Neighborhood Watch & CERT Info Oct 20 22 thru Sep 2025 Sent 2024-07-31: Neighborhood Watch Reminder - Dear Friends, I wish to thank Mary Grande and all of you for doing the NW detail. Mary shares the monthly calendar. Wish we had a few more volunteers - It's not fair that only a handful of residents are supporting this. Many homes are empty, I get that - but the more the merrier for the Bad Guys to take a chance. Having a NW go around with a blinking lite messes up the rationale for the Bad Guys - they don't know if we are here or not. If they knew how many homes were left - don't you think they would be planning a move????? Please think about doing a nite or so - you will be fully oriented. Sincere THANKS! Next Tuesday 6 August 6pm - 9pm (or so) The city of Harlingen will be holding its annual National Night Out Find us at 350 Fair Park Ave. Harlingen - at Lon C Hill Park --across diagonally from the Police Department. I will be assigned a spot for NW and have a hand-out.! WE (SCCE) will have a booth there to advertise to the city what a great National Night Out we have here and how much our residents appreciate it and how much "Bad Guys' come visiting much less - and it is all a thanks to you !. Please show up - bring your easy chair and sit a bit. There will be lots of refreshments so don't make dinner! We hope many other subdivisions and homes come looking for answers to their questions about Neighborhood Watch. I expect to have a give-away trifold brochure on NW. At the moment, it is under review by our HPD Friends (et al). (Ofr. Benny) HPD Imagine how much this program would help in their community!!!!!. Many residents are not able to brag about their NW but instead they cry when the Bad Guys visit their premises and "borrow their stuff". " The local Police and many other similar groups will be there. Be there or Be square. Honestly, hope to see you there - even for a bit of time! I will place a signup sheet in the SEPO Library. There will be some of our new CPA graduates present - hope you get to meet them and possibly consider taking this class. (Citizens Police Academy) Upon graduation you then can join our CPA Alumni. y Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 Neighborhood Watch Coordinator for SCCE Citizens Police Academy Alumni Sent 2024-02-19: NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH REMINDER - Don’t forget to attend the Neighborhood Watch Meeting today at 3:00 pm. in Retzlaff Hall.

Combs, Coordinator 956 245 1276 LJCombs44@gmail.com Reminder, as I have said several times before, just want to get a few words out! The heat is not impacting the Bad Guys! They are still snooping around in the middle of the night checking to see if your car doors are locked and maybe there is other interesting stuff left out. And they are being rewarded because they are so successful. So – as a reminder……. Lights on and Lock up! We shall relive the Sunshine Vehicle Decal Program (previously endorsed by our Board). For several reasons, none worthwhile, it was sort of dropped during COVID times. But the Bad Guys have proven value and the Harlingen Police Department agrees. Jean Burgoine and I will begin this soon. We have decals for the vehicles and for our Golf Carts. Congrats to Mary Grandy and Nancy Johns who recently completed the Citizens Police Academy. Thanks to Carol and Miles who resigned for health reasons and who faithfully patrolled Sunshine for many schedules. And thanks again to those who continue to patrol.

Happy Fourth of July! On July 5th, the pool will close after the morning exercise classes. The pool will be partially drained. Our pool advisor has been advocating this for a couple of years. Immediately after the pool has finished draining, it will be refilled and chemicals added. The pool should be ready for use on the afternoon of July 6th. Please, note that the pool is closed the first Wednesday morning of each month for routine cleaning. Apparently, partially draining and refilling a pool allows the chemicals to work better. Since our pool hasn't been partially drained and refilled in years, we will see if it works. The hot tub will not be drained and will, only, be closed on Wednesday morning for its dose of monthly chemicals.

