S EPO Community Emails: May 2023 Sent 2023-05-31: UPDATED: Directories on Web site - I want to send out a big thanks to all of you who replied to my last Directory email in mid-May about needing to know if your Resident / Renter / Email information on the SEPO Directories was up-to-date. I have taken everyone's responses and incorporated them into this most recent directory update that is now on the Web site. I have worked with Valerie on some new resident info as well. However, you will see (marked in DARK BLUE ) that there is still some info that Valerie is not aware of concerning some buying and selling of homes with Sunshine over the last few months. Please make sure you get with her and get your office files updated. All of the new directories can be found HERE . If anyone still sees info that needs tended to, please let me know ASAP by replying to this email ( sepoenews@gmail.com ). If you have any questions or issues with accessing these directories, please contact me using info from my signature below.

Aside from decorating Veterans graves, parades and services are often held but after WWII, the purpose broadened and now recognizes all those who have served in all American Wars. The National Remembrance Act - Moment of Silence - pause at 3pm local time. (We will incorporate this with the program at the Gazebo). Sunshine is a proud community and there are two parts to our Memorial Day program - the Veterans Tribute (Golf Cart Parade & Gazebo Program) and the Potluck which will follow shortly thereafter in Retz Hall. There is a signup sheet in the Library. For the Parade and Gazebo part, I am looking for volunteers to help with several facets. The Potluck Team are doing their thing at Retz Hall. John and I need Flag Bearers to carry the Branch Flags and two escorts with wooden rifles (that don't shoot). Hoppy will help with sound. John will help with the Flag ceremony. I need two Neighborhood Watch volunteers to mark the area by the Gazebo from where the Flags will enter.

Last Spring in Retzlaff Hall, we unveiled our Sunshine Heroes Wall of Honor complete with their engraved names on an individual metal plate. There is also a Memory Book of photos of our heroes. This touching monument serves as a reminder that many of our residents sacrificed their lives for the freedom we enjoy today. (See picture below.) You may support this wall by completing an application and some brief information (form available at SEPO Office). We would like a photo in uniform. Jim Tennant is available for questions 616 866 9960. What is a Veteran? - whether retired, discharged, active duty or reserve – is someone who at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to ”The United States of America” for an amount up to and including his or her life. (Author unknown) What Is A Hero? - Dictionary.com defines a hero as a person noted for courageous acts or nobility of character. A true hero is someone who gives of themselves for the benefit of others, sometimes at great personal risk. There are many in our community who have given parts of their lives in the service of our country regardless of the risk. There are those who have chosen a career of community service – Law enforcement, First Responders and Fire Fighters are examples. All these people have given freely of themselves for the benefit of others. These are a few examples of what we can all recognize as heroes, but we do not usually honor them for their service. If you save a person from a car accident or give CPR to someone you would be recognized for heroism. The person who donates blood to help others is a hero. A person who may donate an organ or bone marrow is a hero. Are these very special people any more heroic then the others who served us? Jim Tennant Wall of Honor (Ongoing) Sent 2020-03-21: SUNSHINE HEROES - As another winter season comes to a close, I just want to give you all a reminder about the SUNSHINE HEROES wall. In case you haven’t seen it, the wall is up in Retzlaff Hall and has 41 names on it. Those of you who have made a pledge for this project, I will be coming around this week to collect. I want to thank all those who have donated to this project both monetarily and with their time and labor. The applications are still available from Valerie in the SEPO office. When you complete your application return it to Valerie along with your picture. If you do not have a picture or prefer a current picture be sure to check the box on the form that you will need a picture taken. I will be contacting you upon my return in the fall to take a current picture for this book. Remember as we travel home to be safe and when you get there find your favorite picture of you or your spouse, in uniform or not, to be placed in the book that is placed with the display wall. I want to have this SUNSHINE HEROS display to represent all of the people who served. ​ Jim Tennant 4161 N Missouri (616)866-9960 Email: jimbuck1050@yahoo.com Back to Top

