Sunshine Country Club Estates O'Clockers Golf Group Rules (Updated & Approved by SEPO Board on 01-11-2024) O'Clockers Golf is a golf event approved by the SEPO Board. Therefore, it shall adhere to all the same rules as other SEPO approved golf events. Play shall commence at 4:00 pm each day. Golfers should arrive no later than 10 minutes prior. Teams will be assigned five (5) minutes prior to assure a 4:00 PM tee off. Play may be delayed, postponed or canceled when conflicting with special events (i.e., Good Neighbor Day Golf Tournament). (NOTE: During warmer months the start time often gets pushed back to avoid the worst heat of the day.) O'Clockers Golf is open to all Sunshine Country Club Estate residents and renters and their immediate family and guests. This is a shotgun start, best ball scramble. Teams and start hole will be determined by a random draw. The number of start holes and team size will be determined by the number of players present. At no time shall any team exceed five players and no more than three 3-person teams is allowed. No advance signup is necessary. Player's meet in the parking lot outside the SEPO office. Team ‘one’ will commence play on hole one and other teams will start on consecutive holes two, three, four etc. There is no cost to play and no prize monies are paid. In an effort to accommodate all golfers not participating in O’Clockers Golf, individual players may tee off following the scramble team on hole one. Participants shall adhere to normal golf etiquette by allowing players already on the course to complete their hole before proceeding. Example: The scramble consists of four teams starting on holes one through four. There is already a group on hole two preparing to tee off. O’Clockers Golf teams on hole one, three and four may proceed to tee off. But the scramble team on hole two must wait until the group already there completes that hole and moves on. The course is not closed for this scramble. Therefore, all players need to be courteous and respectful toward all golfers. Print Here 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. Beth has put this new process on the website on the 'SEPO Forms and Processes' page HERE or the 'Access to Kitchen Area' page HERE . - JIM KENNEDY, SEPO DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL AREA ​ Sent 2023-03-25: Combes residents water rates - To all SEPO residents who reside in Combes We are proposing a fact-finding meeting with the former mayor of Combes in regards to the situation with our water costs today and the potential increases in rates to come for SEPO residents in Combes. 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. Thank you, Fred and Sandy Lowe Any questions you can call Fred at 913-534-1369 ​ Sent 2023-03-24: Farewell party - One week till the farewell party!

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.

In order to post, you will need to join the "Sunshine Country Club Estates Official Group" or be invited to join by one of the current members. ​ Any resident and all Sunshine Clubs/Groups can post announcements themselves or find a friend to help post them. I am also available to help anyone who has issues with or questions about posting. ​ There are already lots of super posts out there. ​ - Pam Adams Sent 2023-03-22: UNAPPROVED: SEPO Board Meeting (Special) Minutes, Mar 22, 2023 - The video from the Mar 22, 2023 Special Board meeting is now available for viewing on the Sunshine Web site HERE and directly from HERE .

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. If you have any to submit, let me know. -- Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276 Sent 2019-12-17: HELLO ALL - I'm back from Vacation - Hi All - I'm back from Vac and will be resuming the SEPO communications responsibilities today.

Combs, Coordinator 956 245 1276 LJCombs44@gmail.com A few words: We will NOT have a June NW-CERT meeting this month but hope to resume in July. My plan is to have a brief meet ‘n greet open house in Retzlaff Hall for an introduction, fellowship and dessert. We can also plan some classes. I will invite the Harlingen PD, Combes PD, the local EMS and the Harlingen Fire Department. The McGruffmobile: The “driver side” door came in and Charlie Gardner will put it on. The “passenger” side will be taken off and a new vinyl window replaced. May need some addition help with reassemble. The McGruffmobile - The Black Case has current resident info. We will have two (2) new Fire Extinguishers. The First Aid Box is current. The JULY schedule should be out soon, and Linda will send it to me. Lesson for the day: This season is forecasted to be wetter and warmer so Hurricane preparation may become a familiar part of our vocabulary. A word about our pets – Make sure you have a plan for Fluffy and Fido and other critters. If sudden emergencies arise there will be less stress if you include a plan for your pets. If evacuation is quick, having some extra supplies on hand is a good idea. Also, talking to your Veterinarian for other advice; being aware some public shelters may not be equipped to handle pets; some hotels do not allow pets etc. Is your pet microchipped? Maybe consider planning with neighbors, friends or relatives for availability to care or evacuate your pets if you are unable to do so. You can contact your local animal shelter if you are unsure how to care for your pet during an emergency. How ‘bout an Emergency Kit for your pet? Think about the basics for survival – food, water, meds. Maybe have 2 kits – one if you are sheltering in place and a lightweight version if you are evacuating. Remember to ensure contents stay fresh. Here’s a suggested list – several days of food, water, bowls, meds, collar w ID – harness, leash, crate or carrier, grooming needs, sanitations stuff- litter box, litter, newspapers, paper towels, trash bags etc. Don’t forget a picture of you and your pet together for ID purposes. And don’t forget their favorite toys. One more thing….. John and I are up to specs with COVID-19 instruction guidelines and are offering several classes free in a COVID-safe environment for all NW-CERT volunteers. We can review Hands-Only CPR and review the AED. First Aid and STOP-THE-BLEED are an option If we have a chance and maybe we can cover Near-drowning.

