First off - Discard the previous e-mail as I messed up the COLOR SCHEME.

This is a time when I am asking you to REPLY TO THIS E-MAIL. Also - Any changes made will need to cleared thru Valerie by you, particularly if you are adding anything to the list, it needs to be reserved through the Office. So here goes.

I can't believe it's that time of year already but Valerie (office) has been collecting data from a lot of you concerning activities that will be taking place next winter season (2019-2020). Those items are in
RED. However, there are still quite a few items that are in question. Everything in BLACK needs to be confirmed/updated/removed for next season (dates, description, location etc). And as stated above, NEW items may need to be added.

AND - If the color-coding confuses you - just look over everything !!!

Rather than resending the updates to my document in that horrible format, please review the document I posted on the Web site (
www.sunshinecountryclub.com/activities-to-review-2019-2020).

I apologize again for my goof. Thanks in advance for your quick responses.

I received the following question and sometimes it's best to send my reply to everyone to avoid any confusion.

 

Question: Could you please direct me to where in the Covenants it says only two information meetings are required? 

Answer: I can't, this is all I can find in our covenants etc concerning meetings. So please direct me where it says otherwise. In fact, I can't find anything concerning information meetings. These are excerpts from our bylaws concerning mandatory meetings. All board meetings are open to the public, anyone may attend and request to speak at these meetings. Hopefully, by the fall we will have the internet problem corrected and everyone will be able to view at home.

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES OF SUNSHINE COUNTRY CLUB ESTATES

                    APPROVED BY ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

AUTHORITY for these policies and rules is contained in Section 2.1 and Section 8.1 of the Covenants and Section 4.1 of the Bylaws which provide that the affairs of Sunshine Country Club Estates shall be managed by its Board of Directors and that the Board shall have the Responsibility and authority to prescribe rules and regulations covering the use of the common areas, streets, utilities and any other portions of the properties.

 
The items in bold will be added to our Policy and Procedures:

The following motion was brought to the floor regarding Donations to SEPO at the February 11th Board meeting and passed unanimously.

Donations to SEPO:

When an individual, committee or organization purchases “something” for SEPO, then ownership becomes SEPO’s unless explicitly noted otherwise.  Once accepted by SEPO (either explicitly or implicitly), future maintenance, usage, replacement or removal will be SEPO’s responsibility and expense.  If SEPO has ownership, the board will have sole discretion for its usage and whether replacement or removal is in SEPO interest at that time.  There is no guarantee of replacement.  If ownership remains with the donor, then future maintenance, usage, replacement and removal will be the owner’s responsibility and expense, however, SEPO may request its removal at any time for any reason or no reason.

The following motion was brought to the floor regarding trail fees at the February 19th Board meeting and passed unanimously.

Long term residents will probably point out this was the intention when the trail fess were established but has been lost over the years.

All Trail Fees collected will be placed in a designated fund for golf trails (concrete paths) and not placed in the general funds such funds will be strictly used for maintenance or installation of new golf trails.

(Per Beth Parrish - The above has been updated on the Web site (www.sunshinecountryclub.com/sepo-laws). She has also added printable documents of the SEPO Covenants, By-Laws and Policies & Procedures to the individual Rules pages. Contact her with any Web site questions and me with any SEPO Rules questions.)

Hi All! This is a reminder that on this coming Thursday, March 14, 2019 the Women's Club will be putting on a dance/fundraiser donating to Ronald McDonald House Charities. Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Rio Grande Valley supports our community by providing a "home-away-from-home" for families of critically ill or injured children at local hospitals and clinics. We hope you plan to attend so that you can help them continue with the important work they do! A representative from this charity will also be in attendance. 

In order to supply them with items they need we are asking for everyone who attends this event to either give a $5 donation per person or bring an item from the wish list. Their Wish List is posted in the Library and can also be found on the Web site by clicking on the icon located here (www.sunshinecountryclub.com/activities-details).


ALSO - Bring along some extra money so that you have a chance to win one of the many prizes that have been donated and that will be given away/raffled off. Remember, this is all for a very good cause.

The dance is being held in Retzlaff Hall from 7 PM to 10 PM. Music is being provided by the Classics Band (of which Wade Prater is a member). This is a BYOB and snack type of event. AND - You may think the committee isn't aware that this is the normal Thursday Pavilion Happy Hour event day. BUT - You would be mistaken. We'd very much like folks to come out before the dance and join in the fun of the Pavilion Happy Hour. You might even be able to snatch a sizzling hot dog or two off the grill.

