Due to unforeseen circumstances, the movie night at the clubhouse set for Thursday, July 26, has been postponed.  Jet's pizza will be at the clubhouse for two more weeks, so take advantage!! Remember that the pool is open late for Family Fun Night on Thursdays. Pickle ball lessons these past two weeks have been successful!! Under the tutelage of Pam and Joe Meadors and Brett Farrell, many residents have learned the basics of this fun game on our newly refurbished tennis courts.  We will continue to meet on Tuesday nights at 7 p.m. so residents can pick up games and improve their skills.  Come join us! submitted by Alice Miley

 If any resident wants some pointers on how to play pickle ball, come to the renovated courts on Tuesday, July 17, and/or July 24 at 7 p.m.  Long time resident and experienced pickle ball player, Pam Meadors will offer basic instruction.  There has been talk about getting a neighborhood league started maybe one or two nights a week after we all become proficient!

The condition of the courts might have had something to do with that, of course. Thanks to the research of tennis maven and former President Harry Reibe, along with help from

Fifteen Eagle Nest kids and their parents celebrated the 4th of July early on Family Fun Night on June 28. With decorated bicycles, strollers and wagons, these patriotic residents  paraded down Teel Way and around Goldfinch Circle and back to the Clubhouse. Afterward, more than 35 kids and adults enjoyed a hot dog dinner in the Clubhouse and out of the oppressive heat. Thanks to Sharon Reed, Helen Galvin, Brian and Brandy Schneider, and Tells Guzman for helping set up and clean up the dinner. Great community fun was had by all! Submitted by Alice Miley
