The food looked gorgeous and tasted fantastic. There were almost 80 residents present. With several little tasks, the entire plan came together, thanks to Marian's coaching, and Lupe and Valerie's assistance. Vic Hillman gave the invocation. Irene Philips did some of the decorations. Your hosts were Cathy Richmond, Judy Parker, Joy Olson, Brenda Crothers, Kathleen Sunders, Mary Grande and Nancy Lyne. Several newer residents introduced themselves, their new abode and their furry friends. (BTW Marian is 1st VP of our Women's Club and Cathy is the Treasurer). The helpers prepared the Hall, dressed the tables and assisted in placing the dishes when brought in by our residents. Clean up was easy as many chipped in. It was a huge success - THANKs - to all. Hope to see you at the Golf and Potluck on Saturday 3 July. There is a sign-up sheet in the Library. You may play golf, attend the Potluck or both. Details and sign-up are in the Library conveniently posted for you. The awards will be presented to the Golfers after the meal - It is optional to stay for these awards and you are welcome.

Lights On -- Lock Up and Look Out for each other! Sunshine NW-CERT notice NO Meeting on Monday 21 June 2021 Lenore J. Combs, Coordinator 956 245 1276 LJCombs44@gmail.com A few words: We will NOT have a June NW-CERT meeting this month but hope to resume in July. My plan is to have a brief meet ‘n greet open house in Retzlaff Hall for an introduction, fellowship and dessert. We can also plan some classes. I will invite the Harlingen PD, Combes PD, the local EMS and the Harlingen Fire Department. The McGruffmobile: The “driver side” door came in and Charlie Gardner will put it on. The “passenger” side will be taken off and a new vinyl window replaced. May need some addition help with reassemble. The McGruffmobile - The Black Case has current resident info. We will have two (2) new Fire Extinguishers. The First Aid Box is current. The JULY schedule should be out soon, and Linda will send it to me. Lesson for the day: This season is forecasted to be wetter and warmer so Hurricane preparation may become a familiar part of our vocabulary. A word about our pets – Make sure you have a plan for Fluffy and Fido and other critters. If sudden emergencies arise there will be less stress if you include a plan for your pets. If evacuation is quick, having some extra supplies on hand is a good idea. Also, talking to your Veterinarian for other advice; being aware some public shelters may not be equipped to handle pets; some hotels do not allow pets etc. Is your pet microchipped? Maybe consider planning with neighbors, friends or relatives for availability to care or evacuate your pets if you are unable to do so. You can contact your local animal shelter if you are unsure how to care for your pet during an emergency. How ‘bout an Emergency Kit for your pet? Think about the basics for survival – food, water, meds. Maybe have 2 kits – one if you are sheltering in place and a lightweight version if you are evacuating. Remember to ensure contents stay fresh. Here’s a suggested list – several days of food, water, bowls, meds, collar w ID – harness, leash, crate or carrier, grooming needs, sanitations stuff- litter box, litter, newspapers, paper towels, trash bags etc. Don’t forget a picture of you and your pet together for ID purposes. And don’t forget their favorite toys. One more thing….. John and I are up to specs with COVID-19 instruction guidelines and are offering several classes free in a COVID-safe environment for all NW-CERT volunteers. We can review Hands-Only CPR and review the AED. First Aid and STOP-THE-BLEED are an option If we have a chance and maybe we can cover Near-drowning. Can’t say THANKS loud or long enough for all your volunteer efforts to make Sunshine a safer place to live and play.

