    S EPO Community Emails: January 2025 (In Process of adding rest of emails for this month. ) Sent 2025-01-01: STAINED GLASS CLASS STARTS THURSDAY JAN 9TH - Stained glass classes will start Thursday, Jan 9th, from 6:30 to about 8:30 p.m. These sessions are for all residents and renters who are interested in trying your hand at stained glass. We have many donated items, such as patterns, tools, glass, etc., so you need nothing but your own imagination, and your two hands, and a desire to try this art form. Classes are held in the woodshop, which is located in the storage area, and you will need your front gate clicker in order to enter. There is no exact order for the classes, so if you miss a week, that is not a problem. I am hoping to have a few other glass artists to assist in helping people feel more comfortable working with the glass. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. If I don't answer, please leave me a voicemail and I will promptly return your call. - Cathy Chajec, 708-280-8910 Sent 2025-01-01: WC: New Homeowners' Party - Sent 2025-01-01: Pool has been reopened - Our pool has been reopened. - Tony Adams, SEPO Board Sent 2025-01-01: Birding and Nature Club Notice - Hey, Birding and Nature enthusiasts! Just a reminder, Mike Heep, our local expert on regional and indigenous plants along with Rio Grande Valley habitat, will be our featured speaker Monday, January 6 at 7PM in Retzlaff Hall. Please join us for this enjoyable and informative presentation. All Are welcome! - Deb Jones, Secretary, Birding and Nature Club Back to Top

(First submitted are the first reviewed for approval.) Items in 2.b. above (if not already submitted). All other activities/meetings (i.e., Other Golf events, Quilters, Line Dancing, Cards, etc). “PROCESS” for getting an Activity/Meeting request approved. Requestor: Obtain Activity/Meeting Room Request Form from: SEPO office or Document Slot in the Library or Sunshine Web site HERE Submit completed request form to the SEPO Office Mgr as per the priority/time requirements defined in “Item 2” above. If the request form is not ‘required’ in 2.a. above, it should be submitted at least three (3) days prior to the event, if possible. The form should contain as much information as the submitter is aware of at the time of requested approval. As additional details are finalized, such as the actual time of the event versus prep and cleanup times, this new/revised information needs to be supplied to the Office by submitting a revised request form, if possible. This will ensure event conflicts don’t occur and both the SEPO Calendar and the Sunshine website are updated/accurate. When an activity/meeting is cancelled please inform the SEPO Office. For example, a request had been submitted to play a particular card game for a three month period and the group decides to cancel this activity after two months. A revised activity request form will trigger this change to be reflected in both the SEPO Calendar and the website and let residents know the location is now available for others to use. SEPO Board: The Board formally approves/rejects requests submitted for review at the March Board Mtg each year (see 2.a. and 2.b. above). Again, any requests submitted for review at the March Board Mtg need to be in the SEPO Office before March 1 to give the Board time to review them prior to the March mtg. SEPO Office Mgr: March Board meeting – Ensures all requests to be reviewed at the March Board meeting are forwarded to the Board as soon as received in the office. After March Board meeting – Reviews all other requests as they are submitted to ensure the date(s) and time(s) requested do not conflict with anything already approved and scheduled. For these requests the SEPO Office may contact the Board Secretary and/or the SEPO Communications Manager to get questions answered, issues resolved and/or obtain advice concerning approval/rejection of the request. Approves/rejects and dates the request. Notifies the Requestor of ‘Acceptance’ or ‘Rejection’ (and reason why, if rejected) of the request. (The requestor should be provided with and file a copy of his/her accepted/rejected Request Form for his/her records.) Files the Request Form in the SEPO Office (either electronically or physically). Records/Updates the activity/meeting in the SEPO Office calendar. Ensures the Sunshine Website Manager receives the information to post on the website. “Changes” after Approval. As stated previously, the requestor should provide as much information as possible on the original request form. The form should include days/times for all three of the following, as applicable: activity preparation (decorating, cooking etc) the activity itself (i.e., dinner and dance) cleanup (taking down decorations, rearranging tables/chairs etc) NOTE: Please avoid simply requesting to reserve the area(s) where you are holding your event for the ‘entire day’ – unless you will truly be needing the area(s) from 12 AM to 11:59 PM. As additional details, days/times etc, become final or are changed , please submit a ‘revised’ Activity Request Form and note on this revision the date of the original request, which was previously returned to you when it was approved. “Timeframes” on Activity Requests. When you are requesting an area for a recurring activity i.e., Cards and you don’t know what timeframe you will be needing the area for, you may leave the end day/time blank or say ‘unknown’. This will be entered into the SEPO Calendar and the website with no end date. However, when/if you do stop holding the event, you need to complete a revised form so that the office knows your reserved area is now open for others to reserve. This will trigger the office to inform the website manager and will consequently keep the community informed of which activities are occurring at any time. There has been confusion in the past about whether an activity that only occurs during the winter season, i.e., a SEPO Club meeting or a particular card game, needs an Activity Request form completed for each winter season. The answer is ‘yes’. Do Not Assume your ‘winter only’ activity will remain in the SEPO Calendar and on the website during upcoming winter seasons without being approved again. There may be other circumstances not addressed in this process about when you do or don’t need to submit an Activity Request form. When in doubt, submit a form to the office. If there are questions concerning any of the above, please contact the SEPO Office.