S EPO Community Emails: October 2025 Sent 2025-10-30: Upcoming Board Elections - This is just a heads-up that in February we will need to elect three new SEPO Board members. To help with this process, we’re forming a Nominating Committee. If you’d like to help identify potential candidates to represent our community—or if you’re interested in running yourself—please contact me or Gay Paxton. I’d love to have the committee, including a committee chair, formed soon. Beth Parrish has great information for the committee to use, so you’re not starting from scratch. As a reminder for those considering running: you are elected to the board, and then the board collectively decides each member’s area of responsibility. Each term lasts two years, with the option to run again after your term ends. (I’ve reached my term limit and cannot run again.) Thank you in advance for considering this opportunity to help our community. - Randy Davis, SEPO Board President Sent 2025-10-29: SEPO Covenants: Updated/Approved at Feb 10, 2025 Board Mtg (Reg) An update concerning Fences was discussed and approved to be made to the SEPO Covenants at the Feb 10, 2025 Board Mtg (Reg).

After 33 advisory letters went out last week, one of our board members reminded me that we also needed to call noncompliant property owners, per our Rules. I had initially decided not to make those calls in order to avoid taking time away from Valerie’s other duties. However, on Wednesday, October 29, we will review all properties that received advisory letters to see if they are now in compliance. If not, we’ll make follow-up phone calls and send a second seven-day notice. The first letter will be considered a friendly reminder. If compliance issues continue after the second notice, SEPO will handle the matter according to our community procedures. As your SEPO Board President, I take full responsibility for the weeds having gotten out of control in our community. Please know that I’m committed to resolving this — when you see me out on a walk, I’ll be on “weed patrol." If you notice any problem areas, please let Valerie know so we can address them promptly. Thank you all for your understanding and cooperation.

I believe I was very optimistic to say that it would be open on Monday the small amount of rain that we got today along with the water back draining into the hot tub in the pool has been detrimental to our timeframe as we need to have dry surface for the paint and product to adhere to still have tiling and tuckpointing to do around the pool and painting to do inside the pavilion the heater that was supplied to us for the hot tub was incorrect, and a commercial unit will be delivered either Wednesday or Thursday for the hot tub so timeframe wise moving forward hopefully planning on the pool to be open Tuesday or Wednesday. I will update when it is open the hot tub to be open Thursday Friday I will update sorry about the inconvenience but during the short timeframe, we can all enjoy everything being new and sparkly moving forward. 11:42 AM We have purchased a new drainage system to go around the outside of the pool and in between the pool and the hot tub. It is an obvious need of replacement, a majority of this drainage product has broken and separated from itself, adding to the ground water that we are having to deal with. This is also part of us redoing the pool for a long-term solution. Thank you for your patience.

Do not place any garbage - such as cardboard boxes, wood pieces, tiles, tires, nails, electronics, etc. - in the storage lot brush pile. This area is strictly designated for tree and bush brush only. 2. In all dog park areas, especially the small storage area dog park, we are noticing an increase in poop that is not being picked up. Specifically, it appears the owner of a medium-sized dog is not picking up after their pet in the storage area dog park. Please be respectful and keep our dog parks clean.

