Storage Room / Shed From Newsletter: 2025-10 - As the Women’s Club prepares for another active season, we eagerly anticipate our members’ return and their continued involvement in our upcoming events. It looks to be another amazing season! For all those serving as chair, co-chair, or assisting with any occasion (including holiday dinners and special celebrations) it is important to review the following storage room and shed procedures. The Women’s Club utilizes a storage room located in Retz Hall, as well as two sheds situated within the fenced storage lot. The storage room is a shared space, accommodating the needs of The Rock Club, Quilters, Thursday Night Potluck and also providing shelving for the Men’s and Women’s Golf groups. Each area within the room is clearly marked to ensure easy identification and organization. Last year, our primary objectives focused on improving organization within our storage spaces. This included sorting and labeling items to create a more systematic arrangement. Whenever possible, items were packed away in clear totes to enhance visibility and accessibility. Additionally, efforts were made to eliminate the use of cardboard boxes to further streamline storage and eliminate the bug problem that they often brought. This year, the main objectives will be to complete a high-level inventory that will allow us to monitor what is available, preventing unnecessary purchases, and ensuring that resources are used efficiently. Secondly, we plan to review and remove items that are unlikely to be utilized by the Women’s Club. By streamlining our inventory and freeing up valuable space, we will improve organization and make future activities run more smoothly. If you need help locating specific items or verifying whether an item is available to support your event, please let me know – I’m always happy to assist. This will ensure that you can efficiently find what you need and make the most of our club’s resources. Maintaining order in these spaces involves returning, repacking, and storing items in a manner that they can be reused in the future. Stay tuned for next month’s newsletter. It will contain important detail pertaining to our two storage sheds. Liz Deitrick, Storage Chairperson 512-304-5405 ekdeitrick@gmail.com Back to Top

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.

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.

I suggest you check your stuff.. Seems like point of entry was shabby gates. We checked the condition of our resaca gates on the ridge off Missouri. They are probably not a challenge to them either!. They were "fixed" a while back but probably could use a facelift with some updated security measures. SEPO Board is aware and we shall share info today. Last week Norm Pankow and I were invited to Paradise Park by Sgt Michael Brooks. They recently had some Bad Guys visit them too. Now they are reconsidering a Neighborhood Watch. Guess what - we discussed to ID dark spots, place solar lighting, locking up stuff - sound familiar????? Seems they don't have a No Trespassing sign ..... Another thing in common was a favorite entry point for the Bad Guys. Also met an old friend who attended Citizens Police Academy with us - we shall keep in touch. 2 Bad Guys and all of us - why are they winning????? 😞 HPD has talked to us for 10 years. -- Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 Coordinator NW - CERT Team Sunshine CC Estates Sent 05-06-2019: Estate Sales and Garage Sales advisory - Dear Friends - Our friend and neighbor, Virginia Carubia will have an Estate Sale on May 30, 31 and 1 June Thursday, Friday and Saturday - all day..

Call in suspicious activity 956 216 5940 (PD Dispatch) -- have your little piece of info ready. Thank you. Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 Coordinator NW-CERT *********************************************************************************** NW CERT Estate Sale vs Garage Sale, April 2019 Sunshine Neighborhood Watch – CERT Team (Est. 2008) SCCE - Harlingen’s premier NW & CERT Team. Lights On -- Lock Up and Look Out for each other! Lenore J. Combs, Coordinator 956 245 1276 LJCombs44@gmail.com Officer Alicia Garcia, NW HPD District Representative A Garage sale is typically the sale of someone’s unwanted household items usually held in your garage or driveway. A Yard sale has so much stuff it tends to spill into your yard. It’s not very structured and is a fun day in the community. An Estate sale is the sale of items from an estate to sell items from the home. Many Estate Sales are managed by companies hired by the individual to help with selling an entire home of possessions. More businesslike – usually goes 3 days. A Garage - Yard sale at Sunshine – residents are all out there and it attracts many residents who may also have their sale. Great social day too. An Estate sale is a business function and the Company does a call out to “their friends and associates” to enhance the buying power from their wide customer base as well as place ads professionally to advertise in advance via print and social media, website etc. Safety and security concerns increase. The customer base is expanded. This summer, many Winter Texans are already home. Please sign up for random Neighborhood Watch Patrols for these days. You can use your own golf cart. Wear your orange vest – it speaks volumes. The special signup sheet and details are in the Library on the NW bulletin board. Concern will also be for reasonable care so the streets have enough room for an emergency vehicle to get thru Senin a hurry. Please contact me if you can help or have questions. Thanks. Back to Top

Have a good summer! - Tom Perrier Sent 2023-04-20: Golf Course Maintenance - All of the following information is contingent on the weather (rain, wind conditions, etc.): At noon Wednesday, April 26, we will begin aerating the greens. 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. Also as needed, there will be periodic spraying to kill clover and encroaching carpet grass in small sections of the course. Thank you for your patience.

In an effort to not have SEPO pay more for additional storage space, I have been reviewing the larger files that are linked to on the site. As I suspected our meeting videos took up LOTS of space. 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. The Residents' meetings video are all still accessible on the website. I will be continuing with this effort the next couple of weeks.

Other Sunshine Amenities will be displayed soon but are currently: SEPO Email sent to the Sunshine Community on 2025-11-10 - NEED: More Sunshine Properties Info & Pictures (please help me) - It never fails. Every time I'm out on our Sunshine website I see pages which say, "under construction" or "check back soon for more details". I'm sure folks have stopped going to those pages, because some of them have been like that for years. This page is a perfect example. However, I never seem to be able to find time to go around and take pictures of these areas. Of course, there are other pages needing work, but I would like to start with this one. What I'm looking for, to begin with, is someone(s) to take pictures of these areas. Some places could/should have only fix or six pics. Other areas could have lots of pics. I know some of you are excellent at taking pictures, particularly at Women's Club events. How many of you can spare a little time to help me out with this endeavor. DON'T BE SHY. My door (or my email box) is always open. I anxiously await some replies.

Hope all is well with you wherever you are. JUST A REMINDER CONCERNING SEPO COMMUNICATIONS I know lots of you are members of the Facebook page, which is currently titled "Sunshine Country Club Estates Official Group." I also know lots of you don't even use Facebook and don't want to have anything to do with it. You prefer to rely on SEPO Communications to obtain your info. And it's my job (albeit volunteer work) to get that info to everyone. I do occasionally get out to the Facebook site mentioned above, but not every day. When I do, I sometimes see articles posted there that are perfectly suited to also be a SEPO Community Email. If I see something on Facebook, but it didn't also get sent to sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com I try to make sure I get it sent in a SEPO email as well, and put (From Facebook) in the signature line. Then I make sure the info is posted on the Sunshine Website. What I'm asking with this email is that, if you post a "Sunshine Activity / Event" on this Facebook page, that you be sure to also send it to me so I can send it to the SEPO community. FYI - I did get multiple comments this past winter season from non-Facebook users about not getting info. Thanks to everyone upfront for keeping folks informed about what is going on in the great community we all live in.
