Carnival is another common name for Pre-Lenten festivities because in Latin carnelevarium means to take away or remove meat. Dear Friends, Mark your calendars for Tuesday - 16 February 2021. Our Women’s Club is the sponsor and Eileen Anderson and Marian Young are points of contact. Looking for lots of volunteers and great ideas – contact Eileen at 507 317 0296 and or Marian 719 468 4556. Eileen and Marian can plan a meeting. * This is an initial announcement for this Mardi Gras event – so start forming your ideas and Krewes - do your colors. Prizes will be awarded. Here’s a little history to get you in the spirit. Mardi Gras, is traditionally celebrated as “Fat Tuesday” before Ash Wednesday and is the start of Lent. It is a tradition dating back thousands of years to pagan spring and fertility rights. The first Mardi Gras took place in March 1699 when French explorers landed in New Orleans where they held a small celebration dubbed Port du Mardi Gras. In the decades that followed, New Orleans and other French settlements began marking the holiday with street parties, masked balls and lavish dinners. In 1857, a secret society of New Orleans businessmen called the Mistick Krewe of Comus organized a torch-lit Mardi Gras procession with marching bands and rolling floats setting the tone for future public celebrations. These iconic colors have meaning – Purple is for justice, gold is power and green stands for faith. Since then, these krewes have remained a fixture of the Carnival scene including throwing beads, wearing masks, decorating floats and eating King cake. Let’s add Sunshine to the map!

I have posted the correct answers in the library. The two winners were Bill and Janet Peterson and Donn and Diane Perkins. One team received a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream and the other team received a $25 gift card to HEB which were supplied by the Sunshine Women's Club.

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.

Many residents had questions, suggestions, opinions etc. during the Information meeting. Several residents stated the ‘rumors’ they were hearing around the community. We hope residents left the meeting feeling prepared to vote on the proposed ballots. This meeting was not on Google Meet, and therefore, not recorded. We are asking those in attendance to assist in answering questions etc and clearing up rumors they have heard from their friends and neighbors. In fact, the final statement at the meeting was from a resident asking the attendees to do just that. As was stated during the meeting, these ballots are not proposals to benefit the Board. They are not ‘for’ the Board. They are proposals from the Board that we hope you believe will benefit the entire community. The ballots have been on the Web site for a few days now HERE . PLEASE NOTE: These ballots have not yet been delivered to Owners. The Board will be taking one final look at them during the Jan 10 Board meeting. It’s possible some modifications may be made, before turning them over to the Election Committee to start processing them.

These SEPO Homeowners have met the requirements and are in good standing in the Sunshine Estates Community. All Nominees have been interviewed by one or more Nominating Committee members and were considered by this Committee for nomination based upon their responses to the questions asked of them. We have attached the BIOs we received from each Nominee. During the January 5, 2026 SEPO “Residents & Directors” meeting the Nominating Committee will move that the SEPO Board place the names of these nominees on the 2026 ballot. Phillip Lay William Petersen Tracy Wagner This announcement, along with the Nominees’ BIOs, will be posted outside the SEPO Office today and can be found on this website HERE .

We are in the process of locating talented SEPO Homeowner volunteers who would like to serve on the SEPO Board of Directors or who would be willing to assist the Secretary or Treasurer in their positions. Experience and willingness to learn and grow is a plus for homeowners (or their spouses) wishing to volunteer. We need to fill three of the current Board members' positions whose terms are ending in February 2026. There are a total of seven positions that make up the SEPO Board and they are: Officers: President, Secretary and Treasurer Director Golf Course Director Common Area 1 (SEPO Buildings) Director Common Area 2 (Streets, Drainage & Irrigation Ditches and Texas Ave) Director Common Area 3 (Storage & Shop Area, Tennis/Shuffleboard). Who ends up holding each of these positions is determined at the required Organizational Meeting held immediately following the Annual Meeting in February each year. This means a Board member may hold a position this year but may not necessarily retain that position during their second year. It’s up to the Board members to make this determination amongst themselves. If you are undetermined as to whether you would like to serve on the SEPO Board, please ask yourself the following: Do you have ideas about how your community can be managed more efficiently? Would you like to become more involved in your HOA's daily operation? Do you have the time, dedication, and enthusiasm to regularly volunteer your skills for the benefit of your community? If you would like to be considered as a SEPO Board Candidate, please contact any Nominating Committee member to set up an interview. If you know a homeowner (or their spouse) who you think would make a valuable Board member, please contact the Nominating Committee. Please come to the Resident's Meeting today, Tuesday, Dec 8, 2025 to find out more. Thank you all in advance for your consideration.