Valerie Basaldua SEPO Office Sent 2020-06-08: VOLUNTEER NEEDED: Women's Club SEPO Newsletter Editor - Hi All. I hope everyone’s summer is going well. I’ve waited before sending this out to see what my time allocation between SEPO communications and being on the Board would turn out to be. What I anticipated was going to happen is happening. Between the Board and doing all SEPO communications I’m approaching overload. And knowing how much effort I will need to put forth to keep the Sunshine Web site up-to-date this coming winter season (now that the Covid-19 restrictions have been lifted within Sunshine) I am resigning as Women's Club Primary Newsletter Editor . Both I and Janis McFee (Women's Club President) are hoping that one of you kind, friendly and willing female Sunshine residents will volunteer to take over this position starting with the next Newsletter. What I’m proposing ongoing is that the Primary Newsletter Editor : Prepare the SEPO E-News e-mails they want sent out for – * the initial e-mail notice that Newsletter articles are due by the 24th of the Month. * the final e-mail notice that Newsletter articles are due by the 24th of the Month. These e-mails generally don’t change much, if any, from month to month. Ensure the sender of the article is notified that it was received (This is a canned response). Review the article (content and accuracy of data) and work with the requestor to get the article finalized (if any revisions to the original are needed). I’ll be honest - Sometimes that’s a smooth process and sometimes it’s not. Take all of the finalized articles and format/create the Newsletter. Send the ‘final’ document to me (Beth Parrish). The Primary Editor will also be responsible for maintaining the Newsletter Guidelines on the Web site HERE . The next steps I’m proposing is that I (as the Secondary Newsletter Editor & SEPO Communications): Review the final Newsletter sent to me by the Primary Editor. Add any applicable Web site links or anything else that may be applicable (i.e. attachments). Send out the Newsletter to the community via SEPO E-News e-mail prior to the first of the following month. Post it on the Sunshine Web site HERE . The Women's Club ByLaws state the Newsletter is published for the months of September thru March. Since I have been Editor, I have been sending them the end of September thru the end of March. I don’t believe I have ever published anything 'for' September. I will be requesting this change be made to the Women's Club ByLaws this coming winter season. With all of that said, I will be willing to work with the new Primary Editor for as long as it takes for that person to feel comfortable doing it on her own. The first e-mail that needs to be sent soliciting articles doesn’t need to go out until September 17. I would love to start working with a volunteer by September 1, 2021 at the latest . Please feel free to call me at any time with questions. I look forward to working with one of you ladies on this.

Tony found a document describing it – what, who, when etc - but wasn’t sure if it had been previously approved by a Board or if anyone, other than those who gave it to him, had ever seen it. Beth updated it and requested the Board approve it at the May 20 meeting. Due to the start time of this event varying depending on how long it stays light and how hot it is, the following occurred at the Board meeting. Jean moved we change the name to the “O’Clockers Golf Group”. Beth seconded it. It was approved unanimously by acclamation. Jean then moved to approve the document, with the name change. Larry seconded it. It was approved unanimously by acclamation. Since then: 1) Beth updated the document accordingly 2) Tony distributed it to - * Those residents who run/guide this event (George Moore & Donna Myers) * the SEPO Office 3) Beth - * put it on Web site HERE . * is distributing it to the community via this e-mail SEPO Board Sent 2021-06-08: Name Tags Available in the SEPO Office - Sunshine Name Tags for those listed HERE have been received and are available for pickup in the SEPO Office.

The old can shed in the storage lot has been replaced by the Can Cottage. Under the direction of Lenore Combs (SEPO Board member in charge of the storage lot) a committee was appointed by the Woodworker's club to consider the condition of the can shed. The committee (Vic Hillman, Tony Tramel and Pat Harvey) checked the old building and it was solid, even if it had been badly mistreated over time. The committee, working with Lenore decided to make it a “Fun” project and it just sort of happened from there. Vic offered the pickets, a new door handle, stepping stones and trim boards along the front. Sam Davis offered the porch (steps), Pat supplied the paint and Heidi Dill did the signs / art work. It's amazing what we can accomplish as we work together. As nice as it may look, it is still the place to bring your empty aluminum beverage cans for recycling.

Sorry for any confusion this may have caused. Beth Parrish, SEPO E-Mail E-News Admin E-Mail: sepoenews@gmail.com 314-960-6710 ************************************ 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.

