That's right -- free shaved ice treats for all the kids (OK, adults, too) during our Annual Summer Party and Pitch-in on Sunday at the Clubhouse. We'll also have free fried chicken and beverages provided by the Board, and residents are encouraged to contribute a side dish or dessert. The fun starts at noon and ends at 2 p.m. Can't stay for the food? No worries, grab a Kona Ice treat to go, compliments of the Board. (Please show your Pool fob to the truck operator as proof of residency.) Please caution entering and leaving the Clubhouse parking lot as little Eagle Nesters may be running to and from the truck. As the summer winds down and kids go back to school, our summer party tradition is a great opportunity to catch up with your neighbors and unite in celebrating the good life in the Nest!

Eagle Nest is joining other neighborhoods for ice cream on Tuesday from 6 to 8:30 p.m. for National Night Out, the annual community-building campaign. The Aug. 5 event, usually held on the first Tuesday in August, promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood connections. The local gathering is sponsored by Binford Redevelopment and Growth (BRAG) at the Scoop Shack, 7002 Lake Plaza (71st and Binford). Scoop Shack is donating 20 percent of its sales during the event to support the IMPD substation at 75th and Shadeland. IMPD North District leadership and officers will be on hand to visit with neighbors and offer crime prevention ideas and safety materials, including gun locks. "This is a good chance to get out, meet our neighbors and join this effort to build community spirit," said Scott Thien, President of the Eagle Nest Property Owners Association and a 20-year resident of the development. "And ice cream in August is never a bad idea." Eagle Nest has a...

As signaled on our Facebook page earlier this week, the dark green water in our Pool is being treated with an algaecide, and a new pump motor installed on Wednesday should help improve circulation and water clarity. The water should be cleared within a day or two as the chemicals rebalance. Fingers crossed we avoid debris from stormy weather, as that can affect our water quality. In the meantime, residents should know the water in the main Pool is safe for swimming. It is not a health issue — more like swimming in any Indiana lake. It’s worth noting that despite the water’s unusual color, our main Pool has passed every weekly water test since opening Memorial Day weekend. The baby wading pool, however, is another matter. Aging underground plumbing combined with unreliable mechanicals often results in closure, forcing our team to drain, refill and rebalance the chemicals. Storm debris and occasional visits by ducks don’t help matters, either. Another maintenance challenge is the size of...

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 directory's conversion from paper to digital – will host a series of free hands-on classes where residents to get help downloading the app, setting up credentials, learning how edit lot information and much more. Here are the dates and times for the 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.

"The male driver was found passed out in the car and fled when approached," Holmes told an Eagle Nest Board member. "After a short pursuit, the damaged vehicle came to a stop and the driver surrendered. He was suspected to be intoxicated and linked to a pr...
