It appears an Amazon package was delivered to the doorstep of Raylene Kelley while she was out. She is currently renting our house at 4305 N Kansas. Is it possible that someone may have taken it to the office or to the mailroom knowing that we were not there right now? If so, please call me.     Sue Clifton

Hi all - I hope everyone is having a nice summer. As a volunteer doing the SEPO Community e-mails and maintaining the Sunshine Web site, I definitely don't mind helping out the community this way.

However, I think it's time for me to 1) send a refresher to some and 2) send what is possibly new info to others.

Please review the guidelines on this Web site page to ensure you are getting your information to the right place for me to take action. I maintain three (3) separate gmail accounts - one for e-mails, one for the Web site and one for the Newsletter. Please do not send any communications related items to my Board gmail.

Although I have been responding to texts and phone calls since I came up north from TX, I prefer not to operate that way. I may not interpret something correctly or I may totally forget to follow-up on a request.

So please keep this Web site page handy. It's the easiest way for me to address your requests. Thx Let me know if you have any questions.     Beth Parrish   SEPO Communications

************************************

The SEPO Board met earlier today (May 20, 2021 @ 1:30 PM via Google Meet). One of the agenda items was as follows:
 

• Determine next steps (Review/Change or Not/Approve) SEPO Covid-19 Restrictions with discussion and potential Action.

 
During the discussion of this item, each board member voiced his/her opinion on what the next step should be pertaining to the current SEPO Covid-19 restrictions. At the end of this discussion, a motion was made and seconded to ‘remove’ all current SEPO Covid-19 restrictions. A formal vote was taken with the following results – YES from Beth Parrish, Larry Keller, Lenore Combs and Jean Burgoine & NO from Mecca Henry and Lyn Swonger. Since the vote was not a tie, President Tony Tramel did not vote.
 

The Board would like to thank everyone for being diligent over the past 16 or so months in helping keep our Sunshine Estates residents safe.
 
Although, Sunshine is now starting our normal activities, we encourage you using your personal decision regarding mask use / attendance at meetings and other activities.  We believe each person has to be responsible for themselves. Please do what YOU feel comfortable doing.
 
It is my feeling that SEPO owners are highly vaccinated and have been so for more than a couple of months, which I believe, was a primary reason for the positive vote to remove our restrictions.

Prior posted Covid-19 restrictions which have been posted on SEPO buildings and the Sunshine Web site will be removed.
 
The May 27th Summer Potluck, chaired by Marian Young, will be the first activity that will not have SEPO Covid-19 restrictions.

Refer to the Sunshine Web site Activity Summary page for additional scheduled Activities.

It appears this is the beginning of the end for Covid-19 for SEPO, and hopefully the State and the Nation.
 
Tony Tramel
SEPO Board President