Sent 2026-02-06: 2026 Election Voting - Hi All - It's been a while since the 2026 Election packets were distributed to homeowners, so I thought I'd pop back in to all of your lives with a reminder about voting. Thanks to everyone who has already voted. For the rest, please deposit your ballot(s) into the locked Ballot Box that sits in front of the SEPO Office weekdays from 8 AM to 4 PM prior to 1 PM on Tuesday, February 17 which is the day of the Annual Shareholders Meeting when your votes (PLEASE VOTE) are counted. This is my third year as SEPO Election Committee Chairperson. I know in the past two years some of you have waited to vote until just a few minutes before (or even at) this 1 PM deadline. If at all possible this year, please submit your ballot(s) earlier than the absolute deadline (preferably prior to noon on Sunday, February 15 ), in order to make the lives of the Election Committee easier when counting 'attendance proxy signatures'. Who knows, you may be working on this committee in future years and absolutely appreciate this early voting request. As always, if you have any questions about the voting process, the ballots themselves or anything else, please contact a member of your Board or myself. Thanks everyone for taking an interest in the future of this great community by voting in this all important election. Beth Parrish 2026 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2026sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Newsletter 2026-02: SEPO Board President - As we move through this time of year, I would like to share a few important reminders, beginning with our upcoming HOA vote. Reminder to Vote Voting is one of the most direct ways you can participate in how our community is governed. The decisions made through this process affect our shared spaces, property values, and the overall quality of life in our neighborhood. Please take a few minutes to review the voting materials that have been provided and be sure to submit your ballot by the 2/17/26 Deadline . Every vote helps ensure decisions reflect the voice of our community. - Randy Davis, SEPO Board President Newsletter 2026-02: Election Committee Chair - SEPO 2026 Election Committee First off, I want to thank all the Election Committee members who have been very busy since the January Newsletter was published. We stuffed, sealed and sorted the Ballot Packets containing the Ballots, along with the two different envelopes you need to submit your vote (BALLOT and Attendance Proxy envelopes). The packets also contained the voting instructions. Here’s what we ended up with concerning these Ballot packets: 2026-01-10: Picked up by Homeowners in Retzlaff Hall = 123 2026-01-11: Delivered to Homeowners’ Houses = 73 2026-01-13: Picked up by Homeowners in Retzlaff Hall = 19 2026-01-13: Delivered to Homeowners’ Houses = 14 2026-01-14: Stamped envelopes that needed to be mailed. 2026-01-15: Mailed to Away Addresses = 26 2026-01-15: Mailed to Sunshine Addresses = 38 2026-01-15: One “Away” Address home sold to a current resident. It was already stamped so I changed the label and hand-delivered it to the resident at his new ‘second’ Sunshine address = 1 2026-01-15: Held for Pickup for homeowners who were on their way back to Sunshine = 12 For a total of 306 Packets. I am currently working on preparing the election ‘tally’ sheets. One set is for counting ‘attendance proxies’ and meeting ‘sign-ins’ to determine if we have a quorum to continue the Tuesday, February 17 Annual Shareholders Meeting . The other set is for tallying the votes on each of the two ballots (if we have a quorum). The locked ballot box is outside of the SEPO Office on weekdays during office hours. Please deposit your ballot(s) in this box prior to 1 PM on Tuesday, February 17 , which is the day of the Annual Shareholders Meeting when your votes (PLEASE VOTE) are counted. I’m sure most of you have heard how ‘very important’ it is that everyone votes in SEPO elections, especially this year. The proposed Covenants change in 2026 will determine if this community can start to move forward or remain at a standstill . If you need a refresher on SEPO Election details, you can find it on the website HERE . Now get out there and vote (if you haven’t already)!!! Thank you so very much. - Beth Parrish, SEPO 2026 Election Committee Chairperson Sent 2026-01-15: Elec Comm: Status of Ballot Packets - I wanted to get some ‘preliminary final’ totals out to everyone today. Some shuffling of MAIL TO SUNSHINE & MAIL AWAY and HAND DELIVERY OF ORIGINAL MAIL AWAY occurred this morning before Board member Tom Perrier and myself went to the Post Office, so a couple of the totals will shift. Once I have the ‘final final’ totals I’ll let everyone know. As of Wednesday, Jan 14, 2026 at 5 PM here’s what we ended up with: 2026-01-10: Picked up = 123 2026-01-11: Delivered to Home = 73 2026-01-13: Picked up = 19 2026-01-13: Delivered to Home = 14 2026-01-15: Mail to Away Addr = 27 2026-01-15: Mail to Sunshine Addr = 38 2026-01-15: Hold for Pickup in the next few days = 12 For a total of 306 Packets. The locked Ballot Box will be in front of the SEPO Office during office hours. The voting deadline is Feb 17, 2026 by 1 PM at the very latest. Please contact either myself or a Board Member if you have any questions at all about the voting process and/or the ballots you are voting on.

