S EPO Community Emails: April 2023 Sent 2023-04-29: Broken Glass, Golf Related - A house at 1933 Michigan had a golf ball strike the back glass door causing it to shatter. More than likely, the ball came from the number 6 tee box, but no one knows how it happened. If you feel any responsibility for this damage/action, please get in touch with me or the homeowner. Thank you. - Randy Davis Golf Course Director ​ Sent 2023-04-26: Storage Road Repair Alert - Please stay off the road on the west side of the storage area next to the drainage canal.

Based on the current forecast, next week may be as bad as well. Thank you for your patience. - Randy Davis Golf Course Director ​ Sent 2023-04-25: Texas Ave Gate - The motor for the Texas Ave Gate has been replaced as of 4-24 and appears to be working fine. Thank you for your patience! Also, Lalo is doing some improvements to the dog park on Texas Ave and was hoping to keep the grass growing and the mud down with these changes. Have a good summer! - Tom Perrier Sent 2023-04-20: Golf Course Maintenance - All of the following information is contingent on the weather (rain, wind conditions, etc.): At noon Wednesday, April 26, we will begin aerating the greens. We will be completed Friday afternoon. The course will be playable, but the greens will be rough and you will need to skip holes that are being actively worked. Throughout the next few months, on Thursday mornings (while it’s still dark), we will be spraying turf management solution. This is purchased at Home Depot over the counter. It helps with our grass and as a side by-product helps kill mosquitos where they breed. It does not affect ornamentals, roses, flowers, shrubs, trees, fruits, citrus, and vegetables. If you don’t drink it, it’s safe for humans and pets. It has a smell to remind you to be extra aware for you and your critters. Also as needed, there will be periodic spraying to kill clover and encroaching carpet grass in small sections of the course. Thank you for your patience.

So that's where my cleanup began. I have downloaded all BOARD videos dated prior to Oct 1, 2022 to a personal storage device and removed them, along with any links to them, from the website. If you need/want to view anything I have removed, just send an email to sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com and I can get it/them to you.

Dick & Joyce Smith ​ Sent 2022-01-22: MARKET: For Sale Household+ (new Name & Guidelines) - I have come to a pretty obvious conclusion that it is taking me longer to post FREE items on the Web site in the MARKET and then send out the e-mail about those items, than it does for your neighbor to come to your house/lawn and get them. And then, after residents notify me their items(s) have been given away, I go the Web site and remove them from the MARKET. Therefore, as of today (Jan 22, 2022) I will only be posting 'For Sale' Household+ items HERE . Anything currently listed on this page ‘other than For Sale’ items will be removed on January 31, 2022. The link above has changed, and I believe I have updated everything on the Web site correctly. If you find something that doesn't direct you to the right place anymore, please let me know ASAP. I have also updated the Guidelines for selling Household+ Items. So now you might be asking yourself - how do I let the community know if I have ‘For Free’, ‘For Loan’ etc Household+ items. Prior to the Sunshine Web site being available, the bulletin board across from the restrooms in the Office/Library building is where those items were posted.

Beth Parrish SEPO Web site Admin ​ Sent 2022-01-16: INFO/WHERE TO FIND Proposed Amendments to SEPO Bylaws & Covenants for 2022 Vote - The Governing Rules documents you are being asked to vote on in the 2022 election, which contain proposed amendments to the Bylaws and Covenants, have been posted on the Sunshine Web site HERE . The ballots for voting on these amendments, along with voting instructions, were mailed to the entire community via US Postal Service on Friday, January 14, 2022. Between the asterisks below is one of the pages you will be receiving in your ballot envelope. Here is a bit more comprehensive explanation of how the voting percentages works: Amendments to our existing Bylaws can only be made if 51% of the "total" votes cast are yes. Amendments to our existing Covenants can only be made with at least 66% yes votes from the owners (202 yes of the 306 owners). ******************************** CONCERNING PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO SEPO Bylaws and Covenants The SEPO Board appointed a Review Committee of knowledgeable Owners in March 2021 to review our SEPO Bylaws, Covenants and Policies & Procedures. This Committee consisted of Share Nelson, Pat Harvey, Jerry Wetherbee, Earl Weir and Steve Fransene. After intense review, the committee provided a report to the Board. The Board accepted this report and proceeded to undertake significant effort to review their recommendations, ultimately forwarding them to our Attorney. The Attorney provided input to the Review Committee recommendations and also provided updates to our Bylaws and Covenants pertaining to current Texas Property Code. After another intense Board review and consideration of Owners’ comments, the Board approved to ‘move forward for a vote’ documents containing proposed amendments to our Bylaws and Covenants. The proposed amendments in both documents are classified as: Necessary to follow the current Texas Property Code, or Corrective, editorial, and / or changed for clarity (without changing the intent). Amendments to our existing Bylaws can be made with at least 51% positive votes from our Owners. Amendments to our existing Covenants can be made with at least 66% positive votes from our Owners. PLEASE NOTE: Although the Owners had previously been provided access to documents containing all amendments being considered by the Board, not all of those amendments ended up being included in what you are being asked to vote on. The final proposed Bylaws and Covenants amendments, although not included in this ballot envelope mailed to you, are available for viewing by three different methods, the Sunshine Web site (link provided via SEPO Enews Email) posted outside the SEPO Office available to each SEPO street address if you wish to request the SEPO office (956-425-1420) to print a copy for you. The Board also plans to hold a series of Open Forums to enable Owners to inquire / become knowledgeable about the final proposed amendments to the SEPO Bylaws and Covenants 'prior to’ you voting. Watch for details to be communicated concerning these forums. ******************************** Please note: The Board has been working over the weekend concerning the printing option listed above. We have been advised the "printed packets of the proposed amendments" should be available to each SEPO street address, starting on Tuesday, January 18, 2022, if you wish to request a printed copy from the SEPO office (956-425-1420).

