The volunteer editorial board is responsible for the content, editing and advertising of the Tee Pee Topics. Feedback and suggestions are welcome.
Paper copies of the Tee Pee Topics may be picked up on the first of the month from the Tee Pee Topics box by the mailboxes. Many people receive the Tee Pee Topics electronically, which helps lower the printing costs. Each resident is the eyes and ears of Seminole Estates.
Pancake Breakfast
On the fourth Saturday of each month (except November and December) there was a pancake breakfast prepared by the men of the park. They were excellent cooks and offered pancakes, French toast, hash browns, ham or sausage, and eggs cooked to order. It was an all you can eat for a nominal charge. SERA Social members paid less, but guests were always welcome for a small additional coast. Drop-ins were welcome.
The pancake breakfasts were discontinued in March 2020 due to lack of participation.