He died peacefully yesterday Thursday 3 March at home. Stan was an avid golfer and delivered Sunshine news on the net to us. Stan and Sylvia moved to San Antonio several months ago to be with family. God Bless them. -- Lenore J Combs Sent 2022-03-03: SEPO Communications Changes - As some of you know I have been looking into ways to free up my time from all of my Volunteer efforts for this wonderful community. I need to get some of my life back. Anyway, I have been reviewing all of the 'communications' tasks I perform concerning the Newsletter, E-Mail and the Web site. The Newsletter came first. After several months of asking for help or turning it over to someone, Sue (Sue-Bob) Swidryk has graciously accepted the responsibility of preparing and distributing the Women's Club Newsletter to the community ongoing, starting with the Oct 2022 publication. E-Mail was next. I will continue to send SEPO E-Mails but will be changing the timing of when I send them. Instead of sending the e-mails out whenever I sit down at the computer and see them in my Inbox, I will be doing the following. When a SEPO e-mail arrives in my Inbox I will 'queue' it up to be sent overnight. By doing this you won't have to be checking your e-mail throughout the day (which most of you probably don't do anyway - HA). You will see everything the first time you log into your e-mail (at whatever time of day that may be). This new process will start next Monday, March 7 . I hear some of you asking yourself - what if I need something sent out right away? The solution to sending 'emergency' e-mails is for you to either 'call' or 'text' me and let me know of the urgency. I will send it as soon as I can. NOTE: I will continue to update the Web site with all e-mails sent HERE . I will do this as time permits within 24 hours of an e-mail being sent. Now for the Web site. MARKET - Homes for Sale or Rent : I will continue to list these the same as I do now. Looking For AND Household+ For Sale will be Going Away at 5PM on March 15. I know this may upset some people. Although it is not difficult to do, it does take time to put those listings out there, most of the time with pics and then follow that up with an e-mail informing the community the page(s) were updated. And on multiple occasions I just get the info out there and I get a notice that the items sold immediately. Hence, I have to go out and delete everything I just added. As Background - Both of these pages were created when Covid-19 hit. No one was allowed to enter the Library, which is previously where these types of items were posted. Now you are free to go to the library 24 hrs a day. I will be asking the Board President, the Board Director of the SEPO Buildings and Valerie to determine if a different and/or better spot can be set aside in the Office/Library for residents to physically post these types of items ongoing. The community will be notified of the outcome of this review. OTHER WEB PAGES - I plan to do a thorough review this summer of how the Web site is set up and what types of information is being posted. I would appreciate any and all constructive criticism/help with making the Web site a useful place for our Residents/Renters to obtain information. And I also want to make it as enticing as possible to attract new residents to our community. On a final note, I will be updating any affected Communications Guidelines as my time permits and notify everyone when the guidelines have been updated on the Web site. If anyone has any questions, comments etc. about any of the above, please feel free to contact me. Thx for your understanding with these changes.

The topic is Birds of North America and their habitat. There is no charge for the program, but we would like for you to sign up in the library, on the easel, if you are coming. That way we will know how many to prepare for. Cookies, ice tea & coffee will be served. Monday, March 7th, 7:00 PM in Retzlaff Hall. Ladonna Harvey Sent 2022-03-03: MARKET: New Household/Outdoor Items - Please go to the Sunshine MARKET: Homes For Sale AND Household to see items either 'added' or 'updated today (03-03-22). And as a Gentle Reminder - Once your items have sold, please inform me so I can remove from the Web site. Thx.

But some feel that the true meaning of Christmas is actually in bringing the greatest happiness to others – take Charlie Brown vs. the Grinch. So – end result, many participants and on lookers enjoyed this evening – that’s the Sunshine way! Thanks to all who turned out for this event and made it special – from participants to judges to helpers and to spectators. There was lots of work behind the scenes to make this successful. The Harlingen Police Department lead out followed by our Neighborhood Watch McGruffmobile and assorted Golf Carts. Our Christmas Chorus sang assorted carols along with the Christmas Tree Lighting. The Harlingen Fire Truck brought Santa who arrived at Retzlaff Hall for photo ops. Cocoa and cookies were served plus we inherited the delicious left overs for the Bake Sale (Jane Olson et al).