These totals aren't exact because some things have changed this morning. But they are close enough for right now for you to get the gist of where we are. We had about 43% of the community come to the Hall on Saturday to pickup their ballots , even though it was windy and cold. Thank you soooo much. And yesterday, on a very chilly day of hand-delivery to homes (by both Election Committee and Board members - Thank you all), we brought that total up to 66% . If every one of this 66%, either sign the 'attendance proxy' on the back of the envelope that goes into the Ballot Box and/or sign in at the Hall before 1 PM on Feb 17 for the Annual Meeting, we would have a quorum SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO COUNT THE VOTES . We will have ONE MORE pickup day in the Hall tomorrow, Tuesday Jan 13 from 11 am to 1 PM . Due to all of the activities taking place this week, we will be sharing the hall with a Private Event before noon and the Painting Club after noon. So please be respectful of those groups when entering the hall. BE SURE TO BRING YOUR ID WITH YOU. On Tuesday, if you don't see the Ballot Box in front of the SEPO Office, it is in the Hall. So you can sit down, ask a Board member any questions you may have and vote right then and there. At all other times the Ballot Box will be in front of the SEPO Office during weekdays when the Office is open. I know this is getting lengthy, but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE read the "Voting Instructions" sheet in your packet VERY CAREFULLY concerning what goes in which envelope. Remember - If your sealed BALLOT envelope isn't placed inside of the sealed 'voting attendance' envelope, that ballot cannot be counted and is, therefore, a NO VOTE . Please call a Board member or myself with ANY questions at all. Thank you so much for participating in this very important SEPO Election process.

The Election Committee has labelled and stuffed the election ballot packets and they are ready for distribution. I want to say upfront: If you are doing business with Valerie at her office window, and you see the ballot packets on the push cart behind her, do not ask her if you can have your ballot. You cannot. Below is the formal process for getting them to you. Thank you. So here goes. I know the weather is turning against us for a few days, but please don't let that keep you from picking up your ballots. We're doing the pickup in the hall this year. Several Board members will be in attendance to answer any questions you may have. When you enter the hall, there will be several tables along one of the walls. Look for the 8.5/11 signs (either taped to the front of the tables or taped on the walls) that display each Sunshine Street Name . Go to the table of the street you live on. Members of the Election Committee will be at these tables ready and waiting to hand you your ballot. BE SURE TO BRING YOUR ID WITH YOU. You will be required to show your ID and sign for your packet. An election committee member will sign after your signature as a witness. If you do not have your ID with you, you cannot pick up your packet. The locked Ballot Box will be in the Hall this year during pickup times. At all other times it will be in front of the SEPO Office. NOTE: The plan is to lock it in the office daily when the office closes, as has been done in the past. I, Election Committee Chair Beth Parrish, am the only one who has the key to the Ballot Box. And, oh boy, I'm hearing there may be refreshments available for everyone. Sounds good to me. Not sure what else I can say right now except see you when you come to pick up your packet.

It’s almost time to start printing everything for Ballot packet distribution (around January 11-13). The Annual meeting when your votes (PLEASE VOTE) are counted is on Tuesday, February 17. The Women’s Club is having a Pop-Up Lunch in Retzlaff Hall, served between Noon and 1:00pm, on Monday, January 5th, right before the ‘all important’ “Residents & Directors” Meeting , which begins at 1:00pm. Lunch cost is $5, per person. Please come for lunch and stay for the meeting to greet the Board candidates and ask them questions. The proposed Covenants change will also be discussed. There will not be a separate “Meet & Greet” this year. (See “Pop-Up” flyer, below.) I’m sure most of you have heard how ‘very important’ it is that everyone votes in SEPO elections, especially this year. The proposed Covenants change in 2026 will determine if this community can start to move forward or remain at a standstill. Finally, I know most of you feel overwhelmed with all the SEPO emails you receive. (I can just see you nodding your head ‘yes’.) But I can’t stress enough how important it is for the entire community to open and read all SEPO emails pertaining to the upcoming SEPO election.