We have many donated items, such as patterns, tools, glass, etc., so you need nothing but your own imagination, and your two hands, and a desire to try this art form. Classes are held in the woodshop, which is located in the storage area, and you will need your front gate clicker in order to enter. There is no exact order for the classes, so if you miss a week, that is not a problem. I am hoping to have a few other glass artists to assist in helping people feel more comfortable working with the glass. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. If I don't answer, please leave me a voicemail and I will promptly return your call. - Cathy Chajec, 708-280-8910 Back to Top *************** COMPLETE Coffee & Donuts Sent 2024-11-06: Coffee & Donuts in the Library - I wanted to let everyone know that 'Coffee & Donuts' will be available again this winter season on every Thursday in the Library @ 8 AM, starting tomorrow (Nov 7).

This was discussed in the Women's Club meeting last Friday and it was agreed that we would support it. There is a table setup in the library where you can participate in this effort if you choose to. Each tag on the tree has the name of a child, whether they are a girl or a boy and their age. You take a tag, put your name on the list and then purchase a gift of not more than $20. Do not wrap the gifts, just attach the tag to the gift. Then put the gift in the box under the table. I know this seems early in the year, but the deadline for this drive is November 23. Lenore will also be doing a separate drive at a later time for toys for the Police department and the Marines. Any questions can be directed to Rich Hulswit at (701) 566-1257. Thank you and God Bless. - Cindy Hulswit Back to Top

In Memoriam Tributes 2021 Marian Seelye (September 8, 2021) It is with a sad heart to announce the passing of Marian Seelye, mother of JoAnne Anderson, and past resident of Sunshine. Marian had just come to stay with JoAnne and ultimately make a trip here. Marian laid down for a nap, JoAnne went to check later and she had gone peacefully with the Angels. Marian was special - she was the SCCE Choir Director several years ago for many years and assisted putting on many wonderful shows here, especially at the holidays. She also had her Choir group sing occasionally with the Sunday Night Sunshine Jammers and was a presence in many of Lassey's productions. And she made some great dishes for our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. We will miss you but remember the "Good Old Days". God Bless American and God bless you and your family. Condolences can be sent to JoAnne Anderson (daughter) 22931 185th Street Detroit Lakes, MN 56501 Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 2020 Steve Phillips (May 3, 2020) Sorry for short email earlier, not thinking real clear. If I may share some more... " My husband, Steve, passed away hours ago....Saturday night. He had another pulmonary embolism, he had one about five years ago. He has not felt good for weeks, but the Dr couldnt do a MRI because of covid. (Only emergencies, and his wasnt at the time) I dont know that they would have discovered it if so, but they did last time. I followed the ambulance to the hospital, and was with him about a hour before the Drs told me there was nothing they could do, and he was gone. He passed in the ambulance, but they recovered him, only to lose him in the hospital. The Drs said he had huge blood clot in both lungs and kidney failure. I'm still in shock. (I have asked family not to travel here, as it would be devastating to cause covid virus in anyone) Steve and I were very private people, but we dearly love our family and friends...in Texas and Oklahoma, also our dear friends we have made in Harlingen. Steve was incredibly proud of being the President of the men's golf here in Sunshine Country Club Estates and his three best buddies he golfed with daily. Also, his music making pal Wade, who would attest to what an amazingly gifted musician Steve was. Steve was the smartest person I've ever known and I will cherish our ten years together. We rock and rolled many nights away. His best friends in Dallas enjoyed his musical talents long before I met him, and were like family to him (and me). I dont imagine there will be a service here, with covid virus...but in about a month I will take his ashes/remains to Dallas, hopefully, and celebrate his life with friends and family there. I'm so sorry Steve's son, Jonathan has lost his father, along with Jonathan's wife and four children, and his other family members. Also, my family will miss him dearly. Ten years can make a lifetime of memories, and it did. Please be patient if I dont answer calls or the door too quickly, I am still trying to figure out what life is now, and that will take some time. We all have losses, recovering from them is an individual journey. My # is 214 549 3993 if any questions. Tomorrow seems far away right now. ♡ Irene Phillips Back to Top

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.