You are no doubt just as bored as I am today - all locked in and tired of daytime TV. If you haven't been to a Neighborhood Watch meeting before, this afternoon (Monday 2/15) at 3:00 is your chance to do something different. Neighborhood Watch is that group of volunteers that patrol our streets in the evenings, offer Operation ID services and also operate the security cameras. Catalytic converter thefts are going wild in St. Paul MN these days and we can probably expect them to become popular here in Harlingen again. It was the IR perimeter monitoring of the storage lot that seems to have taught the locals to leave us alone, but memories are short. Neighborhood watch does a lot for us. This afternoon you may as well set in on the virtual meeting and learn a lot more about NW. About 5 or 10 minutes before 3:00, click on the following: https://meet.google.com/tgt-wrgz-jcf and ask to be admittted to the meeting. Once admitted it might be good for you to mute your microphone unless you want everyone to hear what is happening in your house. The agenda can be found HERE .

It will be with the Original Dolphins Watch line who have been providing winter Texans with fun and informative tours for many years. You will see the giant oil platforms on the Gulf of Mexico and a wide assortment of international ships that ply their trade through the Port of Brownsville, The Port of Brownsville is the home to five of the nations largest ship-wrecking companies...who knew there was such a thing? It is also possible you will see native dolphins, local and migratory birds and learn about the shrimping industry. The boat will hold 40 people (actually the boat will hold 75 people, but because of Covid-19, I am limiting it to 40 people only). Beer, wine and shrimp will be offered. You can bring your own cooler. Afterwards, we might want to visit one of the restaurants on the island for dinner and/or drinks.

Carnival is another common name for Pre-Lenten festivities because in Latin carnelevarium means to take away or remove meat. Dear Friends, Mark your calendars for Tuesday - 16 February 2021. Our Women’s Club is the sponsor and Eileen Anderson and Marian Young are points of contact. Looking for lots of volunteers and great ideas – contact Eileen at 507 317 0296 and or Marian 719 468 4556. Eileen and Marian can plan a meeting. * This is an initial announcement for this Mardi Gras event – so start forming your ideas and Krewes - do your colors. Prizes will be awarded. Here’s a little history to get you in the spirit. Mardi Gras, is traditionally celebrated as “Fat Tuesday” before Ash Wednesday and is the start of Lent. It is a tradition dating back thousands of years to pagan spring and fertility rights. The first Mardi Gras took place in March 1699 when French explorers landed in New Orleans where they held a small celebration dubbed Port du Mardi Gras. In the decades that followed, New Orleans and other French settlements began marking the holiday with street parties, masked balls and lavish dinners. In 1857, a secret society of New Orleans businessmen called the Mistick Krewe of Comus organized a torch-lit Mardi Gras procession with marching bands and rolling floats setting the tone for future public celebrations. These iconic colors have meaning – Purple is for justice, gold is power and green stands for faith. Since then, these krewes have remained a fixture of the Carnival scene including throwing beads, wearing masks, decorating floats and eating King cake. Let’s add Sunshine to the map!

A statement that there will be continuing fees in accordance with the "Fee Schedule" as each subsequent fifteen (15) day period elapses and the violation is not cured. ​ 4. A statement that there is no aggregate amount of the fees which may accrue for the same violation.

FEE SCHEDULE ​ The imposition of fees will be on the following basis: ​ A. First Violation: $100.00 imposed for each fifteen (15) day period that the same violation continues to exist until cured. ​ B.

If said construction does not halt immediately upon receipt of violation and fee notice, an additional fee of $100.00 will be imposed every day until construction ceases. V. INFORMATION REGARDING FEES ​ A. Fees will be imposed in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights or remedies of the Association allowed by the Declaration or other Rules and Regulations adopted by the Board. ​ B.

The Owner shall be responsible for all attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the enforcement of any provision of the Declaration and/or the Rules and Regulations in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 209 of the Texas Property Code. ​ IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED that the purpose of these Rules and Regulations Pertaining to Fees and Fee Structure is to provide a standard for the Association. Notwithstanding these Rules and Regulations, the Board may set fee amounts on a case-by-case basis, provided the fee is reasonable considering the nature, frequency, and effects of the violation. The Board may also establish a schedule of fees for certain types of violations. If circumstances warrant a variance from the Association's published Rules and Regulations, the Board will document the reasons for the variance in the minutes of its meeting.