Valerie Basaldua SEPO Office ​ Sent 2020-06-08: VOLUNTEER NEEDED: Women's Club SEPO Newsletter Editor - Hi All. I hope everyone’s summer is going well. I’ve waited before sending this out to see what my time allocation between SEPO communications and being on the Board would turn out to be. What I anticipated was going to happen is happening. Between the Board and doing all SEPO communications I’m approaching overload. And knowing how much effort I will need to put forth to keep the Sunshine Web site up-to-date this coming winter season (now that the Covid-19 restrictions have been lifted within Sunshine) I am resigning as Women's Club Primary Newsletter Editor . Both I and Janis McFee (Women's Club President) are hoping that one of you kind, friendly and willing female Sunshine residents will volunteer to take over this position starting with the next Newsletter. What I’m proposing ongoing is that the Primary Newsletter Editor : Prepare the SEPO E-News e-mails they want sent out for – * the initial e-mail notice that Newsletter articles are due by the 24th of the Month. * the final e-mail notice that Newsletter articles are due by the 24th of the Month. These e-mails generally don’t change much, if any, from month to month. Ensure the sender of the article is notified that it was received (This is a canned response). Review the article (content and accuracy of data) and work with the requestor to get the article finalized (if any revisions to the original are needed). I’ll be honest - Sometimes that’s a smooth process and sometimes it’s not. Take all of the finalized articles and format/create the Newsletter. Send the ‘final’ document to me (Beth Parrish). The Primary Editor will also be responsible for maintaining the Newsletter Guidelines on the Web site HERE . The next steps I’m proposing is that I (as the Secondary Newsletter Editor & SEPO Communications): Review the final Newsletter sent to me by the Primary Editor. Add any applicable Web site links or anything else that may be applicable (i.e. attachments). Send out the Newsletter to the community via SEPO E-News e-mail prior to the first of the following month. Post it on the Sunshine Web site HERE . The Women's Club ByLaws state the Newsletter is published for the months of September thru March. Since I have been Editor, I have been sending them the end of September thru the end of March. I don’t believe I have ever published anything 'for' September. I will be requesting this change be made to the Women's Club ByLaws this coming winter season. With all of that said, I will be willing to work with the new Primary Editor for as long as it takes for that person to feel comfortable doing it on her own. The first e-mail that needs to be sent soliciting articles doesn’t need to go out until September 17. I would love to start working with a volunteer by September 1, 2021 at the latest . Please feel free to call me at any time with questions. I look forward to working with one of you ladies on this. Beth Parrish SEPO Newsletter Editor E-Mail: seponewsletter@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2020-06-08: 4 O'Clockers NEW NAME & Play Guidelines - The board had previously questioned whether the "4 O'Clockers Golf Scramble" was a SEPO-sanctioned golf event. Tony found a document describing it – what, who, when etc - but wasn’t sure if it had been previously approved by a Board or if anyone, other than those who gave it to him, had ever seen it. Beth updated it and requested the Board approve it at the May 20 meeting. Due to the start time of this event varying depending on how long it stays light and how hot it is, the following occurred at the Board meeting. Jean moved we change the name to the “O’Clockers Golf Group”. Beth seconded it. It was approved unanimously by acclamation. Jean then moved to approve the document, with the name change. Larry seconded it. It was approved unanimously by acclamation. Since then: 1) Beth updated the document accordingly 2) Tony distributed it to - * Those residents who run/guide this event (George Moore & Donna Myers) * the SEPO Office 3) Beth - * put it on Web site HERE . * is distributing it to the community via this e-mail SEPO Board ​ Sent 2021-06-08: Name Tags Available in the SEPO Office - Sunshine Name Tags for those listed HERE have been received and are available for pickup in the SEPO Office.