We hope a Rescue group that works with them will take her out of state and find her a deserving home. The process to get a dog into the shelter is very different than in the past. HSH is now a no kill shelter but they will no longer accept turn-ins at their building. They want you to foster for them and they will provide the medical care food etc. Sometimes that is not possible, so this is what needs to happen. Harlingen Animal Control needs to pick up the animal and bring them to the shelter. They will only pick up at a Harlingen address. Many of us live in Combes. If Combes is contacted they will keep for 3 days then euthanize. Find a neighbor in Harlingen here to work with you. The phone number for Animal Control is the best kept secret in Harlingen. I kept getting sent back to the Shelter so I contacted Harlingen Police and THEY called Animal Control. I gave my phone number and animal control called me 10 minutes before they arrived. They double checked that they were coming to a Harlingen address. It shouldn't have to be so difficult but having the info fresh in my brain, I thought I would share because we know that wasn't our last stray! Hope this helps and thank you Lynne and Larry.

Any change within our Covenants and Bylaws requires our Owners to approve by ballot in an election. Therefore, it is paramount that our Owners agree to a listing of final recommended amendments. How we do that has not yet been determined. I have called special Board meetings next week at 2:30 PM on both Tuesday and Thursday during which the Board will address the issues of concern we have received along with the other items described below. The primary purpose of these special Board meetings is for the Board to examine each of the proposed changes to our governing documents and arrive at a consensus that each change is appropriate or not. In every case there are specific reasons for the suggested changes. I believe it is important to hear each of the reasons or rational for the modifications and determine if it is an appropriate amendment. I would also like the Board to address how best to both educate and provide a method for Owners to comment on any proposed amendments. Owners have asked how this is going to be handled? The answer is we do not know yet. The Board has not addressed this issue. It is my hope we can establish a process during our special Board meetings which will be inclusive and would engage members of the original Review Committee, to arrive at any proposed amendments to our governing documents. We also have a chicken and egg issue. The Board needs to identify proposed final amendments documents first. After that determination, I anticipate the community would have an opportunity to comment on each proposed Board change. As of today, the Board has not accepted any proposed amendments that could be put before the Owners’ for review, comment, for an eventual vote. Providing an educational component to this process is essential if any of the Board proposed changes are to be considered and / or approved by our Owners. The Board anticipates we might want to have a series of meetings where the Community is invited to comment on specific changes. The Board, at the conclusion of these meetings, would then meet again to modify the Board proposed final changes or not. The Board wants to hear Owners’ concerns before the Board decides on any final proposed Amendments. It is the Board’s hope that at the special meeting next week we can finalize the processes to both educate the Owner’s and determine how to receive comments.

There is finally a meeting set up with the Combes Mayor and council to discuss this matter. This Monday February 13th at 7pm.

Part of Yelper system is in our gate and the other part is in their Units. When the yelp has been recognized for three (3) seconds a trigger is sent to open the gate. This is an effective way for emergency service to respond - not needing a code or a key. A call has been made to have it repaired. However, it will probably be Monday before that occurs.

