During the past week, two young men in their late teens or early 20s were seen along Tanager, Warbler and Bittern going door-to-door soliciting money for their "soccer team fundraiser." It's possible they were elsewhere in the neighborhood and may have other companions. While such efforts aren't uncommon this time of year, neighbors who interacted with the pair could tell they were anything but soccer players. They weren't wearing any official gear, didn't offer any club affiliation or team, were dressed in beat up clothes, had large tattoos on their forearms (not that anything is wrong with that; simply noted for descriptive purposes) and looked a bit rough. One young man had a medium build with blond hair and was carrying a small leather binder, the other was thinner and had dark hair. Both were uneasy and defensive when questioned. Based on the pair's body language and the way they approached each house, a neighbor who watched the pair make their wa

As summer winds down, so too will activity at the Eagle Nest Pool. Following are revised hours for the rest of this year's swimming season: > Sunday, Aug. 17 through Sunday Aug. 24: normal operating hours. > Monday, Aug. 25 through Friday, Aug. 29: 4 to 8 p.m. only > Saturday, Aug. 30 through Monday, Sept. 1 (Labor Day): regular operating hours. > The Pool officially closes for the year on Tuesday, Sept. 2. Also, please exercise caution when walking in the newly remodeled Pool bathrooms. The floors can get slick when wet, so please no running and watch your step. The Board is working to find non-slick mats to put down until our contractor can improve the floor texturing, probably sometime after Labor Day. Also, please do not let children congregate in the bathroom. The (working!) showers and handicapped benches are not toys, so the Board asks parents to help ensure our facilities are respected and used properly. If you see something out of order, please let

The Eagle Nest Board would like to thank everyone who attended and contributed to last Sunday's Annual Pool Party at the Clubhouse. The weather wasn't the greatest, but that didn't dampen the spirits of those who turned out for neighborhood camaraderie, kids games, swimming and lots of good food. Special thanks go out to Clubhouse Manager Kelly Wright, Pool Manager Susan Anderson and her fantastic lifeguard staff and our Social Committee for coordinating everything. It takes a lot of behind-the-scenes effort and planning to pull off an event like this, yet all went down without a hitch. More than a dozen neighbors contributed side dishes -- ranging from pastas to fruit salads to delicious deserts -- to accompany the 225 pieces of chicken and eight cases of beverages provided by the Board. Nearly everything was gone by the end of the event, which drew about 200 people throughout the afternoon. New bathrooms debut: Sunday also was the neighborhood's first opportuni

This year's Eagle Nest Annual Pool Party has special significance since it will be residents' first opportunity to see the remodeled bathrooms and all of the improvements on the main floor of the clubhouse.  The pool party will be Sunday, Aug. 11, from 1-4 p.m.  The Social Committee will provide  fried chicken and drinks.  We ask that residents bring a side dish to share.  Also, the lifeguards will be having games and prizes in the pool area. Come join the fun and celebrate the first major improvements made to the clubhouse in a long time! submitted by Alice Miley