Under the direction of Lenore Combs (SEPO Board member in charge of the storage lot) a committee was appointed by the Woodworker's club to consider the condition of the can shed. The committee (Vic Hillman, Tony Tramel and Pat Harvey) checked the old building and it was solid, even if it had been badly mistreated over time. The committee, working with Lenore decided to make it a “Fun” project and it just sort of happened from there. Vic offered the pickets, a new door handle, stepping stones and trim boards along the front. Sam Davis offered the porch (steps), Pat supplied the paint and Heidi Dill did the signs / art work. It's amazing what we can accomplish as we work together. As nice as it may look, it is still the place to bring your empty aluminum beverage cans for recycling. Regards Pat Harvey *************************** WOW WOW WOW What a great thing for SCCE - makes me proud to live here. As Director of Storage Lot - can't say THANKS enough Lenore Combs SEPO Board **************************** The next time you start to throw your cans in the Trash, take a minute and remember what your fellow Sunshiners did to spruce up what was previously called the 'Can Shed'.

If you are having difficulty with the process explained in the e-mail below on how to get to the October 2019 Newsletter, HERE is the direct link to THAT Newsletter only. Going forward I will include the direct link to that month's document and also include the instructions below if you want to view any other Newsletters from the past. Sorry to anyone having issues with the original instructions below. Beth Parrish Sunshine Country Club Newsletter Editor E-Mail: 314-960-6710 Sent 2019-09-29: Newsletter 2019-10 Hi All - This is our first Newsletter for the 2019-2020 Winter season. The Newsletter Guidelines can be found here: www.sunshinecountryclub.com/sepo-newsletter-guidelines . The process for distributing the Newsletter to all of you is going to be different ongoing in order to get the info to you timely and in a format where you can see all of the effort that has been put into several of the articles sent to me by your Sunshine neighbors.And everything will be in COLOR. Of course, the Newsletter will still always be available via print in the Sunshine Library. The primary difference is that - instead of typing the Newletter in this e-mail (and you not being able to see any of the pictures contained in the Newsletter) you can find the document here: www.sunshinecountryclub.com/sepo-newsletter-2019-2020 . You will see that it is available in both WORD and PDF documents. If you have the software to open the WORD document, you will be able to click on any 'links' that are contained in the document. If you can only open the PDF document, you will need to copy and paste 'links' that are contained in the document.

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. ​ Sunshine Country Club Estates Official Group It is 'private' to residents. In order to post, you will need to join the "Sunshine Country Club Estates Official Group" or be invited to join by one of the current members. ​ Any resident and all Sunshine Clubs/Groups can post announcements themselves or find a friend to help post them. I am also available to help anyone who has issues with or questions about posting. ​ There are already lots of super posts out there. ​ - Pam Adams Sent 2023-03-22: SEPO Communications & the New SEPO-sanctioned FB Group - I want to personally thank Pam Adams for getting the SEPO-sanctioned Facebook (FB) Group up and running (so I didn't have to worry about doing it - HA) !!! 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. Thanks again to Pam Adams. - Beth Parrish, SEPO Communications, 314-960-6710 Back to Top

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

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.