Please simply hit 'reply' to the email I sent out earlier and it will automatically go to one of my committee members who is tallying your replies. - Beth Parrish 2026 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 314-960-6710 Sent 2025-12-15: 2026 SEPO Election: ACTION REQUIRED - Sunshine vs Away Address for Ballot Packet Mailing - Hi All – Knowing how important accurate information in the Sunshine Estates Property Owner (SEPO) directory is, particularly as it relates to the upcoming SEPO election, I need you to verify your data to ensure everyone who should be receiving a 2026 SEPO election ballot packet does indeed receive it. As you’ve been hearing over the past week or so, this is probably one of the most important ballots you’ve ever been asked to vote on. If you haven’t already received it, you will be getting a letter via USPS from the Board explaining what this ballot is all about. First - What the Election Committee needs is for at least one Sunshine Estates Property Owner member (someone eligible to vote) from each household to review the attached directory to ensure your Sunshine address(s) and your AWAY address (if you have one) are accurate. If the address(s) or ANYTHING ELSE needs corrected, let me know. Second – Provide which mailing address (Sunshine or AWAY ) you want on the outside envelope of your election packet. Any packets not picked up or hand-delivered to you by Jan 13, 2026 will be mailed to you between Jan 14 & 16 via USPS. NOTE: If no address is specified in your reply to this email, the election packet will be mailed to your Sunshine address. FYI: We need the same information for those homes that are in an LLC or currently in a Trust. IN SUMMARY – the Election Committee needs the following info in your reply to this email: Are your address(s) correct? What address should go on the outside envelope of your election packet? Is your ‘other information’ correct? Please reply by noon on Sunday, December 21, AT THE LATEST. Thank you for your rapid reply so that the Election Committee can get to work. NOTE: The spreadsheet that was attached to this email can be found HERE . - Beth Parrish 2026 SEPO Election Committee Chairperson 2026sepoeleccomm@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2025-12-09: Preparing for "All Things" 2026 SEPO Election - I know - You are probably thinking - It's crazy to be talking about the 2026 SEPO Election already.

We have already begun working on our tasks. As your Sunshine website Mgr, as in the past, I have added web pages to display election info ongoing.

Any Ballot Packets not picked up were mailed on Wednesday, Jan 17, 2024. So, look for them in your mailbox soon, if you haven’t received them already.

Then they answered residents’ questions. I personally want to thank all of them for stepping up. I know my time on the Board was very rewarding and I LEARNED A LOT. The proposed Covenants ballots were explained by Share Nelson (president) with input from other Board members, followed by many great questions from residents. I explained and answered questions about the actual voting process and the various documents contained in the Ballot Packets. Then we ate goodies provided by the Women's Club. PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE! Ballots must be turned in no later than 1:00 PM on Tuesday, February 20, 2024. The Ballot Box is in front of the SEPO office. And to emphasize - If you do not turn in your vote, it will be counted as a ‘disapprove/no’ vote.

A Board member even found one that had been shoved under the Office door and just lying on the floor. And yes, the Ballot Box was in it's current position when the envelopes mentioned above were found. Please respect the SEPO Election rules.

We thought we were recording the "Meet & Greet" session via Google Meet, but have not received anything from Google. And I'm betting we don't. For my own benefit, I had turned on my tape recorder. Although you may hear some paper rustling in the background, I think for the most part, this will provide valuable information to those who could not attend the session yesterday. And to those who did, it can be a refresher. Here's another kicker - darn it. I didn't look down to see my recorder wasn't on until after the three candidates had introduced themselves. I so totally apologize for missing that section. The recording does start: When I opened the session up to questions to the Board candidates. That was followed by an explanation of the three ballots by the Board, followed by lots of very good questions. Then I spoke and also answered questions about the ballot / voting processes themselves. Again, lots of great questions were asked. And we munched on sweets provide by the Women's Club throughout the entire event. Yum.

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 !!!

I definitely want to ensure everyone - it was a 'technical' error. The Google Meet session said it was recording and I verified to Tony just prior to the meeting that I thought it was as well. You will hear that on the recording I'm linking to below. However, the meeting did not get recorded. Normally Tony gets an e-mail from Google within 2-5 hrs after the meeting stating the video is available for downloading. This time - no e-mail - no video. In order for me to be accurate and thorough (or as some may interpret as lengthy - LOL) I also start my tape recorder at the beginning of all of our meetings. In order to be totally transparent with the community, which I guess you could call this Board's motto, I have uploaded my tape recording to the Web site for anyone who wishes to listen to the meeting. Please remember, this recorder is lying beside my laptop, and I also shuffle through lots of paper during a meeting, so you will hear those noises as well. I have listened to the entire tape, and you will definitely be able to hear what transpired during the meeting. It is a ".mp3" file and is available: from the Residents Meetings Web site page or directly from this link . As I have stated previously, a recap of all Speaker Requests (which there were five of them during the Residents meeting on Dec 13) will also be recorded into the Board meeting minutes from Dec 14, which I will be sending to the community next week. Please call me with any issue/questions.