Dale Hopfner & Sherri Gardner Casino Night Chairs (FROM 01-04-2019 E-NEWS): Casino Night - We are preparing for our 6th Annual Casino Night as well as "our" last. We have decided to step down as Casino night co-chairs. It has been an interesting and at times overwhelming experience. We feel we have it fine tuned now and it is a great fund raiser for the Women's Club. Therefore, it is our hope that someone else within our community would enjoy the challenge and continue this project and keep it going for the Women's Club! We feel that if it is dropped at this point, it would be difficult to reestablish, as well could end up with higher costs. So, we are hoping there are a few of you out there in our community, that would be willing to shadow us in our last year and see what it takes to operate. Now would be a great time to step up and learn the ropes! You are welcome to attend our next meeting on Tuesday and discuss any questions you may have or give either one of us a call if you are interested.

We would just like to thank everyone for their support of this event, not only this year but over the past 6 years! We never knew that Casino night would grow into such a popular event, but we are sure glad it did. Without the large number of volunteers it takes to run this event, our success would not have been possible. We are so grateful to all who have volunteered their time, effort and financial support to our Casino night. As well as to all of our Sponsors and all who attended our event and helped to make it one fun and exciting evening! Thank you as well to all who sing our praises, it is very much appreciated but humbling. Because it really does "take a village" and what a village we have here in Sunshine Estates. Please keep supporting the Women's Club events, as well as all the other events that make our community so fun and vibrant! See y'all around Sunshine and thanks again! Most sincerely Dale Hopfner & Sherri Gardner Past Casino night co-chairs *************** 03-14-19 ----- Thu ----- D ance/Fundraiser: Music by The Classics Band (Deb Robins & Tiffany Prater) COMPLETE (FROM FEB 2019 NEWSLETTER): The March Mystery Party was canceled for this year but a new event is being planned for the same night, March 14th. Watch for more info about this event! (FROM 02-15-2019 Women's Club Mtg): The March Women's Club Activity will be a Dance in Retzlaff Hall. Music will be provided by The Classics Band. Wade Prater is a member of this band. They will play from 7 pm - 10 pm. Bring your own Snacks and Drinks. Watch for more details as they are finalized. Ronald McDonald Wish List (From 03-09-2019 E-News): 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. Tiffany and Debbie (From 03-17-2019 E-News): Donation Results - Ronald McDonald House From Beth : I saw Deb had posted the below on the SunshineCCE Facebook page. I know lots of you SEPO e-mail suscribers don't use Facebook so I thought it would be nice to share this with others. From Deb Robins : A big thank you to all of our generous neighbors. We were able to raise over $1400.00 for Ronald McDonald House! For those of you that missed the party, but would still like to donate, please feel free to drop by my home (4129 N Minnesota). I will be dropping off their wish list items, gift cards and money on Tuesday. Again, thank you for being so generous. Back to Top

We couldn't do it without you! And if I can be so bold, I'd like to thank those of you in advance, that have volunteered or plan to volunteer for the upcoming year. Unfortunately I was sick last week and wasn't able to attend the Women's Club activity planning meeting but Judy Stone and Pam Davis informed me of all the planned activities and all the fun activity ideas that were proposed. What a lot of fabulous ideas! I'm excited for a fun new year! This will be my 2nd year as the Women's Club activity director and like I said I'm excited for a new year of fun times. I have learned a lot along the way and will no doubt continue to learn new ways to help our volunteers. One way is that I plan on attending each activity committee's first meeting. That way I can get to know the volunteers better and go over the revised activity guidelines with the chairperson. A lot of activities/events already have a chairperson but there are some that are still in need of one. Once the proposed planned events are approved we will be posting them once again in the library. Please come in and take a look at what you might be interested in helping out with. We have one more Women's Club event planned for this year and that is the Farewell/Luau party on March 23rd. More details will follow the closer we get to that event. I hope everyone has a fun and safe summer! Come back rested and refreshed and ready to make the 2024-25 year the best ever! - Jill Ventrello, Women's Club Activities Director Sent 2024-04-22: Table Tennis Cancellation - Table Tennis has been cancelled due to other activities on Saturday, February 24.