Kady Pohlmeyer 956-642-6003 ************************* Barbara Ann Carlson Barbara Ann Carlson of Harlingen passed away quietly while surrounded by family on March 16, 2024 at the age of 84. Barb was born the middle of three girls on June 20, 1939 in Peoria, Illinois to the late Hank Zipper and Katherine (McCann) Zipper. She spent most of her childhood playing with her two sisters Carolyn (Wally) Anderson and Bonnielyn (Bill) Witt. She loved playing jacks, kick-the-can, and even playing pranks while growing up. She also enjoyed playing baseball with the team of boys that her dad coached when they were short players. After graduating from Peoria High School in 1957, she worked as a secretary, and then accountant at Hiram Walkers. Barb met Carlton Toby Carlson in June 1958. They were married on Oct. 10, 1959, and honeymooned in New Orleans. The couple then moved to Evanston, Illinois where they had two children: Eric and Kady. In 1966, they moved to Toronto, Canada for two years, where Barb developed a love of the team sport curling. After that, the family settled in Minnetonka, Minnesota. Barb and Toby spent many weekends in northern Minnesota on Howard Lake, first at Moore Springs Resort, and then at her parent’s cabin. There were many fond memories of playing cards, fishing, turtle hunting, and time with her sisters and family. Before retirement, Barb worked as a head bookkeeper for Kraemer’s Hardware, and then at Opportunity Partners, a non-profit foundation. She was also a grief mentor for people who lost family members. Barb loved traveling, which included cruises and trips to Africa, Alaska, Russia, and Asia, amongst many other places. After Toby passed away in 2001, religion and faith became an important part of her life and she was confirmed at Zion Lutheran Church in Hopkins, Minnesota in Nov. 2001. Barb moved to Harlingen in 2011, where she met the second love of her life, Jack Scott. They continued traveling –– going to China to see the Terra Cotta Soldiers, the Panama Canal, and their regular camping trips on South Padre Island. Barb was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Toby, and brother-in-law Wally. The memory of Barb will be cherished by her friend Jack, son Eric (Janet) Carlson, daughter Kady (Terry) Pohlmeyer, grandchildren Bryce (Jenn), Shane (Stephanie), Paige (DJ), Tara (Alex), and Corey, and two great-grandchildren Isla and Quinn. A memorial service will be held at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Harlingen on Saturday, March 23, at 11 a.m., with graveside services at Glendale Cemetery in Washington, Illinois at a later date. Instead of flowers, please donate to St. Paul Lutheran Church Backpacks of Love, an organization Barb regularly supported, at https://splch.breezechms.com/give/online , noting “Give to Backpack Ministry”. ​ Sent 2024-03-18: Golf Course Closure - Tuesday after Men’s Golf League, the course will be closed to allow the Women’s Golf League to have a playoff.

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.

Every resident in our community has a legal obligation to comply with our Covenants and Bylaws. These Covenants and Bylaws run with land. They can only be changed by specific votes of our community which are identified in the Covenants and Bylaws. The SEPO Board nor the Architecture Control Committee can approve any construction that conflicts with our Covenants. Every owner has this same obligation. We are aware there may have been past construction, either intentionally or unintentionally, which conflicts with our Covenants and/or Policy & Procedures. The ACC is diligently working to identify and trying to mitigate such infractions. The enforcement action by the ACC and/or the SEPO Board is an obligation that is mandated in our Covenants. This effort is to be consistent for the safety and fairness to all the Owners in Sunshine Country Club Estates. If you are considering work on the outside of your home, repairs or building projects you want to do, based on our Covenants which run with your property, you are mandated to submit a request for review of such a project and obtain their approval before any construction commences. The appropriate ACC Forms are located in the library and can also be printed HERE . There is one warning that needs to be stated. Applicants should obtain a building permit from the City of Harlingen or the Town of Combs or obtain a written statement on letterhead from either of these agencies, that state “No building Permit is Required by City of Harlingen/Town of Combs” for the work shown on the attached documents, signed by an appropriate building official from the respective city/town. Once you have obtained either a building permit or statement that no building permit is needed from Harlingen/Town of Combes, attach your submitted material, and complete the ACC form.

But it also says "Need Chairpersons". These dates were requested last March by me, only in order for this event to get on the calendar. We haven't had it for the last two seasons, due to Covid-19. So, I know there are residents who really want to see it started up again. Although that seems like a long time off, if this event is going to take place this season, now is the time for residents to step and volunteer to chair it. If you have never chaired such an event there are several residents who have chaired this and other similar golf events. I'm assuming they would be more than happy to get you going and answer any questions you may have. I believe a committee of about six to eight people can put this on. If you are interested, please contact me and I will assist you with getting the paperwork going for this. I do not play golf, but I know the people who have played in this tournament in the past have enjoyed it immensely. Thanks for your consideration.

It will be an outside event. We will be inviting our Neighbors to participate as in the past. We have plans to award daily prizes to both the morning players and the afternoon players.

Tony Tramel, GNGT, Chair 2022, Cell 337-693-6344 ​ Newsletter: 2022-02-01 - Good News and Bad News - We will be having a golf tournament on March 3, 4, and 5, 2022, Thursday through Saturday. However, the committee decided we would call it the Sunshine Country Club Estates Golf Tournament, rather than the Good Neighbor Golf Tournament, for this year only. The name change is because of input from the organizing committee and others. We will be limiting participation to only residents/renters of Sunshine and/or their immediate family. Additionally, the golfers must be 55 years of age or older. We plan to host everything outside, so we will not have an awards dinner on Saturday. We hope to award prizes every day by drawings beginning the first day for the morning and afternoon participants. We moved the dates back a month in hopes of having great weather. We will be reducing the entry fee as well. Stay tuned for more updates and details.