At this meeting we did have five Speaker Requests. As per process, these will be documented as part of the minutes from the Dec 14, 2021 Regular Board Meeting.

(Beth Parrish) There is a Cane toad living near us that we see nightly. It is the most poisonous toad in America, especially dangerous to dogs. If they lick the toad the toxins on its skin can kill them! I fear there may be more of them around. While they are nocturnal, they hide in shady places where inquisitive dogs may find them.

SUNSHINE HEROES Wall of Honor (Started Jan 8, 2020) *************** Sent 2020-11-14: Sunshine Heroes Wall of Honor - Project Background - It was decided here at Sunshine that we would recognize our neighbors, not for a single act of heroism but their heroic service. We wanted to recognize the people from our community who made a commitment to give part of their lives for the benefit of others. This is what the SUNSHINE HEROES Wall of Honor represents. It is our way to recognize them and say thank you for your service. Last Spring in Retzlaff Hall, we unveiled our Sunshine Heroes Wall of Honor complete with their engraved names on an individual metal plate. There is also a Memory Book of photos of our heroes. This touching monument serves as a reminder that many of our residents sacrificed their lives for the freedom we enjoy today. (See picture below.) You may support this wall by completing an application and some brief information (form available at SEPO Office). We would like a photo in uniform. Jim Tennant is available for questions 616 866 9960. What is a Veteran? - whether retired, discharged, active duty or reserve – is someone who at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to ”The United States of America” for an amount up to and including his or her life. (Author unknown) What Is A Hero? - Dictionary.com defines a hero as a person noted for courageous acts or nobility of character. A true hero is someone who gives of themselves for the benefit of others, sometimes at great personal risk. There are many in our community who have given parts of their lives in the service of our country regardless of the risk. There are those who have chosen a career of community service – Law enforcement, First Responders and Fire Fighters are examples. All these people have given freely of themselves for the benefit of others. These are a few examples of what we can all recognize as heroes, but we do not usually honor them for their service. If you save a person from a car accident or give CPR to someone you would be recognized for heroism. The person who donates blood to help others is a hero. A person who may donate an organ or bone marrow is a hero. Are these very special people any more heroic then the others who served us? Jim Tennant Sent 2020-03-21: SUNSHINE HEROES - As another winter season comes to a close, I just want to give you all a reminder about the SUNSHINE HEROES wall. In case you haven’t seen it, the wall is up in Retzlaff Hall and has 41 names on it. Those of you who have made a pledge for this project, I will be coming around this week to collect. I want to thank all those who have donated to this project both monetarily and with their time and labor. The applications are still available from Valerie in the SEPO office. When you complete your application return it to Valerie along with your picture. If you do not have a picture or prefer a current picture be sure to check the box on the form that you will need a picture taken. I will be contacting you upon my return in the fall to take a current picture for this book. Remember as we travel home to be safe and when you get there find your favorite picture of you or your spouse, in uniform or not, to be placed in the book that is placed with the display wall. I want to have this SUNSHINE HEROS display to represent all of the people who served. Jim Tennant 4161 N Missouri (616)866-9960 Email: jimbuck1050@yahoo.com Sent 2020-02-20: SUNSHINE HEROES UPDATE - This is a final call for this season for our residents who served in the armed forces of all nations and the men and women in our community who served as Police Officers, Fire Fighters and EMT/First Responders. The service wall plans are moving along. The wall display is to recognize residents living and deceased where the surviving spouse or other relation resides within the estates. I will be available in the library on March 12, 2020 between 10:00 and 12:00 to take pictures and accept applications. If you have a picture I will be accepting them at these times. If residents want their picture or their spouse’s picture included on the wall they will need to fill out an application form. These forms are available in the office. Check with Valerie to get one, or see me. My information is below. She also has pledge forms available if you need one. The picture you provide for use will be copied and returned, please write on the application form so that I can return your picture. All name plates and pictures that are placed on the wall and in the book should remain there indefinitely. I want to inform our residents on the status of this project. The wall is installed and the name plates are ordered. Engraving is being done on 28 of the plates, as that is the amount of applicants we had when the order was placed. Additional plates will be engraved as we receive applications. The pledges that I asked for at the Annual Meeting are coming in with many neighbors preferring to make cash donations rather than a pledge. I am keeping an accounting of all donations and expenditures and will make it available for anyone to see upon request. It is hoped that the first name plates will be on the wall very soon. Thank you for your pledges and donations towards this project and for those still to come in. Jim Tennant, 4161 N Missouri, 616-866-9960, Email jimbuck1050@yahoo.com Sent 2019-12-27 Newsletter: Wall of Honor - This is a 2nd call for all our residents who served in the armed forces of all nations and the men and women in our community who served as police officers, fire fighters and first responders. The service wall plans are moving along. The wall display is to recognize residents living and deceased where the surviving spouse or other relation resides within the estates. I will be available in the library on January 8th between 10:00 and 11:00 also 1:30 to 2:30 to accept pictures and applications. If you do not have a picture, I will be taking pictures at these times. This will be a wall similar to the ones in place in Retzlaff Hall to honor the golfing achievements. It will have a title at the top stating the purpose. The name plates below containing the name of the honoree the type of service and dates of service.

