Sent 2022-10-20: Women's Club: Shrimp boil Update -
Get your virtual tickets for the shrimp boil in the library by Friday at 5PM!
We are not selling tickets at the door.
Cost is $10 per person for shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes, bread and dessert! We will also provide iced tea and coffee. Bring whatever else you want to drink.
Doors open at 4:30!
See you there!

2022-10 Updates -
Virtual signups for the shrimp boil are now available in the library. There will be boiled shrimp, sausage, corn on the cob, potatoes, bread, dessert, iced tea, coffee and condiments. Nothing is cooked with the shrimp for those who are allergic to shellfish. The food is kept hot in roasters, and you will be served. I need a couple more volunteers to work in the kitchen and serving line as well as a couple of strong guys to lift the cooked food out of the pots.
Doors open at 4:30.
Hey guys! 68 tickets sold in one day for the shrimp boil! Envelopes are in the library to sign up.
Several people have asked why there is not a signup sheet for the shrimp boil. My explanation comes from experience with using both the signup sheet and the virtual ticket box. Sometimes people sign up and forget to put their money in the box. The chair of the event then has to check with the resident and explain they didn’t put money in the box. Other times people sign up twice so the chair has to reconcile names with money.
It is far easier to simply take names from the envelopes in the box. Not very often do we have a limit on tickets. Since we have a limit of 160 tickets, I check the box frequently and will keep the community updated on how many tickets have been sold at least daily. All that being said see you at the shrimp boil on the 22nd!
Sent 2022-10-02: WC Shrimp Boil: Ticket Sale Date -
Shrimp boil tickets will go on sale October 12th by virtual tickets in the library. If you have friends who will be here for the shrimp boil but are worried about getting tickets, please sign them up.
Tickets are limited to 160 and will not be sold at the door.
Any questions call me at (303)-990-2730. - Cathy Richmond
Sent 2022-09-23: WC - Shrimp boil -
The first women’s club activity this year is a shrimp boil on October 22nd.
It looks like we will be able to keep the cost at $10 per person!
There will be shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes and desserts. The shrimp is cooked separately so those with allergies may safely eat the rest of the food.
Signup will be virtually in the library. A quick review of virtual signups:
-
There is a flowery lock box in the library. It will have envelopes on it that are stamped so you can fill in your name and submit either cash or a check made out to SCCE Womens Club.
-
A list will be compiled with names of paid residents and as you enter your name will be checked off at the door.
-
There is a limit of 160 tickets and no tickets will be sold at the door.
Watch the SEPO e-news for more details! Hope to see you there! - Cathy Richmond

The first Women’s Club event of the season is the shrimp boil on October 22.
We will have shrimp, corn, potatoes and sausage (and dessert). All four main items are served from roasters and the shrimp is cooked separately for those who have shrimp allergies.
I would like to have a meeting of those willing to help next week to plan the event. Contact me text or call at (303)990-2730 if you would like to help and we will set up a meeting.

Dear Friends,
Christmas is coming faster than we think
There is a CHRISTMAS DINNER "volunteer" signup sheet with only 'two' lonesome names. 😟 It is located on the WC Activities billboard in the Library.
I would like to have a planning meeting early next week and even if you can't make the planning part, we can use your help on Christmas day.
One potential early consideration is if we have turkey and/or ham.
We will need chefs (and carvers for the turkey) as most ham is already pre-sliced.
If we don't get a committee we together, we can have a Charlie Brown Christmas dinner:
Peanut butter & Jelly sandwiches
Root Beer Floats
Popcorn
Thanks

So be sure and mark your calendars, and plan to attend, the Women's Club NYE Party. The committee is currently in the planning stages. We do know it won’t be fancy, but it should be a fun time for everyone.

In Retzlaff Hall
-
Music, Dancing and other Surprises (definitely still planning)
-
And what would a party be without food and drink
-
Virtual signup will begin soon in the Library
I know some of you might be asking - why end at 11 and not midnight? Ending this party a little early will give everyone the opportunity to; go home and go to bed OR watch the central time zone ball drop on TV in the comfort of their own homes in their jammies OR go to another party! 😊Please watch for event details in sepoenews as they are finalized.

Hi everyone - I was so excited to see that I had ten or more people signed up to work on the Womens' Club Bow Tie Brunch scheduled for Tuesday, Feb 14. BUT - due to life happening when you are planning something, my committee has shrunk to three people. I'm asking you to please consider joining the team/committee. Our next meeting is January 16. Anyone interested can call me, Pam Lacy @ 218-433-3416, or Lisa Perrier @ 651-485-7293.
Thanks so much. Pam Lacy

Women's Club Meeting is this Friday 2/17/2023 at 9am in Retzlaff Hall. Please come and enjoy a little coffee and some donuts with us.
I will have a signup sheet for donations of cakes, pies, or goodies for the upcoming "Taste of Sunshine" cake walk on Thursday, Feb 23. There is no charge for the event > it is a potluck with dishes from your home state or even your childhood. We will charge for the cake walk and we are going to be doing 50/50 drawings throughout the event.
Hope you can join us Friday for the Women's Club Meeting!
Thank You, Vicky LeRoy Krueger

Dear Neighbors,
The Women’s Club is happy to announce the upcoming activity of Taste of Sunshine with a Cake Walk. This event will take place on Thursday, February 23rd at 4PM.
With this event, we encourage everyone to make a dish from their childhood/adulthood lives or from the state in which you live/lived. This is a great way for us to get to know each other better through the love of food. When you enter the hall, you will place your dish under your state sign. Hopefully, we will see so many wonderful dishes and state pride from all of our Sunshine residents.
To make the event, a little more interesting, we have decided to add a cakewalk. We will have a sign-up list for anyone who would like to donate a baked good and we will sell cakewalk tickets for two dollars a walk. There will be other surprises as well!
We are looking forward to a wonderful time of fellowship with our community and encourage everyone to have fun and participate in this event.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. More details to come in the following weeks.
Sincerely,
- Pam Davis 214-516-4844 & Vicky Leroy 785-418-6208