It has come up missing – not only once, but twice – recently. I know we have had a lot of wind, but I vigilantly remove the flag and bring it into my house when I know it is going to be windy. I’m asking for your help. If you have by any chance seen an American flag(s) on the ground somewhere or otherwise know of the location of either of them, please contact me. Thank you in advance for helping me out with this issue. - Steve Valmassoi, 313-407-5826 4212 N MO St Sent 2024-02-22: political signs - POLITICAL SIGNS At yesterdays meeting, the question came up about political signs. Here is what I found: Political signs come under Chapter 394 of the Texas Transportation Code (TXDOT). This pertains mostly to Right-of-Way on highways and signs on poles etc. It states if signs are in a municipality, refer to city for codes and ordinances. Did that------ and the City of Harlingen has no restrictions as far as size or number of signs on a private lot. The only restrictions are -----signs are to be put up 90 days before the election and removed within 10 days after the election. My hope is that folks in our Community will use a little “common sense” if you want to put up these signs. Thanks in advance!!! - Jim Kennedy, SEPO Board President Sent 2024-02-22: UNAPPROVED: WC - Minutes from 2024-02-16 - The 'UNAPPROVED' minutes from the Women's Club meeting on Friday, Feb 16, 2024 are available on the Sunshine website HERE . - Karen Baase, WC Secretary Sent 2024-02-22: WC Bylaws: Proposed Updates for Review & to be voted on at the Mar 15, 2024 Mtg - As was discussed in the Feb 16, 2024 Women's Club meeting, the WC Bylaws have been reviewed and updates are being proposed.

I’ve been getting calls and having conversations with residents about vehicles speeding on our streets. I’m looking into those things I can do to encourage people to slow down, but it truly comes down to recognizing that our streets have walkers, joggers, bikers and lots of golf carts! Plus many folks have work being done on their homes by contractors currently. This means equipment and employees vehicles crowding the streets. (side note make sure your contractors have checked in with Valerie before starting work to get a permit for their vehicles) I’ll be adding more signs and other visual and physical items, to remind drivers to keep their speed down. But at the end of the day the majority of the people here are retired, what’s your rush! lol 20 mph is the speed limit but slower is safer.

Sunshine Garden Club: Meetings, News & Events Back to Garden Club Home Sent 2024-11-11: Sunshine Garden Club Time Change - Sunshine Garden Club Time Change November 12th Retzlaff Hall 5:15pm - 6:30pm Guest Speaker Topic: Soil Rejuvenation and Amendments Can you give new life to old potting soil. Absolutely! What about clay garden soil, Yes. Do you have container pots filled with old soil with or without plants? Do you toss the dried up dirt and replace with big box bags of potting mix? What if you need a small amount such as a handful or quart? What if you have lots of containers? Those bags of commercial potting mix can really add up in cost. Let’s breathe new life into that old soil. That just makes sense (cents)! Reusing old potted mix is more satisfying, sustainable, and environmentally friendly. Let’s revitalize that old soil! Are you ready to dig in? Join us for our November get together featuring Michael Navarro. 4:45 pm. Plantings/cuttings are available for a small donation. Snapdragon vine, salvia, basil, porterweed, milkweed, canna starts, crown of thorns, sweet potato vine. If you have extras in your garden feel free to bring. Donations will be put towards edging for gardens.

You may ask yourself, why native plants for my landscape? Janet provides information on the benefits of planting native plants, which help under these conditions. Landscaping with native plants can save you money, time, water and resources. They have better resistance to our weather; require less maintenance and sometimes no fertilizer or pesticides needed. All are welcome. Come February we will plan a trip to a park which features native plants. - Susanne Ulrich Sent 2022-12-20: Garden Club: Tips (Before & After a Freeze) - It's disheartening, but we do have a need for the knowledge provided in this email.
