Or if you can/prefer you can print the form and take it to the Office. ​ As previously stated in one or more Board meetings last year, gathering this Age information is 'Required for HUD exemption of 55+ communities'. The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination of various things, including age. In 1995 there was an amendment to a section of this Act allowing exemptions for communities that are age 55+. However, we need documentation that shows the number and percentage of people living here who are 55+. ​ We have started collecting age information during 'New Homeowners’ Orientation, but still lack this data from around 100 owners (at last count). ​ By collecting this data from all Homeowners, if we are challenged by the Federal government, we have the information. ​ Thank you for your cooperation in helping us gather this required information.

The cost is $6 and includes white and dark meat turkey, ham, dressing, gravy and coffee, tea and water. You supply a dish to serve 12 that will enhance our meal. BYOB of course.

However, if noone steps up to assist the Eich's with this ongoing , this Sunday will be the ONLY Sunday Ice Cream will be served.

While we are now fortunate to have Lalo available to do the careful mowing / trimming, the bulk of the maintenance for that area has been the responsibility of the Birding and Nature club / enthusiasts (BNE). Part of that is the care of the flower beds around the Gazebo. The flower beds are planted with two varieties of material that are quite hardy here in south Texas and require relatively little attention. They do need a little hand weeding and perhaps other TLC from time to time. The beds are covered by dedicated sprinklers, on a timer, so watering is not a problem.

This section needs to be updated. Election Committee Activity for 2022 Election Nominating Committee Activity for 2022 Election (In Process) NOMINATING COMMITTEE ACTIVITY ​ Sent via SEPO E-News 2021-12-27: SEPO Board Nomination Committee Candidate Announcement - The SEPO Board Nomination Committee, consisting of Cathy Richmond (Chairperson), Jerry Drost, Share Nelson, Kathleen Sunders and Nancy Steele, are pleased to submit the following Candidate names in alphabetic order for the 2022 election of the SEPO Board of Directors. All of the Candidates have been interviewed by one or more Nominating Committee members and were considered by this Committee for nomination based upon their responses to the questions asked of them. We are pleased to announce the SEPO Residents who met the requirements and are in good standing in the Sunshine Estates Community. We encourage the current Board of Directors to include their names in the 2022ballot. The Nominating Committee will make that motion during the January 2022 Board of Directors Nominations meeting. Randy Davis David Fleiner Mark Owen Tony Tramel This list of candidates is currently posted outside the SEPO Office. Please contact Cathy Richmond (Chairperson) with any questions (303)990-2730 ​ Nov 15, 2021: SEPO Board Nominating Committee Roster - ​ The members of the SEPO Board Nominating Committee are made up of: Cathy Richmond (Chair) Jerry Drost Share Nelson Nancy Steele Kathleen Sunders The purpose of this committee is to identify and recommend SEPO Residents who would like to serve on the SEPO Board of Directors. There are three (3) positions to fill for the forthcoming SEPO Board election in February 2022. If you would like consideration and possibly be recommended by the Nominating Committee as a SEPO Board Candidate, please contact any member to set up an interview. Cathy Richmond SEPO Nominating Committee Chairperson ​ Nov 15, 2021: Why Become an HOA Board Member - ​ If you are undetermined as to whether you would like to serve on the SEPO Board, please ask yourself the following: ​ Do you have great ideas about how your community can be managed more efficiently? Would you like to become more involved in your HOA’s daily operations? Do you have the time, dedication, and enthusiasm to regularly volunteer your skills for the benefit of your community? If so, then you’re a perfect Candidate to run for a seat on the SEPO Board of Directors. If you’re still on the fence about whether or not to run, here are three reasons you should take the leap and “Become a SEPO Board member”. You’ll help to protect your investment. Board members are tasked with making important decisions on behalf of the homeowners’ association. These decisions have a major impact on the future of the community. You’ll make your community a nicer place to live. In addition to administrative and operational tasks board members can act to enrich community life through events and activities offered to the residents. You’ll bring valuable skills to the table. Your life skills and interests may be a good fit for the Board. Social skills, hobbies and training you have received all may be used in your role as a Board member to benefit the community. Running for a seat on your Board of Directors is a major decision. Before making a commitment, attend a few Board meetings to get a sense of how they operate. Reach out to current or past Board members and ask about their experiences and what they have learned. Also from them you can get a run-down of what would be expected of you in your new role. If occupying a seat on the SEPO Board of Directors sounds like a fun and challenging opportunity, please reach out to the Nominating Committee and they will assist you with the steps to take to get started.

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. 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 ​ Sent 2021-05-18: Library - I will be gone from Sunshine from May 22 – early September. There will be nobody to process gift books.