Details: No fee (most HOAs, RV resorts charge a fee). Shop is open to members year-round. Shop is a 40' by 60' building. Woodworking building holds the latest and some of the best woodworking tools around. The lathes are used often. Members can work with power equipment after attending a Safety and Information class. Officers (for 2025, effective starting Jan 2025): President - Nancy Lyne Vice President - Hal Resides Treasurer - Richard Hulswit Secretary - Cathy Chajec Contacts: Please contact Nancy Lyne with any questions. Monitors: They are all volunteers. There must always be a monitor in the shop for safety reasons. Only monitors have keys to the shop. During winter months, monitors sign up on our calendar to monitor woodshop activities. The SEPO Office has a copy of this calendar. There is usually a monitor who goes to work on projects. As long as a monitor has the shop open, woodworkers who have had the "safety training" are welcome to come in and work OR check out equipment (small items like hand tools, ladders etc.) for a minimum of three days. In fairness to the Monitors, if there is little activity, they may close early, so if you wait until five (5) minutes before closing time, you may be disappointed. If you have a crisis need, you can contact any Monitor to find a time other than the above. Hours: Normal (Winter Seasons) - Monday thru Friday - Woodshop is open for use (as long as a 'monitor' is available) from 9:00 am to noon AND 1 to 4 pm. Saturday and Sunday - It is 'hit or miss'. But a monitor is usually there working on projects. Normal (Summer Seasons) - Open only when a monitor is there. It is kind of a catch 22. If anyone needs in the shop they can always call a monitor. Orientation: Woodshop orientation sessions for new residents/renters or anyone who would like a refresher course are generally held during the Winter seasons by John Chajec (708-280-8940). He notifies the community via SEPO email when these classes are scheduled. Meetings: Woodworker Meetings are held the 2nd Monday of every month beginning October through March. They start at 1 PM and last about one hour or less. Cleanup: Woodshop cleanup is the first Tuesday of every month at 7:30 AM and takes about an hour. Volunteers are most welcome. The Woodworkers sponsor a Spaghetti Dinner every winter for the residents. All proceeds are utilized for equipment, supplies etc. in the Woodshop. ******************** Back to Top Previous Woodshop Info Winter Season: 2025-2026 Sent 2025-12-15: Wood Shop Orientation Class Wednesday December 17th 5 pm - UPCOMING WoodShop Orientation Class Wednesday Dec 17th 5 pm in the wood shop.

Sure enough, in these pictures you can see our own Vic Hillman hard at work. The woodworkers can work much more safely now. Suzie told me they shut down in a nano-second when flesh contacts the blade! We have 2 of them. Beth Parrish SEPO Web site Admin (FROM Newsletter: 03-2020) Woodworkers' Club Report - The Woodshop now has two SAWSTOPs (see pictures below) up and functioning; and both saws are paid for!! Our thanks to the SEPO residents/Woodshop Members who supported the fundraising effort to pay for the second saw after the Woodworker’s treasury paid for the first saw. Our thanks to Pat Harvey for leading the SAWSTOP effort and his committee members who put in hundreds of hours transitioning from the older table saws to the SAWSTOPs. Jack Berning, Richard McCorkle, Kelly Kennedy, Steve Valmossoi, Vic Hillman, and Vern Luellen are thanked for helping with the installation of the new saws. Members are finding the new saws easy to use and, of course, safer. Feel free to visit the Woodshop because we’d like to show off the new equipment. Suzie Sawyer, President Back to Top

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. The first date for 2024-2025 season is November 5, 2024. In order to accommodate players who wish to play on November 5, Matt Lyne and Jerry Wetherbee will be available to collect membership fees from 7:30 am to 8:00 am, and from 9:30 am to 10:00 am. Alternatively, if you wish to pay early you may drop your $40.00 off with either Matt or Jerry prior to the November 5 start date.

This was discussed in the Women's Club meeting last Friday and it was agreed that we would support it. There is a table setup in the library where you can participate in this effort if you choose to. Each tag on the tree has the name of a child, whether they are a girl or a boy and their age. You take a tag, put your name on the list and then purchase a gift of not more than $20. Do not wrap the gifts, just attach the tag to the gift. Then put the gift in the box under the table. I know this seems early in the year, but the deadline for this drive is November 23. Lenore will also be doing a separate drive at a later time for toys for the Police department and the Marines. Any questions can be directed to Rich Hulswit at (701) 566-1257.