Sent 2024-09-10: REMINDER (first): OCT 2024 Newsletter Articles Due by End of Day SEP 24, 2024 - Yes - It's that time of year already. The Sunshine Community 2024-2025 Winter Season (10-01-2024 thru 03-31-2024) is almost here. And I've volunteered to create your Sunshine Newsletter again this year. I made an executive decision last weekend. Since some of this winter season's activities start right off the bang near the beginning of October, I think sending the first reminder that the October 2024 Newsletter articles are due by end of day on the 24th of this month (September) is warranted. All articles need to be submitted to seponewsletter@gmail.com . And, if at all possible, please don't wait until you get the next reminder (later in September) to send me your articles. But, if you are waiting for as many details as possible to be finalized, I totally understand. This is a super way to get the word out about upcoming activities. Even if you don't have all of the information finalized by the Newsletter deadline, at least put 'what you do know so far' or even just a 'Save the Date' sentence in the Newsletter. Updated Newsletter Guidelines , dated Aug 1, 2024 , are posted on the website HERE . Prior Newsletters, which you can use as examples, can be found HERE . Let's fill this Newsletter with all kinds of good info for the Sunshine Community. Please contact me with any issues/questions.

This involves a new, and much needed heater for the hot tub. The old one was not reliable so this should solve our problem and give us even heat in the hot tub. Also, there will be a new sand filter for both hot tub and pool. Sand will give us a better filtering system and be more efficient. This will not only give us a better filtering system, but make the chemicals do a better job. Lalo did his usual great job in the installation. Pat him on the back when you see him!!!

It wasn’t happening all the time but was not what we were expecting. They had discussed it with the manufacturer and their techs and thought the SOS/Yelper was picking up sound coming from the gate and causing the gate to open, that’s what the codes in the opener were saying. So they’ve moved the SOS/Yelper further from the gate to see if that will solve that problem.

This letter is to help remind you, while you are “back home in the northlands" , to consider maintaining this tradition for our 2024 Tournament. We are soliciting your help in continuing to prepare “Gift Baskets” of items found locally in your area during your summer stay. We suggest selecting things that set your home area apart from others. These gift baskets will be awarded as prizes during our Awards Banquet. I am aware of several recipients in the past of these unique gift basket prizes, who have indicated how blessed they were to receive these baskets, and they genuinely appreciated Sunshine Residents’ generosity. In our 2023 Awards Banquet, one of the people who received a Gift Basket in the prior year donated a beautiful quilt made by his wife to pay it forward. For example, I most recently lived in Lafayette, Louisiana. So, I will put together a basket of “Cajun items”; seasoning, rice, Tabasco /hot sauces, Beignet mix, cookbooks, and locally brewed beer/wine for our gift basket. Just think of items your area is famous for and start accumulating them to bring back with you. We want the baskets in the $30-$50 value range. - -By preparing the baskets we are also providing a showcase for various products that are in North America where: Sunshine Estate residents live during the summer time. I hope to see everyone in the Valley in a few months.