Sent 01-27-19: Questionable CPL solicitation - I should have changed the 'subject line' before sending out Tiffany's info concerning the the three CPL solicitors. Those three guys had nothing to do with the Mr. Fit-It List. I received the below from Pat Harvey. Please read it carefully as it contains some very useful information. Thanks Pat Beth Parrish *******************************************************************************************I I have no doubt that Tiffany is correct about the 3 guys from CPL, but the subject of the e-mail that was sent to you refereed to the Mr. Fix It List. Those 3 guys had nothing to do with the Mr Fix It List. There are lots of other companies that do not engage in the questionable sales activities that apparently happened yesterday. The Mr. Fix It List does refer users to two different web sites to check the real facts of electricity usage and costs. Costs can be found at: http://powertochoose.org/ which is a web site provided by the Texas Public Utilities Commission.

Laurel Becker Sent 01-26-19: Re: Updates to the Mr. Fix It List - There was a group of three guys from CPL Power soliciting for electricity contracts. The terms they were offering at 8.1 cents per kilowatt and being all inclusive is false. Please, if anyone signed up, check the electricity facts label before your three business days are up to cancel. It will actually be 13.1 cents to 15.1 cents per kilowatt. They have been reported and I was told they would be terminated. Tiffany Sent 01-26-19: Updates to the Mr. Fix It List - There is a newly updated Mr. Fix It List available (January 26, 2019 version).

Questions: call Warren Hertel 314 719 6532 Sent 01-23-19: Women's Club By-Laws - I try not to tell you about all of the changes that are being made to the Web site. But trust me, there's been lots of them. This one is kind of a big one. I have added a page to house the Women's Club By-Laws. You can find them by clicking on the By-Laws 'button' under Women's Club Rules (www.sunshinecountryclub.com/sepo-laws ).

Any questions call John Chajec at 708-280-8940 Sent 01-21-19: PROPOSED COVENANT CHANGE CLARIFICATION - It was brought to my attention that the wording of the proposed assessment covenant change is confusing. This is the current covenant which I believe was created when the SEPO was established. The $300.00 payable $25.00 per month was the original maintenance fee when SEPO was established. Current covenant: SECTION 4.3 ANNUAL ASSESSMENT Annual assessment shall be $300.00 payable $25.00 per month . The annual assessment may be increased each year by not more than $45.00 per year. Any such possible increases in assessments shall be non-cumulative. In any year following a year when there has been no increase, the assessment may not be increased by more than $45.00. The proposed covenant which you have the opportunity to vote on: Annual Assessment and annual maintenance fee are the same thing in my mind. The word "assessment" should have been used were "maintenance fees" are inserted. Sorry.about the confusion. Proposed Covenant: Covenant SECTION 4.3 ANNUAL ASSESSMENT Annual assessment shall be no more than 5% of annual maintenance fees payable per month or yearly. The annual assessment may be increased each year by not more than 5% of annual maintenance fees per year.

It has come to my attention that at least one member of the Board is not in agreement that a more secure gate would be beneficial. That person asked me to send out this e-mail.

Beth Parrish ​ Sent 01-12-19: Various - After attending the information meeting on Tuesday, January 8/19, I was reminded why I have quit going over the last few years. But first, I want to thank the Board members for their time, effort and dedication that they freely give, to execute their positions for our community. As well as becoming more transparent with information to our residents, which I hope increases and continues. Being a Board member is a thankless job, that can cause animosity between fellow residents. But, it doesn't have to be that way if we remember that our Board members are elected by the residents that "choose" to vote. They may make decisions that we don't necessarily agree with, but they are doing so by following the rules and bylaws set before them. It may be beneficial for all residents to read and understand the bylaws that we have within our community. We all have our own ideas and opinions, which we are entitled to, but we still need to be respectful when treating and speaking to others. "Treat others as you would like to be treated"....hopefully that is with RESPECT!!

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.

Well - Those activities don't just 'come out of the blue' and magically happen. Each year we hold a 'planning' session, led by the current WC Activities Director. At this meeting, attendees are given the opportunity to present idea(s) for activities for the upcoming season. Then we discuss pros & cons of these ideas and decide what goes into the calendar. This list of WC proposed events must be presented to the SEPO Board for their approval by the next Board of Directors meeting on Mar 9, 2020. In order to meet this deadline, the planning session is scheduled for March 3rd at 10 AM in the Card Room. This is an open invitation for you to get your ideas out there on the table. And for those of you who are new, it's a great way to meet new residents and learn how this all works behind the scenes. Also - At this meeting it is customary to try and determine who would be willing to chair or work on the committees of these activites or have attendees put forth name(s) of people they think/know would be willing to chair or work on them. Never fear - There are WC Committee Guidelines to assist all Chairperson(s) and Committe members with what needs to be done to plan and carry out an event. These guidelines are availabe in the WC file drawer outside the SEPO Office and also on the Web site HERE . So please come and be heard. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