To all my helpers in bringing this together, Thank You all!!! You all made hosting this meal a great success. There was one casserole brought to dinner wrapped in a pretty white towel with embellishments. If this is yours, please call me at 7082808910. Thank you again, for spending the holiday with your friends and neighbors here at Sunshine😊. Sincerely, Cathy Chajec (2019-11-20) Thanksgiving - Dear Friends and Neighbors: Thanksgiving is a week from tomorrow. We would love to have you join us for our annual Thanksgiving dinner on the 28th. I need to have a count on who would like to attend by Monday at noon. I will need time to shop and plan table set ups. All are welcome, including family and friends from outside. The cost is $6 and includes white and dark meat turkey, ham, dressing, gravy and coffee, tea and water. You supply a dish to serve 12 that will enhance our meal. BYOB of course. This year, the turkey breast will be fresh and not processed. Last year we had some people who did not like the processed turkey. Sorry, it was an oversight by the committee. We try our best to make the holiday special for everyone attending. Social hour begins at 1 and dinner will be ready at 2 p.m. Please sign up before Monday if you care to join us. Sign up sheet and envelopes are in the library for your payment and space for what dish you will bring. The committee and I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving, no matter what you choose to do. Any questions, please contact Cathy Chajec at 708-280-8910.

We always have plenty of food. The sign-up sheet will come down by noon on November 25th so we can plan the shopping we need to do. Visiting family and friends are always welcome. Please make sure to follow the above instructions so we know how much food to prepare. This also gives us a count for table settings. We are so blessed to be able to share thanksgiving with all our friends and neighbors who do not have family here. Please don't be alone on this special holiday. Come join your neighbors for this celebration, make new friends, and eat till you are stuffed! Any questions, please contact Cathy Chajec at 708-280-8910. ​ (2019-11-09) Thanksgiving - We have a chairperson & Need Committee Volunteers - Dear Residents: I, Cathy Chajec, have volunteered to Chair the Thanksgiving Dinner on November 28, 2019. I am desperately looking for volunteers to help make this a wonderful holiday for all those who are staying in the Estates. With many helpers, it is an easy dinner to put on. There is a sign-up sheet in the library area where you can place your name and contact number if you choose to help out. I will be looking for turkey bakers, kitchen help preparing the dressing & gravy, turkey carvers, decorating help, and clean up. 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. Cathy Chajec, 708-280-8910 if you have any questions. (2019-11-07) Thanksgiving - 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!

Thanks to: Heidi sang the National Anthem for the U.S. and for Canada. Helen recited “In Flanders Field Where Poppys Bloom”. Jean gave us highlights on the 75th Anniversary of Iwo Jima and the Battle of the Bulge. Caroline Clements related her brother’s story on his Battlefield Commission during the Battle of the Bulge. Also, Caroline provided Veterans patches for us. Sally and Lenore performed the Flag Folding Ceremony and Cathy Chajec read the script. Ron presented the Folded Flag for the Missing Man Table while John read the significance of the items on the table. The American Flag and the Canadian Flag were posted. Our Branch Flags were proudly carried by our Veterans and/or their families. Marian, Karen and Share helped with all facets including Pot Luck. Lenore Combs (2019-11-10) CHANGE OF PLAN - Veterans Day Tribute - There is a slight change of plan for the Veterans Day Tribute being held in Retzlaff Hall tomorrow (11-11).

Also, if you have a picture as or of a veteran you would like to post on the Bulletin Board during the ceremony & dinner, please bring it with you before the ceremony and we'll get it up there. Please spread the word about these changes as there are quite a few folks who still haven't provided an e-mail to Beth Parrish (e-mail admin) in order to start receiving the Sunshine E-mails. Questions - call Lenore Combs (2019-11-07) Veteran's Day - This Monday, November 11th there will be a Veteran’s Day Program in Retzlaff Hall at 3 pm.

Everyone is welcome and there is a sign up sheet in the library so we can get a numbers count for setting up of tables and chairs. Come out and honor those who have given so much to make our country the best place to live! If you are interested in participating in the program on Monday, there will be a planning meeting on Friday, Nov 8th at 3 pm in the library. Lenore Combs will be organizing the program for Monday, but she needs volunteers to help with flags, readings ..... Hope to see you there! Vickie Jones Women's Club Activity Director (2019-11-07) WOMEN'S CLUB, Veteran's Day - We are hoping to have a Veterans Day program here at Sunshine on Monday 11 November 2019 with a Potluck to follow. There is a sign-up sheet for volunteers in the Library. This is usually a 2part deal – one Patriotic and the other a social Potluck. In the past John and I have assisted with the Flag Ceremony (Patriotic side) while Marian Young handles the Potluck side. We need Flag bearers and someone to talk on Veterans day. We can consider a Flag retirement ceremony outside or whatever you like. Also, included in the Opening will be a 2 minute of silence observed calling for all people to pause in honor of the service and sacrifice of our Veterans throughout the history of the Nation. We will also honor our Canadian Veterans. There will be sign-up sheet in the Lounge for a Flag Detail and for the Potluck. If anyone wants to say a few words about the day – step up. Honor our Veterans and their families. No support = no program but let’s hope for the best.