  • Birding & Nature Club | Sunshine Estates

    Birding & Nature Club Contact: Tom Stone Meets: 1st Monday each Month @ 7 PM (Nov - March) Location: Library Details: Do you have an interest in nature (expertise not required)? The Sunshine Birding and Nature Club is open to all residents of our community. We typically host a community-wide potluck and bring in a featured speaker for a very enlightening program in January. Watch for notices to be in the Sunshine Newsletter and SEPO E-mails for more information closer to that time. Later in the spring we try to have a field trip related to the program, which is also open to the community to participate. Some past trips have included; Port Aransas to see the whooping cranes, South Padre Island Birding boat tours, Laguna Atascosa tour, the Turtle center and the National Birding center. Occasionally a birding walk through our community is hosted by someone with experience in identifying birds. Watch the Sunshine Newsletter and SEPO E-Mails for announcements. Background on the Club: The Birding and Nature Club is an offshoot from the volunteers who cleared the area along Texas avenue after hurricane Dolly (July 2008). Prior to hurricane Dolly the brush and trees grew up all the way to the chain link fence in the area past the front gate. Further the swamp and bushes grew up along much of Texas avenue to your left as you drive into our neighborhood. After hurricane Dolly the residents / volunteers decided to clean up the area significantly. Besides clearing the area of brush and broken trees they also raised the money to plant 56 new trees. Those same volunteers built and funded the pergola, the gazebo and the park benches that you now see and enjoy. As you look at the gazebo you will notice that there are a group of panels below the railing. All of the birds shown in those panels have been seen in our Sunshine swamp.

All are invited. We will be discussing the rescheduled field trip and planting trees. Questions? Text Debi Warner at 956-357-8999. Sent via SEPO E-News E-Mail 2021-08-29: Blackie has come back - We are in luck. An old friend has decided to come back and visit our neighborhood. Blackie has been seen a few times around the neighborhood recently and we haven't seen blackie for some time. That's really unfortunate because blackie is perhaps one of the best friends in nature that we can have. Blackie is officially known as a Texas indigo snake. Now you are probably repulsed by the idea of a snake being our best friend. But do not fear but rarher respect blackie because blackie eats other snakes, poisonous ones as well as a wide variety of other small creatures. Blackie is neither poisonous nor aggressive but really a very placid creature. Blackie is the subject of a Texas Parks and Wildlife brochure from which I will share some excerpts with you. _____ https://tpwmagazine.com/archive/2015/mar/scout5_wildthing_indigo/ "Indigo snakes are big snakes. Most adult indigo snakes grow to between 5½ and 6½ feet in length. The longest recorded indigo snake was nearly 8½ feet long. Texas indigo snakes are diurnal predators, meaning they are active during the day. They will eat almost any vertebrate animal they can subdue with their strong jaws, including toads, frogs, salamanders, lizards, turtles, birds, small mammals and other snakes. One specimen was found with three mice, two Mexican burrowing toads and two juvenile snapping turtles in its stomach. They are also known to eat rattlesnakes and copperheads , which can be three to four times heavier than an indigo snake. “It’s a gorgeous snake, and it’s not aggressive,” says Andy Gluesenkamp, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department herpetologist. “If you’re nice to the snake, it’ll give you a chance to look at it.” Texas indigo snakes are listed by the state as a threatened species, and because of its protected status, it is illegal to harm, kill, collect or sell Texas indigo snakes. The Texas indigo snake is revered in South Texas, where many ranchers are aware of its propensity for eating predatory rattlesnakes. Ranchers have a fondness for the Texas indigo snake,” Gluesenkamp says. “It’s a true South Texan snake: charismatic, big and tough.” ____ So - since we have seen Blackie around the Estates lately, I would ask you to "just let it be" if you see it. It is your friend, even if it is a snake.

