The Eagle Nest Board of Directors hopes everyone's summer is off to a great start. It's a busy time for families, that's for sure. And that's why we're reaching out. Due to staff conflicts, our Pool will have adjusted hours of 4-8 p.m. on Saturday, June 14. All of our lifeguards have personal commitments ranging from graduation parties to family vacations to college visits, so we hired a third-party lifeguard to cover the latter half of the day. The good news: We'll resume daily operating hours on Sunday, from noon to 8 p.m. Not to brag (OK, maybe a little), but not every area neighborhood pool is open daily. Even nearby Sahm Park Aquatics Center with its massive staff and city funding is closed one day a week. We apologize for the inconvenience but wanted to let you know in advance so you could adjust any plans accordingly. Oh, and if you have recommendations for certified lifeguards, please email Pool Manager Samantha Burns at samanthaburns51@gmail.com . We...

DirectorySpot classes will teach you how to use our neighborhood app As many know, two years ago the Board discontinued publishing the costly printed neighborhood directory in favor of a convenient mobile-based app called DirectorySpot to save money and improve the security of resident lot information. But we know not everyone has the same tolerance for technology, so Bookkeeper Chris’e Van Meter – the driving force behind the conversion from paper to digital – will host a series of free hands-on classes where residents to get help downloading the app, set up credentials, learn how edit lot information and much more. Here are the dates for DirectorySpot classes at the Clubhouse: Wednesday, July 16, 6:30 p.m. Monday, July 21, 6:30 p.m. Sunday, July 27, 6:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided. Questions before then? Contact Chris’e at enpoa_sec@att.net . A few reminders about those Pool access fobs Since the Pool opened, we’ve received several questions about the security fobs requ...

Summer is here, and that means it’s time for the Annual Eagle Nest Neighborhood Garage Sale – this Friday through Sunday, June 6-8 (rain or shine). Pick your day or stay open for business all three! Friday is the "preview" day, while Saturday and Sunday are the main sale days. Sale hours typically run 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., but residents are welcome to modify their hours of operation. It's the perfect chance to purge your closets, garage or attic (and maybe make a little bank in the process!). To help grab attention, our Social Committee will be putting signs at all three entrances. Residents are encouraged to put signs in their yards or balloons on the mailboxes to signal potential buyers, as well. (Please remember to take down your signs afterward so we keep the neighborhood tidy.) Feel free to share our Facebook post, too! Lastly, please use caution driving through the neighborhood this weekend, as we likely will see frequently stopping cars. Good luck with your sales, ever...

By resident John Strauss Overall crime is down lately, but the approach of summer means a return of street takeovers and illegal “spinning” events to Indianapolis, the IMPD North District commander Matt Thomas said. Last month, Thomas spoke at a community forum at nearby Mary Castle Elementary School, hosted by Nick Roberts , our District 4 representative on the Indianapolis City-County Council. He said violent crime is down 29.5 percent in the district. Property crimes were down 13 percent and overall crime decreased 15 percent. Trail Bridge Funding Approved Roberts, meanwhile, offered updates on road repair and local improvements, including the summer opening of the Nickel Plate Trail , the 10-mile link between Noblesville, Fishers and Indianapolis. He noted that the local trails system last month received a $35.5 million boost in funds to build pedestrian bridges over 82nd Street for the Nickel Plate Trail and over 86th Street for the Monon Trail. “I think having those bridges cou...

Breaking Eagle Nest news! Free Kona Ice treats are coming to the Clubhouse on Memorial Day! That’s right -- from 1 to 2 p.m. Monday in the Clubhouse front parking lot, the Board is treating every little Eagle Nester (OK, adults, too) to a free 8-ounce shaved ice cup. And here’s the fun part: You can pour on your favorite flavors from a wide range of self-serve choices. Simply show your Pool fob to get your freebie. (One cup per person, please.) We’ve invited Kona Ice to the Clubhouse before, and it was a huge hit among families. With temperatures expected near 70 degrees, this will be a tasty start to a fun afternoon at the Pool. Enjoy!
