The opening weekend for the Eagle Nest pool was a success! Aside from a few minor mixups on pool tags (some residents forgot to indicate a specific number, while others were accidental casualties of outdated neighborhood records), dozens of homeowners and their families turned out Memorial Day weekend to swim. The weather was great, and the pool never looked better (thanks to a great job by pool manager Susan Anderson and her lifeguard crew!) A reminder, however, that every pool patron must have a pool tag to enter the pool area or swim. Your Eagle Nest board has instructed Susan Anderson and her crew to enforce this rule, without exception. Don't blame then if they turn you away because you don't have the required tag. Why so strict? Pool admittance has gotten a bit lax in recent years, and that invites unwanted patrons. Further, a fair chunk our neighborhood association dues goes toward the maintenance and staffing of the pool and clubhouse -- amenities intended solely

All residents are welcome to a free directory. That's right -- new and improved Eagle Nest resident directories are ready for pickup. They are free, too! In order to contain costs and save postage (and thereby avoid raising neighborhood dues!), directories will be distributed at the Eagle Nest clubhouse from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. this weekend (Saturday, June 2, and Sunday, June 3). Simply look for Secretary/Bookkeeper Chris'e Van Meter, who will be on hand to pass them out. After that, we'll be using block captains and volunteers to pass out the remaining directories (about one-third have been distributed so far). Every Eagle Nest property owner is eligible to receive one (one per household, please). Your board is proud of this year's end result, too: about 60 pages of info, organized by lot number and alphabetically, with detailed maps of each block and even thumbnail images of the birds used to name our streets. We've noted a few minor corrections for next ye

Meet your Eagle Nest Social Committee: co-directors Tina Kappes (left) and Angela Corkwell. Both residents answered the recent blog call for volunteers to create and coordinate neighborhood events for all homeowners to enjoy. To help them get off to a great start, the Eagle Nest board voted to approve $1,000 for food, supplies, promotional materials and other misc. needs. Both are full-time working mothers but are willing to carve out some time on behalf of the neighborhood. Tina has lived in Eagle Nest for four years, and Angela has been in the neighborhood for the past seven years. Among ideas they discussed and proposed at the May 16 ENPOA board meeting were a continuation of the Family Fun Day at the pool, an ice cream social, an Easter party and a Halloween event. But they can't do it alone. If you have time and ideas, they would love to hear from you. Contact Tina via email at Tina.Kappes@atlanticrelocation.com, and contact Angela at angelacorkwell@yahoo.com.

If you're an Eagle Nest resident reported to our lawyer for collection, you must provide documentation that your dues were paid before receiving your passes. Pool manager Susan Anderson says it&