Be sure to read it as there is great info in it concerning your 2024 SEPO Election Ballots and the multitude of great activities coming up. Thanks to everyone who contributed. If you have questions about any of the information in this Newsletter, please contact the person who wrote the article. You can view/print a copy of it on the website HERE . I will be placing a Master Copy of this Newsletter in the library sometime today and Valerie will make copies for anyone who wishes to read it from paper. Thanks so much all for helping to 'get the word out'. - Beth Parrish, SEPO Newsletter Mgr Email: seponewsletter@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2024-01-25: 2024 SEPO Election: Depositing your Ballots into the Box - When you take your ballot envelope to the Office/Library building to vote, please ensure you place it in the slot on top of the 'locked' ballot box that is sitting in front of Valerie's office. Ballot envelopes have been found pushed under Valerie's office plexiglass window and even deposited in the slot located just above the 'suggestion box', which you can see in the picture below. A Board member even found one that had been shoved under the Office door and just lying on the floor. And yes, the Ballot Box was in it's current position when the envelopes mentioned above were found. Please respect the SEPO Election rules. Call me with questions at any time. - Beth Parrish, 2024 Board Election Committee Chairperson Email: 2024boardelectioncommittee@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2024-01-25: NW-CERT: Minutes, Jan 15, 2024 - Please take the time to read the minutes from our meeting on Jan 15, which can be found HERE . -- Lenore J Combs 956 245 1276, Coordinator Sunshine NW-CERT Team Sent 2024-01-25: Retiring sepoenews@gmail.com - Two things - in a Nutshell: SEPO emails will start coming to you from sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com instead of sepoenews@gmail.com . When sending information to this address for me to send to the community, please include your email address along with your name. If you want to know 'why', keep reading. FIRST: I have been informed by the SEPO email system we use (BREVO) that "gmail" and "google" are tightening up their restrictions on being able to send/receive bulk emails. They are doing this to prevent/cut down on the number of SPAM emails you receive. And that's a good thing. Since sepoenews@gmail.com is definitely a bulk sender and the majority of the Sunshine community uses gmail to received SEPO emails, I'm currently working on retiring sepoenews@gmail.com as the sending email address. I will keep this gmail account open for a while until I'm sure I have done everything I need to with the new one, which is sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com . The only thing you, as the receiver, need to do is ensure the new sending email address is not considered spam when you receive it. I did send the 'pool update' email last evening using the new email, so if you didn't get it check, your spam folder. SECOND: BREVO has implemented a new feature that allows me to enter in the 'reply to' slot the email address of the person who sent me the information. That way when anyone replies to a SEPO email it will go the composer of the email and not back to me. I will be updating the email guidelines to request you include your email address along with your name when you send me something to email to the community. Otherwise, I will have to go to the directory to look you up every time I send an email for you. Just think of it as if someone was replying directly to you when you post something on Facebook, instead of a middle-man. So onward & upward. Please call with any questions or if you have any issues with this ongoing. - Beth Parrish, SEPO Enews Email Manager Email: sepoenews@sunshinecountryclub.com 314-960-6710 Sent 2024-01-24: Wednesday pool update - Pool update as of 4:45 Wednesday, January 24, 2024. - Heater is running, thanks again to Lalo, and water temps are on the way up. Right now water temp is 73 on the way up to 90. Hopefully, most of that will take place during the evening. Will check again in the morning, and let folks know. Thank most of you for your patience and enjoy the pool again. - Jim Kennedy, SEPO Board Sent 2024-01-24: 2024 SEPO Election: Audio Recording from "Meet & Greet" - Technology bit us in the 'you know what' yesterday. We thought we were recording the "Meet & Greet" session via Google Meet, but have not received anything from Google. And I'm betting we don't. For my own benefit, I had turned on my tape recorder. Although you may hear some paper rustling in the background, I think for the most part, this will provide valuable information to those who could not attend the session yesterday. And to those who did, it can be a refresher. Here's another kicker - darn it. I didn't look down to see my recorder wasn't on until after the three candidates had introduced themselves. I so totally apologize for missing that section. The recording does start: When I opened the session up to questions to the Board candidates. That was followed by an explanation of the three ballots by the Board, followed by lots of very good questions. Then I spoke and also answered questions about the ballot / voting processes themselves. Again, lots of great questions were asked. And we munched on sweets provide by the Women's Club throughout the entire event. Yum. You can access the audio recording here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t3rQyMAf8IGklH9HXktu_5ozL-LD0LRs/view?usp=sharing The file is very large, so please be patient when listening to it, as I had to store it in an area I don't normally use. If you have any questions, either with the technology or the election, please don't hesitate to contact me.

