Thanks for your support. Many residents lined up along the Parade Route showing their support, cheering us on, tossing candy and enjoying this seasonal festivity with family, friends and neighbors. A special Thanks goes to all the entrants as their time and talent plus endurance led to this successful event. Eleven challengers vied for the prestigious Women's Club award for "best decorated". Winners were 1st Place: Terry and Rich Debackere - 2nd Place: Heidi Dill and 3rd: Kathy Walker and granddaughter Jessica. Cathy Richmond with fearless Gizmo and Share Nelson with mischievous Maggie contributed to this pet-friendly part of the entourage and the McGruffmobile was proud to have his crime fighting four legged buddies as backup. Larry Lentz and his wife Linda, (son of Alice Montgomery), new resident, new volunteer for NW Patrols and recent Citizens Police Academy graduate drove his golf cart advertising our CERT Team. Lisa (new resident) was pressed into action 30 minutes before showtime as our Firefighters were battling a field fire until the last minute - possibly not able to show up to carry Santa. Several of Santa's helpers helped dismantle her beautiful Thunderbird convertible so Santa could be chauffeured. (The reindeer had a previous engagement). Sgt. Jaime Palafox volunteered to be our lead HPD Police Car supporting efforts of our Neighborhood Watch. Bob Saylor drove the NW Golf Cart (the McGruffmobile is named after the famous crime-fighting dog Mr. McGruff). So the phrase "It takes a Village,,,," puts it mildly when you think of how many Sunshine folks were involved and our neighbors - don't forget the Choraliers, the Christmas Tree Lighting, Hot Cocoa and cookies and Santa photo op. Guess you noticed the famous gate was wide open (like having our own International Peace talks.....). Hope you and your families have a wonderful Christmas and a healthy, happy New Year. Photos available c/o Karen & Lenore Encore will download my chip and we will have more photos too.

Absolutely! What about clay garden soil, Yes. Do you have container pots filled with old soil with or without plants? Do you toss the dried up dirt and replace with big box bags of potting mix? What if you need a small amount such as a handful or quart? What if you have lots of containers? Those bags of commercial potting mix can really add up in cost. Let’s breathe new life into that old soil. That just makes sense (cents)! Reusing old potted mix is more satisfying, sustainable, and environmentally friendly. Let’s revitalize that old soil! Are you ready to dig in? Join us for our November get together featuring Michael Navarro. 4:45 pm. Plantings/cuttings are available for a small donation. Snapdragon vine, salvia, basil, porterweed, milkweed, canna starts, crown of thorns, sweet potato vine. If you have extras in your garden feel free to bring. Donations will be put towards edging for gardens.

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.

The changes approved are as follows: Elimination of the advance sign-up. Members will show up to play at either the 8:30 am launch or the 10:15 am launch. Fifteen (15) minutes before each tee time, a ball with the player’s name will be drawn for hole assignment. Golfers arriving less than 15 minutes before tee time will not be assigned to a team for that tee time. Early players who arrive late can return to play at 10:15 am. Second shift players who arrive late will need to wait until the following week to play. The fee structure has also changed. Gone is the requirement to pay $1.00 per week and a $20 membership fee. It has been replaced with a membership fee of $40.00 which covers weekly play, tournament costs and administrative costs (ink, paper, etc). Cash only will be accepted for payment. In order to have your golf ball (supplied by Matt Lyne) placed in the case for player eligibility each golfer must pay his $40.00 membership fee before playing.

Sent 2024-09-10: REMINDER (first): OCT 2024 Newsletter Articles Due by End of Day SEP 24, 2024 - Yes - It's that time of year already. The Sunshine Community 2024-2025 Winter Season (10-01-2024 thru 03-31-2024) is almost here. And I've volunteered to create your Sunshine Newsletter again this year. I made an executive decision last weekend. Since some of this winter season's activities start right off the bang near the beginning of October, I think sending the first reminder that the October 2024 Newsletter articles are due by end of day on the 24th of this month (September) is warranted. All articles need to be submitted to seponewsletter@gmail.com . And, if at all possible, please don't wait until you get the next reminder (later in September) to send me your articles. But, if you are waiting for as many details as possible to be finalized, I totally understand. This is a super way to get the word out about upcoming activities. Even if you don't have all of the information finalized by the Newsletter deadline, at least put 'what you do know so far' or even just a 'Save the Date' sentence in the Newsletter. Updated Newsletter Guidelines , dated Aug 1, 2024 , are posted on the website HERE . Prior Newsletters, which you can use as examples, can be found HERE . Let's fill this Newsletter with all kinds of good info for the Sunshine Community. Please contact me with any issues/questions. Beth Parrish, SEPO Newsletter Mgr Email: seponewsletter@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2024-08-04: NEWSLETTER Guidelines Updated - I noticed last week the Newsletter guidelines still listed the previous sepoenews email in error. I have updated the guidelines to fix a couple of grammatical errors and also to reflect sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com as the correct email for SEPO emails.

Go directly to the Year-Month Newsletter you are looking for and click on the 'News Icon". *************************** March 202 4 HAPPY St. Patrick's DAY *************************** February 2024 (Revis ed ) HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY *************************** January 2024 HAPPY NEW YEAR *************************** December 2023 MERRY CHRISTMAS *************************** November 2023 H APPY THANKSGIVING *************************** October 2023 Welcome Back Winter Texans & HAPPY HALLOWEEN Sent 2023-09-03: NEWSLETTER: Updated Guidelines and Early Reminder for October - It's that time of year when we start thinking about all of the fun times we are going to have once the Winter 2023-2024 Season arrives at Sunshine. And for me personally, that means it's time to think about the Oct 2023 Sunshine Newsletter. Yep, that's right, you all need to start thinking about those great articles you are going to be composing and sending to me, the once-again Sunshine Newsletter Editor. Normally you will be getting Newsletter Reminders on the 17th and 23rd of each month from September thru February. But since this is the first edition of the season, I'm giving you an early reminder. I spent part of Saturday reviewing and making some slight updates to the Newsletter Guidelines. The updated document is available on the website HERE . Again, I’m thinking this first Newsletter in particular, would be a great opportunity for everyone who manages or participates in one of our clubs (like Women's Club or Rock Painting) or activities (like Golf) to ‘get the word out’ about them. I’m hoping that you provide the following types of information for this Newsletter, in addition to the normal Activities info for the month of October: Club/Activity Name Contact Name(s) Is there a Board? Do you ‘meet’? If so, where and when? Are meeting minutes, etc. provided? General Description. Some of this info is on the Website (but may need to be updated ) HERE AND HERE . What needs to be updated/corrected on these pages? What else can be displayed on these pages? What additional pages do we need/want? This is a perfect opportunity: For you to review and become more familiar with the Website . For me to get the Website updated with current and correct info. Remind the community of what a great place Sunshine is to live. As always: Please provide your articles to me – by September 24 at the latest. The earlier the better. When you have your article prepared, please submit it to seponewsletter@gmail.com . If you need some examples of prior year Newsletters, they can be found HERE . Thank you all in advance for helping me get the word out and keeping the community informed. - Beth Parrish SEPO Website Admin E-Mail: seponewsletter@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Back to Top
