Pool opens Memorial Day weekend, likely Saturday, so be sure to pay your dues

As the Memorial Day weekend approaches, many Eagle Nest residents probably have noticed a lot of activity around our Pool and Clubhouse lately. The spring rains have eased a bit, so the Board has been busy working to improve the grounds and facilities in anticipation of opening of our Pool for the season, likely on Saturday (weather permitting). Highlights of some of the changes you'll see:
  • Landscaping: We installed bushes and several trees near the Playground to create a more park-like setting, as well as provide shade to the equipment once the trees mature.
  • Picnic tables: Several picnic tables will be permanently installed near the front of the Clubhouse grounds, providing much-needed places for families to picnic or enjoy our Family Fun Nights (click here for a schedule).
  • Pool repairs: Work is underway to replace the concrete coping edges and decorative tile around the entire perimeter -- the first major Pool repair in about a decade -- followed by an acid wash and refill beginning Thursday. The coping had loosened in many spots, creating a safety hazard. The Pool officially opens Monday, Memorial Day, but Pool Manager Susan Anderson is working hard to open Saturday, weather permitting. The heater will be on, so even if it's chilly outside the water should be tolerable.
  • Sidewalk installation: The Board is close to finishing the bid process for installation of a sidewalk on the east side of the Clubhouse. The goal is to make Pool access easier for those with strollers or mobility issues. Work could begin next month.
Unfortunately, about 40 residents still haven't paid their annual dues, which means they won't be getting Pool tags until their accounts are paid. (They also lose this year's one-time $40 credit and incur a late fee). On June 1, all delinquent accounts will turned over to our attorney for collection, but we hope it won't come to that. We understand life gets in the way sometimes, so if you haven't paid your dues yet please drop them in the Eagle Nest Clubhouse mailbox at 8075 Teel Way as soon as possible.

Pool tags will be mailed this week to all residents who showed paid as of May 16; delayed processing and delivery will result for lots paid after that date. Questions about the status of your account? Contact Secretary/Bookkeeper Chris'e Van Meter at enpoa_sec@att.net. Questions about Pool tags? Contact Pool Manager Susan Anderson at saanderson16@yahoo.com.

As always, the Board welcomes suggestions and feedback on ways to ensure Eagle Nest remains a top-notch neighborhood, and we wish everyone a fantastic Memorial Day weekend!

Scott Thien, ENPOA President

Board Update: Curb Appeal Award winners, inaugural Card Night on Oct. 10, live music Oct. 21 at Clubhouse!

The Board hopes everyone’s fall season is off to a great start. October is shaping up to be a busy month in Eagle Nest – read on! 2023 Curb Appeal Awards winners announced! The Board is proud to recognize the following lots as winners of our 2023 Curb Appeal Awards, presented to Eagle Nest owners for their outstanding lot and house maintenance. First place (tied): 8031 Teel Way , above left, (Lot 52, Clayton Napier) and 8111 Warbler Way , above right (Lot 229, Todd and Rokeena Williams).  Both homes underwent extensive exterior renovations in recent years, including new roofing, new siding, new paint, wood repair, landscaping and more (all pre-approved by the Rules and Restrictions Committee, by the way). The owners could have saved considerable money by moving to a newer home in another neighborhood, but they chose to stay and invest in their properties. Clearly, the time and effort paid off, as both lots are shining examples of how to bring out the best in a property. Projects like t

Board update: Pool closing Labor Day, annual dog swim, Curb Appeal Awards, live music coming to Clubhouse!

Pool closes Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 4  All good things come to and end, as the saying goes, and that includes our 2023 Pool season. Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 4, is the last day of operation for our facility, with hours from noon to 8 p.m. It’s been a great summer of swimming, despite a few mechanical and staffing issues, so please be sure to thank Pool Manager Samantha Burns and her lifeguard staff for a job well done. For the most part, our facility was staffed and open daily the entire summer, unlike many of the city’s public pools – including nearby Sahm Park. We hope to see all our guards back next year, but if you know someone interested in joining the Eagle Nest Pool staff, please contact Samantha. In the meantime, enjoy these last days of swimming! Third Annual Eagle Nest Dog Swim on Sept. 4 Calling all Eagle Nest dog owners: Bring your furry friend to the Pool at 8:01 p.m. Monday, Sept. 4, for our third annual Eagle Nest Dog Swim. Residents are welcome to bring their pets (no

The winners of the 2023 Holiday Lights Contest are ...

Every year, judging for our annual Holiday Lights Contest gets tougher and tougher, and 2023 was no exception. This year’s challenge: sizing up more than 100 homes with lot decorations in a variety of colorful shapes, sizes and configurations, some traditional, some creative, all a colorful sign of season. Our independent judge from out-of-state (a former resident, no less!) struggled with all the choices, but after applying stringent judging criteria and washing it through our patented AI matrix, she came up with the following results: 1ST PLACE: 8250 Warbler Way (Tom and Cindy Corbett) Judge’s comment: "Last year's second-place finisher – and previous five-time winner – reclaims the top spot, though barely as competition was stiff all across the neighborhood. This is the property to beat every year.” 2ND PLACE: 8133 Bittern Lane (Kevin and Bronwyn Caddell) Judge's comment: "This display was simply a gem with an eye-popping mix of yard and landscape lighting.
