Board Update: Neighborhood news sources, new food truck on Tuesday, Labor Day pool closure, free popsicles


Eagle Nest residents,

Here is what’s happening in the neighborhood the week of August 31:

OFFICIAL NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS: As many of you probably know, you can’t believe everything you read on the internet -- including social media and fake news. That’s why the Board reminds residents that official Eagle Nest news is only available on these three platforms:
  • Constant Contact: To join our weekly blast, send an email to enpoa_sec@att.net. (Residents only)
We know Next Door and Slack are popular, for example, but they aren’t official platforms for neighborhood business or updates, largely because we don’t want our communications overtaken by advertising, irrelevant content and comments from non-residents. The Board doesn’t monitor any other platforms, so if you have questions or concerns, please use our official communication avenues.


TUESDAY’S FOOD TRUCK: We’re excited to welcome a new player to our food truck rotation on Tuesday – Droopy’s Indy Eats, featuring a “state fair” menu like no other. Think 1/3-pound bison burgers, chicken parmigiana, Italian sausage subs, habanero BBQ fried chicken po’boys, Cubanos, breaded tenderloins, poutine fries, wings and more. There’s a kid’s menu, too. @DroopysBBQ has been a northside favorite for decades, and now they’re coming to Clubhouse. Get ready to smash some great food!

POOL HOURS REMINDER: A reminder that the last day of operation for the Eagle Nest Pool is Labor Day, Monday, Sept 7. We have adjusted weekday hours through then: 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday. Weekend hours remain the same: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday. Per tradition, the first half hour and last half hour of each day are reserved for adult swim.

POPSICLES ON THE PATIO: To bid farewell to another great Eagle Nest pool season, the Board is handing out free popsicles for kids and adults from noon to 3 p.m. Monday, Sept. 7. (While supplies last. Adults 21+ will like the alcohol-infused varieties, too.) We hope you enjoy this one last taste of summer. Can you believe fall is just a few weeks away?

In other Board news …

PIZZA GIVEAWAY SUCCESS: As you might expect, our free pizza giveaway was a huge success last Thursday, a great cap to our summer Family Fun Night series of events. All 50 pizzas compliments of the Board were gone in less than an hour, as well as an extra batch available for sale. We know residents appreciate the convenience of having Jet’s stop in our development, so we’re looking to schedule more visits in the weeks ahead. Watch the blog, Facebook and email for more dates.

That's it for now. As always, feel free to contact any Board member with questions, concerns or suggestions. Have a great week!

On behalf of the Board,

 

Scott Thien, 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.
