Sent 2023-09-19: GREAT EXAMPLE to help you with Oct 2023 Newsletter - 

I started working on the Oct 2023 Newsletter today. I pulled up the one from Oct 2022 to use as a template. And wow - I had forgotten how thorough everyone was in that one. I got to thinking it would be useful to send everyone the link to it (HERE) in order to jog your memories and assist you with the creation of this October's articles. Hope this helps everyone.

This Friday is Karaoke, September 22, in the Hall. Doors open at 4 and singing begins around 4:30. Every singer will be put into a drawing for door prizes. Start thinking about songs you’d like to sing or have sung. BYOB, but there might be some free stuff, too. No need to bring food, but you can if you want. Dancing is encouraged. You don’t have to participate, but it sure is nice to have people there supporting those that are. You can’t beat the price, because it’s free. Hope to see you there!

Sent 2023-09-17: SEPO Directories: Any Updates? - 

Sometimes Sunshine residents go north for the summer and when they return to Sunshine - they have a new AWAY Address and/or new Phone Number(s). And even if you don’t go north, it’s possible some of your SEPO directory information may have changed.

​

This is a gentle reminder to make sure the SEPO Office (sepo.office@gmail.com) is aware of any changes you may have to the information in the Sunshine Directories. Valerie will then ensure the website gets updated by Beth Parrish. You can see what the office shows as current HERE.

 

Thank you.

Hi!    Hope everyone is having a fantastic summer!!  Starting next Monday. September 18th, the Pavilion will be closed because we are going to refinish the floor.

Sent 2023-09-14: You may not have received some SEPO emails - 

It came to my attention yesterday that some of you may not have been receiving some of the SEPO emails that have been sent to the community lately. I have reset some things so you should start receiving them going forward. However, I would suggest everyone go to the website HERE to see if you have missed anything. I always put the emails there after I send them to you.

ALERT

Dear Residents:

This is a reminder that we all must be watchful of our property and finances.  If you are planning to have some work done around your home, be sure you know who you are hiring to do the work.  We have a Mr. Fix It-List on the Sunshine website, which can be very helpful. Referrals from neighbors are helpful. Be sure to get a bid so you know what you expect it to cost.  Do not pay the entire amount upfront.  Be wary of solicitors who come to your door uninvited, even if they come with an excuse to be in the neighborhood for some other reason.

​

This is not an accusation against any person or company, but rather a reminder that you must protect yourself in your business dealings.

Rather than posting the names of those who need to pick up their Name Tags from the office on the Website in plain sight in the 'emails sent' section (HERE), I have created a page in the 'Residents Only' section (HERE) with the list of names of the 'recent' Name Tags received by the Office and also the list of names of the 'past' Name Tags which Valerie has had in the Office for some time.

Sent 2023-09-08: Concern over "workers" in Sunshine - 

Dear Friends,

​

Today, 7 September 2023, there was a Hispanic man in here driving a white pick-up truck (sort of late model, well-used condition etc). And he was in here yesterday too. And with 2 other Hispanic men. I questioned him and he said he had work (my impression was it was in Encore at Anita's house - but he was parked (on the cement) by the railing passthrough. He also mentioned he had work for Nancy Steel too - with a gesture of his hand.

​

Now, come to find out he is a scammer! A significant story of concern was revealed to the Harlingen Police Dept, and they will be in contact this morning. If you are aware of any other shenanigans - please contact me.

​

Please be on the alert for this wise guy "looking for work". His name is John Joseph (and his mother's name is Mary), so he says. He drives a 2004 GMC white pick-up, License #TX 83B289A, exp 9 Sept 2023, VIN 1GHEC1SVX41105482, Hidalgo County.

​

If you have anything else to add, please call me.

​

Lights on and lock up!

​

The Harlingen PD is aware.

I wanted to let everyone know that I will be on vacation from Sep 9 thru Sep 16. I will have my PC with me so I will have the capability to send emails. I just don't know how timely they might be. So, if you have anything that can be sent to me prior to this Sat, send it on.