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.

Everyone attending this event “in person”, by their presence, acknowledges potential exposure to Covid-19. Each person is responsible for his/her own choice as it relates to attending events.

Lights On -- Lock Up and Look Out for each other! CAMERA & Surveillance TASK FORCE 25 Jan 2021 1pm w HPD Lenore J. Combs, Coordinator 956 245 1276 LJCombs44@gmail.com Dear NW-CERT Volunteers, Residents and Friends, Yesterday, Monday, 25 January, we met with Harlingen Police, District Representatives led by Sgt. Charles Fechner and Officers Elizondo, Moreno and Bravo. Last week, on Friday, 22 January about 12 SCCE interested volunteers did a “walk-about” via golf carts around SCCE. The mission was to become familiar with Bad Guy hot spots and explore surveillance possibilities for Sunshine. We wanted to be prepared to have a conversation with Harlingen Police on their recommendations based on our findings and their experience. We had a suggested “cheat sheet” from the Bureau of Justice and other like organizations and took notes. We now shared our findings with the Police. They listened to our concerns, toured the Estates and made some recommendations. This is not meant to endorse any products but to be used as an example of what is out there. Many home-owners personally choose a “Ring” system which has many components designed for your needs – from simple to extravagant. There are several reputable vendors locally with other options. Bottom line – the responsibility is yours. A simple thing we can all do is place solar lighting around areas that are always dark. A specific report will be forthcoming from Bill Peterson and Tom Gossins on cameras etc. and on the Sensaphone System. Included in this walk-about was aging cameras in the Woodshop, the IR Sensaphone system in the Woodshop and Storage Lot, Valerie’s cameras in the Office and the bank of Cameras at the Front Gate. The cameras belong to SEPO but once upon a time we had many various volunteers who shared the responsibility to “keep track of and etc.” “It takes a Village” By and by, we lost our faithful volunteers and the task fell by the wayside. So recently it was brought back to life. This planning exercise surfaced in December 2020 over conversations regarding concern for our overall security in SCCE. It was further explored with the NW Camera Task Force volunteers who responded to a call-out. (some volunteers are not NW but were interested SCCE residents.) Even though we have had comparatively less criminal mischief disturbances than other similar communities we are not immune and should stay on top of security to keep us safe. Respectfully, Lenore J. Combs Sent 2021-01-26: ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A COMPANION - Looking for a home for our cat. Haseyfu is a mellow 18 year old cat. He is declawed on front paws. He is current on all vaccines.

Meet at the Gazebo at 7:30 a.m. Dress for the weather. Tomorrow should be much like today - cool and sunny. Bring binoculars and something to write on. We will gather and split into two groups. One group will ride their golf carts around our community. The other group will use cars to canvass the area assigned to us outside of Sunshine. Ralf Peterson will tabulate our results and forward them on to someone on the state or national level. FYI: This annual bird count takes place throughout the U.S. It is called the Christmas Bird Count because it takes place around Christmas. Any wild birds cited during the 24 hour period are counted. Chickens and farm ducks are not counted. Wild turkeys are included.
