Fellow residents, After a four-day closure to correct a chemical imbalance, the Eagle Nest Pool has reopened and is back in business for the rest of the summer swim season! That's welcome news, too, given temperatures are expected to hit the 90s this weekend. We understand the closing may have been inconvenient for some, but balancing chlorine and stabilizer and other chemicals for a 200,000-gallon, 40-year-old facility such as ours can be a little tricky, especially when you have aging filtering systems and piping. And when the Marion County Health Department says it's time to close and stabilize the water, well, you don't have a choice. Sure, we could have spent a day dumping more chemicals into the water in hopes things would rebalance, but there was no guarantee that would have worked. And that would have meant an even longer closure, so we decided to drain the facility -- one of the largest, private neighborhood pools in the city, by the way -- and start from s

  Because of the heat, we will have our 4th of July picnic in the clubhouse after the parade.  Meet at the clubhouse at 6 p.m. to decorate your bike, trike, stroller or wagon.  We'll have a short parade, and then have our traditional 4th of July hot dog dinner in the clubhouse at 6:30.  ENPOA is providing hot dogs, chips, and drinks, but we're counting on the residents to bring side dishes and desserts.  Remember that Jet's Pizza will not be here tonight, so enjoy the community of Eagle Nest in the cool clubhouse! submitted by Alice Miley

Dear residents, In preparation for the upcoming summer swim season and per requirements of the Marion County Health Department, our Pool is closed until further notice to correct a chemical imbalance in the water. Instead of simply dumping more chemicals into the water in hopes things will level off, we decided to pursue the best corrective and recommended action: partially drain and refill the pool during what is expected to be inclement weather in the early part of this week. Our goal is to reopen before the hot temperatures arrive later this week, but it’s up to the Health Department when we can reopen. They will need to conduct a water quality first. In short, it’s necessary preventative maintenance to help ensure the safest swimming experience possible. Watch the blog and our Facebook page for updates on reopening. Thank you for your patience and understanding.  The Eagle Nest Board

Eagle Nest will continue its tradition of celebrating the Fourth of July at our Thursday Family Night at the pool when the pool is open later for residents.  We will gather at 6 p.m. on Thursday, June 28 , at the front of the clubhouse to decorate bikes, wagons, and strollers with patriotic streamers. We'll have a short parade down Teel Way, and then proceed to the pool area where ENPOA will provide hot dogs and buns, chips, and drinks for a 4th picnic at 6:30 p.m.   Residents are asked to provide any kind of side dish.  This will be the only Thursday this summer that Jet's Pizza will NOT be here. Come and eat some hot dogs, and celebrate our great country! submitted by Alice Miley

Fellow residents, A reminder that the Annual Meeting and Board Election is 6:30 p.m. June 27 at the Clubhouse. All residents in good standing are welcome to attend and cast ballots. Please watch the mail for your official ballot to vote for four Directors. Write-in candidates are welcome, but all nominees must be residents in good standing and present at the meeting to accept their nomination. In addition to the four current Board members seeking re-election, resident Brian Schneider has declared his candidacy, too.  Following is his bio for consideration: “My name is Brian Schneider and my wife, Brandy, and I have lived in Eagle Nest for 17 years with our two children, Mark and Sarah, ages 18 and 16. We have enjoyed participating in the many activities through the years and being able to meet other neighbors that we might not otherwise see. I also enjoy walking the neighborhood most evenings during warm months. I have worked for the City of Indianapolis and Marion County for t