Birding & Nature Club Contact: Tom Stone Meets: 1st Monday each Month @ 7 PM (Nov - March) Location: Library Details: Do you have an interest in nature (expertise not required)? The Sunshine Birding and Nature Club is open to all residents of our community. We typically host a community-wide potluck and bring in a featured speaker for a very enlightening program in January. Watch for notices to be in the Sunshine Newsletter and SEPO E-mails for more information closer to that time. Later in the spring we try to have a field trip related to the program, which is also open to the community to participate. Some past trips have included; Port Aransas to see the whooping cranes, South Padre Island Birding boat tours, Laguna Atascosa tour, the Turtle center and the National Birding center. Occasionally a birding walk through our community is hosted by someone with experience in identifying birds. Watch the Sunshine Newsletter and SEPO E-Mails for announcements. Background on the Club: The Birding and Nature Club is an offshoot from the volunteers who cleared the area along Texas avenue after hurricane Dolly (July 2008). Prior to hurricane Dolly the brush and trees grew up all the way to the chain link fence in the area past the front gate. Further the swamp and bushes grew up along much of Texas avenue to your left as you drive into our neighborhood. After hurricane Dolly the residents / volunteers decided to clean up the area significantly. Besides clearing the area of brush and broken trees they also raised the money to plant 56 new trees. Those same volunteers built and funded the pergola, the gazebo and the park benches that you now see and enjoy. As you look at the gazebo you will notice that there are a group of panels below the railing. All of the birds shown in those panels have been seen in our Sunshine swamp.

Blackie has been seen a few times around the neighborhood recently and we haven't seen blackie for some time. That's really unfortunate because blackie is perhaps one of the best friends in nature that we can have. Blackie is officially known as a Texas indigo snake. Now you are probably repulsed by the idea of a snake being our best friend. But do not fear but rarher respect blackie because blackie eats other snakes, poisonous ones as well as a wide variety of other small creatures. Blackie is neither poisonous nor aggressive but really a very placid creature. Blackie is the subject of a Texas Parks and Wildlife brochure from which I will share some excerpts with you. _____ https://tpwmagazine.com/archive/2015/mar/scout5_wildthing_indigo/ "Indigo snakes are big snakes. Most adult indigo snakes grow to between 5½ and 6½ feet in length. The longest recorded indigo snake was nearly 8½ feet long. Texas indigo snakes are diurnal predators, meaning they are active during the day. They will eat almost any vertebrate animal they can subdue with their strong jaws, including toads, frogs, salamanders, lizards, turtles, birds, small mammals and other snakes. One specimen was found with three mice, two Mexican burrowing toads and two juvenile snapping turtles in its stomach. They are also known to eat rattlesnakes and copperheads , which can be three to four times heavier than an indigo snake. “It’s a gorgeous snake, and it’s not aggressive,” says Andy Gluesenkamp, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department herpetologist. “If you’re nice to the snake, it’ll give you a chance to look at it.” Texas indigo snakes are listed by the state as a threatened species, and because of its protected status, it is illegal to harm, kill, collect or sell Texas indigo snakes. The Texas indigo snake is revered in South Texas, where many ranchers are aware of its propensity for eating predatory rattlesnakes. Ranchers have a fondness for the Texas indigo snake,” Gluesenkamp says. “It’s a true South Texan snake: charismatic, big and tough.” ____ So - since we have seen Blackie around the Estates lately, I would ask you to "just let it be" if you see it. It is your friend, even if it is a snake.

It's a simple process of adding (or deleting) a line in a spreadsheet, then sending a copy to a web site and to the office. It's a five minute process maybe 3 or 4 times a month. I will provide a step by step procedure and be available in case of a problem. So – If you would be willing to help your fellow neighbors find a reliable worker, send me an e-mail or give me a call.