NOTE - This is no signup for this event. Just come and get your groove on and enjoy your neighbors and friends. This will be one of the last events (and definitely the last Womens' Club event) before most of us head north for the summer. Thanks in advance for your support.

I (Beth) jumped the gun a little too quickly yesterday. But that's just me, always in a hurry to get something done. The tournie committee sent me some additional info/corrections that I missed getting into yesterday's e-mail. Sorry about that. So please read the below.

**********

GET READY - on Friday and Saturday March 22nd and 23rd there will be a GUYS and DOLLS golf tournament. Teams will be made up of --    guess      -- yes, one male and one female.
 
Sign-up starts on 03-05-19.
 
Play will follow typical scramble format, although rules will be published to avoid any confusion.
 
Three sign-up sheets will be posted in the lounge on March 5th.

  1. A team list, for a Guy and a Doll who already know they will play as a team, and fees will be tendered immediately upon signup. (cash)

  2. A second list, for an unmatched GUY or an unmatched DOLL.

  3. And, a third list, for any Sunshine residents who do not play in the tournament but wish to attend the dinner only.
     

The second (unmatched) list will include space for phone numbers so that teams can be arranged by the individuals. Fees will not be paid until a team is established and the ‘team’ list is signed, and names scratched from the ‘unmatched’ list.

Dinner and awards for CTP and score will take place on Saturday (March 23), early evening. The food served, (pre-plated buffet style) will be provided by Dave's BBQ on Commerce street. The $20 golf fee includes the dinner. Residents who wish to come for the ‘dinner only’ are certainly welcome for a cost of $11.
 
Keep your eyes on the Bulletin Boards in the lounge and other Community News sources (e-mail, Web site etc.) for any further details.

From: Lenore Combs     Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2019 2:31 PM
Dear Friends - Last  night (early Sunday)  about 2:30a - 3 am there were 2 males spotted on Missouri not far up from Iowa and Wisconsin messing with a car door and were frightened away.  
 
Further down past Michigan a home - actually a shed was broken in to and items removed.
 
Almost to Montana there was intended items left behind a home.
 
The Bad Guys were chased off. A Police Report for suspicious activity was filed. Combes and Harlingen both responded.
 
Please check your homes for any involvement. Take a lesson and button up your stuff because the Bad Guys are out earlier than expected.  
 
There is also a chance that some guy "fishing on the bank" in the resaca off Missouri just up from Michigan Street at about 4pm Saturday could be suspicious. -- male, cauc, no facial hair, maybe 30's, camo hoodie, sitting with his chair and a fishing pole.   
 
As of now, Encore had no visitors.
 
Please report any suspicious activity to HPD 956 216 5940.
Be prepared to give them clear details as you know them

Latest info - as of yesterday Paradise Park got hit over the week end - on a long end street in the back (Jasper) -- same description on Bad Guys.
Pankow and I went with Sgt Brooks HPD to Paradise Park to talk w folks about common concerns.
They are considering a Neighborhood Watch - with our help to set it up. 
 
Encore is beefing up their "gate" on the resaca grassy road across from Crossett Street coming up from the Loop -- (runs along Missouri). Maybe SEPO can take a look at our 2 similar gates (by Iowa and Montana) - think they could also use a facelift.   😊
 
Want to also express thanks to NW volunteers for their vigilance. You do make a difference! .👏    Linda has the May schedule out  💞   
Remember - observe and report   Report suspicious activity 956 216 5940 or call 911.  Do not intercede.    Bad Guys are using some crazy street drugs these days.👹

The Renter Directory table (as of April 4, 2019) is OUT-OF-DATE. The table was updated to reflect those owners/renters who never provided a 'vacate' date to Valerie this past winter season. Click here to open the table. Please contact Valerie (956-425-1420) AND Beth Parrish (sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com) with updates as soon as possible.

I am also aware that some owner's have already rented their homes for the next winter season and possibly over the summer. If you could provide that information to Valerie and Beth (see contact info above), that would be great. And, if you are aware of anyone who is renting or plans to rent and doesn't receive this e-mail, please help SEPO out by providing this info to them.

I'm sure everyone wants to be diligent in keeping this information up-to-date since it is now available on the Web site (www.sunshinecountryclub.com/residents-only) and in paper form in the Office for everyone to refer to.

Thank you in advance for your rapid replies.
