on “opening our facilities”, which is very conservative. Using social distancing is the primary method of guidance for SEPO residents. Masks are recommended, but not required, if social distancing is employed by every individual. As you may know the pool and hot tub are in use, again with social distancing required. However, no outside visitors are permitted. Only residents of Sunshine can use the pool and pavilion. While your guests may be family, no one knows of their recent exposures on their travel to get here. Our golf course is open only to residents. No visitors can play on our golf course. We have stated previously SEPO must still conduct business. The office area is restricted, as we are only allowing persons in the office that have a need to transact SEPO business. Please call Valerie in advance to see if any SEPO matter can be resolved without entry into the office. Call Valerie at 956-425-1420 , to schedule any needed direct contact with her. The two doors, where one can enter the office area will remain locked, and will be opened from the office area by Valerie, once your presence is known. The Library continues to be open on weekends by using the Keypad Pin on Saturday and Sunday. No access is provided during the week. The Pin# can be found HERE . Because the entrance / exits are combined in the Sunburst Building there is no way to guarantee social distancing for the exercise room, the card room and/or the pool room. The exercise room, however, is now open for residents only, no visitors. Rules governing required behavior and sanitizing of equipment are posted on the walls of the exercise room. The Woodshop, when monitors are present, is now open. However, social distancing is to be maintained while in the shop, face mask required and a max limit of 7 persons in the building at one time. These conditions may change depending on many unknown factors in the future. The SEPO board is trying to protect our employees as well as our residents. We all hope we will be trending back towards what life was before Covid-19. Thank you for your understanding.

Help get the word out, please. We shall start our brief Memorial Day remembrance at 3pm sharp. Come as you are - in a golf cart or lawn chair. Upon arrival, simply park in your social space and enjoy the ceremony. Dress for the heat and have a cool beverage handy. Social distancing is paramount. Masks are encouraged. SEPO rules are in effect for Corvid19. Randy Nicholas, John and I will lead a brief program honoring our deceased Veterans and our recently deceased SEPO friends. Memorial Day (Decoration Day) is a somber day to honor our military fallen and because of recent Covid restrictions, we shall also remember our SEPO family and friends who have passed this year. This National Moment of Remembrance at 3pm is to remind us and future generations about the real meaning of this holiday. Call me for questions. -- Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276.

This notice today concerns anyone who is paying via check. The check needs to be made out to either Yuridia Oloarte (preferred) or Elias Oloarte. Their company will be trimming the trees for us. If you have already submitted a check that was made out differently, I have taken care of it, so no worries. Let me know if you have any other questions.

The cost will be $20 per tree for residents. The plan is to have a signup process in the library. There will be envelopes for you to sign, to include, your name, address, number of trees and amount of payment (at $20 a tree). Insert your money into the envelope and drop it into the box provided. As of this writing, this process is supposed to start on Monday, May 4 - not sure of the time. Please contact Valerie (956-425-1420) with any questions. Beth Parrish (for Lyn Swonger) ​ Sent 2020-05-06: Opening of SEPO Facilities Statement - The SEPO Board position on “opening our facilities” is very conservative. Using social distancing is the primary method of guidance for SEPO residents. Masks are recommended, but not required, if social distancing is employed by every individual. As you may know the pool and hot tub are in use, again with social distancing. We, like a lot of people must still conduct business. The office area is restricted, as we are only allowing persons in the office that have a need to transact SEPO business. Please call Valerie in advance to see if any SEPO matter can be resolved without entry into the office. Calling Valerie at 956-425-1420, to schedule any needed direct contact with her is encouraged. The two doors where one can enter the office area will remain locked, and will be opened from the office area by Valerie, once your presence is known. The Library continues to be open on weekends by using the door code (found here ) on Saturday and Sunday. No access is provided during the week. Because the entrance / exits are combined in the Sunburst Building there is no way to ensure social distancing for the exercise room, the card room and or the pool parlor, therefore these facilities remain closed until May 18th. After that date these facilities will open as directed by the Texas Governor. The Woodshop, when monitors are present, is now open, however social distancing is to be maintained while in the shop. These conditions may change depending on many unknown factors in the future. The SEPO board is trying to protect our employees as well as our residents. We all hope we will be trending back towards what life was before Covid19. Thank you for your understanding.

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.

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!!

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!