You can also stay informed about activities and ideas by attending Women’s Club meetings. All ladies of Sunshine are invited. Coffee and donuts are available. Eileen Anderson President ​ Sent 2019-10-12: SEPO RESIDENT COMMUNICATION - The question has always come up “How do we communicate to the board if we can’t talk at the meeting and/or “Why can’t we go to the board meeting?” All board meetings per SEPO bylaws and Texas state law are open meetings and anyone can attend. It is unproductive to have open discussion at the board meeting. The SEPO board adapted the policy, for speaking at a meeting, that has become common practice across the country. Anyone can submit a written request to speak on an issue at the meeting. During the remainder of my term, I will accept any request, written or oral submitted the Friday before the meeting. In the case of the upcoming meeting, the deadline would be Friday, Oct 18 th. Please include your issue to allow me time to possibly prepare a response or solve the issue before the meeting. Suggestion box: Located next to the window in the office is a suggestion box for your ideas, thoughts, complaints etc. If you sign your suggestion you will receive a response.The nature of the “suggestion” will determine whether it will be read at the board meeting. There are 3 suggestions from April, which definitely deserve researching. I apologize we have not responded sooner. All the above are “formal” means of communication. We are a small community; everyone has access to the resident address sheet/directory and the resident e-mail list. The most recent copies of both of these documents are always in the Library and on the Sunshine Web site (www.sunshinecountryclub.com/residents-only ). You know where I live, my phone number, and e-mail address. If you have a question, situation or complaint, let’s discuss it. If you are unhappy with my response, then you should definitely proceed with a formal inquiry. We will be having a Residents Meeting, tentative date per my schedule, Monday, Oct 28th. I have been given many suggestions on how to run this meeting. At this time my thoughts are, it will be an informal meeting and I will be the emcee unless some else wishes to volunteer. The board and SEPO organizations will be making presentations. There will be an “open mike” for questions etc. Thank you, John Chajec SEPO President Sent 2019-10-11: 2020 SEPO BOARD ELECTIONS - Per the SEPO bylaws a nominating committee must be appointed 60 days prior to the election in February, the December board meeting.

If you didn't see them or don't remember the circumstances they are on the Sunshine Web site here (www.sunshinecountryclub.com/sepo-e-mails-2019-05 ) for you to review.

So I've decided it might be a good idea to list available rentals on our Web site - just as long as those wanting to rent their home keep me informed when they do get rented and also when they open up for rental again . This will also help Valerie to keep the 'Renters Directory', which is posted on the Web site under the Residents/Password Required tab, up-to-date. The current 'Renters Directory' on the Web site is OUT OF DATE. If you currently have changes to this information, please notify both Valerie and myself. So if anyone wants me to post their available Rentals on the Web site please send me the information you would like a potential renter to see i.e., your contact info, months house is available, price, pictures of your house etc. That information will be located here (www.sunshinecountryclub.com/for-rent ).

Vic and Ina Hillman have volunteered to welcome new homeowners over the summer. We appreciate that too! Please contact Marian Young if any resident (man or woman) is ill or bereaved and she will send a card. Most important—Have a Safe Summer and please stay healthy! I look forward to our reunion in the fall. Janis McFee President MEETING NOTICE: Womens' Club 2020-2021 Activities Planning - I know you enjoy attending the Womens' Club (WC) activities each season - RIGHT !!! Well - Those activities don't just 'come out of the blue' and magically happen. Each year we hold a 'planning' session, led by the current WC Activities Director. At this meeting, attendees are given the opportunity to present idea(s) for activities for the upcoming season. Then we discuss pros & cons of these ideas and decide what goes into the calendar. This list of WC proposed events must be presented to the SEPO Board for their approval by the next Board of Directors meeting on Mar 9, 2020. In order to meet this deadline, the planning session is scheduled for March 3rd at 10 AM in the Card Room. This is an open invitation for you to get your ideas out there on the table. And for those of you who are new, it's a great way to meet new residents and learn how this all works behind the scenes. Also - At this meeting it is customary to try and determine who would be willing to chair or work on the committees of these activites or have attendees put forth name(s) of people they think/know would be willing to chair or work on them. Never fear - There are WC Committee Guidelines to assist all Chairperson(s) and Committe members with what needs to be done to plan and carry out an event. These guidelines are availabe in the WC file drawer outside the SEPO Office and also on the Web site HERE . So please come and be heard. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