People have left the pool area because the music interfered with their enjoyment of the area. People go to the pool to swim, sunbathe, read, relax, etc. If you are alone at the pool, feel free to play your music. When another person enters the area, please, be considerate and ask that person if he/she objects to your music or the volume level of your music. If it bothers him/her, please, turn your music off or use earbuds. The reverse is true as well. If there is someone in the pool or lounging in the area, the "music lover" should request permission before turning on his/her music. I regret having to address a situation that should simply be a matter of consideration of others' peaceful enjoyment.

Viola (Oley) Reuter Sent 2022-08-06: ATTENTION: Overwatering of lawn during a time of drought - Some farmers in this area have had their water allotments cancelled due to the drought. They cannot grow crops without irrigating. You may have noticed when you drive down our streets that there is standing water in them due to residents over-watering. Anyone who is watering their lawn should limit it to twice a week. Watering more often than that saturates the ground, and it will not be able to soak up water when it rains. This adds to our flooding situation. Thank you for your cooperation. - SEPO Board Sent 2022-08-04: MARKET: Home For Sale - Please visit the Sunshine Market to view information about my home that is For Sale. - Tiffany Prater Call or text 956-574-1010 Sent 2022-08-01: SEPO Activities Calendar - Last spring it was suggested by more than one resident that the 2-pager that has been used for years wasn't very 'friendly' to read/interpret. After some research, it was decided to start adding all of the SEPO activities, meetings etc that were requested (see request process HERE ) to the SEPO G-Mail Office Calendar. I do believe Valerie has been posting that calendar (by month) in the library all summer. Although I had never gotten around to putting it on the Web site - low and behold - both August & September are out there as of yesterday. (see this page ) When you look at it for the first time you will probably say - I can't read that!! Simply enlarge the document on your computer or other smart device to view the details. I have also included the 'color legend' of where the activities take place on page one of each month's calendar. Please review the calendar carefully to ensure the activites, etc you have previously requested are listed correctly - days, dates, times, descriptions etc. Please let the office know if something needs added, deleted or changed. I know things are pretty much status quo for the next couple of months, so I probably won't be updating these two documents on the Web site. However, with the winter season rapidly approaching, I need to figure out a 'not so labor intensive' method of keeping the updated monthly calendars on the Web site. Please contact me with any questions or issues you may have. Beth Parrish SEPO Web site Admin E-Mail: sunshinecountryclubweb@gmail.com 314-960-6710 Back to Top

Prior to starting any EXTERIOR improvement, maintenance or structure, submit any required forms and information to the SEPO Office for approval by the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Allow up to 25 days for approval/rejection notification. Plan your project accordingly. You will be notified by the SEPO Office of your approval/rejection status by email or phone. Please note the following Form and Process changes once your request has been approved. A new generic ‘project permit’ form has been developed, which does not display any of the owners’ personal information. The SEPO Office has laminated several of these forms with different permit numbers and different street names. After a resident's ACC request has been approved, the office writes the street number and date over the laminate on the Permit form and gives it to the resident. This form is to be posted near the front door of the address on the permit, so it is clearly visible from the street curb during the entire time of the project. When the project is completed, the resident returns the laminated form to the office and the work is logged in the office as completed. The street number and date are wiped from the form, so it can be used again by another resident. Dates when Requests are reviewed by the ACC – The ACC is scheduled to meet monthly on the 1st and 15th of each month, except when the date falls on a Holiday or the Weekend. In that case, they meet on the next Business day.