Large Mail Package Pickup Contact: SEPO Office Location: Special Purpose Room (between Pavilion and Fitness Room) Details: For your convenience SEPO has converted the Special Purpose Room to an overflow package pick-up area due to COVID-19 issues. Previously, mail was delivered to the Office. You may access this Special Purpose Room using the keypad (find code HERE ) installed for security and concerns of package theft. This room is available to residents 24/7. Please be sure to close the door securely as you leave. A recent survey from the U.S. Postal Service has revealed that consumers now make 51% of their purchases online and that 26% receive a package once a week. The mail carriers servicing Sunshine usually leave you a notice in your mailbox indicating there is a package for you. Please try to pick these up in a timely fashion. SEPO does not provide a designated staff member to accept and store packages. If you have experienced a mis-delivery of items, please notify Valerie in the Office. Maybe a concerned resident could volunteer to pull some “Package Handler” time daily just to sort and call. Porch Pirates: Since some packages get left at your doorstep, an infuriating trend has developed. A disturbing statistic bears out that close to 40% of persons have fallen victim. The Porch Pirate targets a special area so they can maximize their reward. A Ring Video Doorbell device may be a solution or ask a neighbor to look out and grab your package. There is also a Package Guard – a nifty device with a weight sensitive stand on which the delivery drivers place your package. Should a Porch Pirate be interested and try to swipe your box, the Package Guard sounds a very loud alarm and the Bad Guy takes off. Tracking Notifications – this helps you to know there has been a delivery and you can check online or by receiving e-mails or texts. Back to Top

Dan Danks and Bill Peterson are working with me on this committee. I know this e-mail is lengthy. However, I hope it gives everyone a better idea of our current situation. Please read through to the end and help us out, if at all possible. To refresh everyone on how this committee works here is an excerpt from the Sunshine Country Club Estates (SCCE) By-Laws (located on the Web site HERE ) . The following is from the - BYLAWS OF SUNSHINE ESTATES PROPERTY OWNERS, INC. A PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION A NON-PROFIT CORPORATION 1957 West Michigan Drive Harlingen, TX 78550 ARTICLE VI-COMMITTEES Nominations and Ballots 6.01 The Board of Directors shall, at least sixty (60) days before the election, appoint a Nominating Committee of three (3) to five (5) members to submit a slate of nominees for Directors to be placed on a ballot for hand delivery or mailing to members. The nominating committee shall post its selection of Nominees at least ten (10) days prior to the January Meeting of Residents and Directors. The Committee shall submit its nominations to the members at the January meeting of Residents and Directors and nominations from the floor will be accepted. The Board shall thereupon validate the status of members, as defined under Article II herein, and cause the committee report to be posted on the Club House bulletin board for a ten (10) day period. At or about noon of the tenth day the report will be removed from the bulletin board. A paper ballot shall be prepared, under the direction of the Board of Directors, to include the nominations of Directors and other items authorized to appear on the ballot. See this Web page ongoing for additional information and next steps. To update you on our progress in getting possible Board nominees, our committee has been speaking to many residents about the upcoming ‘four’ positions that will be available on the Board. While attempting to recruit potential candidates, the responses have been less than favorable to take on this position/duty, at least in the number of residents I have personally spoken to. I have gotten some good assistance and advise from residents who have lived here in Sunshine CCE for many years, who have either been previous Board members or have run for the Board in the past. The comments and advice I have received have been enlightening and have helped me better understand how the Board’s (volunteer positions) can be somewhat demanding and time consuming for many of them wanting or accepting to take the time they feel is required. This is something I had expected when I was asked to head-up the committee. I graciously accepted the challenge and recruited a couple other residents to assist me with the search for (committed and reliable) residents who: Would have some true and sincere interest in accepting a nomination. Are willing to work together as a Team Player with the other Board Members. Would put forth their best efforts to help and keep this fantastic community that we are all partnered with (as residents). Would continue making this Development, in all aspects, the same beautiful and appealing community we all like and enjoy. Would be Proud to be a part of the highly successful environment it is today. A VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE OF THIS E-MAIL FOLLOWS. PLEASE READ COMPLETELY. I and the rest of the committee are asking ALL RESIDENTS if any of you have any interest at all in partaking in becoming a Board Member? I would like to make it a Private and Confidential sit-down/meet in person with me and the other committee members to discuss and answer each of your questions, concerns and responsibilities of the Position of becoming a Board Member. Hopefully, this may provide a more comfortable atmosphere for both those of you who have resided in Sunshine for some time, as well as the newer residents. Confidentiality, I believe, is the key ingredient so that no one will know who the nominees are until it is deemed necessary to announce them prior to election voting. An isolated/private location will be determined at a later date. I am also willing to sit down with any resident (in Private) to listen to everyone’s advice and/or opinions to HELP make this a successful process. Thank you for your assistance in helping our committee finalize the best possible Candidates for Sunshine Country Club Estates! ​ Kindest regards, Dana Weise SEPO Board Nominating Committee Chairperson (2020) Address: 4312 N.
