Board Update: Residents safe after house fire, Tuesday’s food truck, Clubhouse rental cleaning reminder

Eagle Nest residents,

Here’s a look at neighborhood news for the week of September 14:


RESIDENTS SAFE AFTER FIRE DAMAGES HOME: The Board is sad to report the home of longtime Eagle Nest residents Richard and Sheila Jackson, 8419 Sandpiper Court, was extensively damage by fire last week. The blaze started in the garage and extensively damaged the two-story structure. Thankfully, neither Richard nor Sheila (or their pet) was hurt, but you can imagine the emotional strain of such a catastrophe.

To help cover costs until the Jacksons’ insurance company steps in, the Board has set up a Go Fund Me page: Click here to donate. The hope is Eagle Nest residents will rally to support the Jacksons so they can enjoy a few meals, buy clothes, personal items, etc. Every dollar counts in a stressful time like this, so no donation is too small. Thank you in advance for your support and generosity.

UNION JACK COMING TUESDAY! Summer may be over, but our parade of food trucks at Clubhouse continues for your convenience. Who’s coming when:

  • September 15: Union Jack Pub and Grub (5-8 p.m.). Renowned Broad Ripple favorite @UnionJackPub returns with their legendary tenderloins, pretzel bread sticks and queso, fish and chips, mac and cheese and more.

More food truck dates:

  • September 23: Jet's Pizza (5-7 p.m.)
  • September 29: Chef TLC (5-8 p.m.)

As always, please observe CDC guidelines on social distancing and use of masks, and be careful entering and leaving the Clubhouse parking lot. Also, the Board asks residents to park in the back lot to keep traffic pathways clear. Thank you!


A WORD (OR TWO) ABOUT CLUBHOUSE RENTALS: As we all know, COVID-19 has changed nearly aspect of life today. Heightened awareness and attention to maintaining the health and safety at facilities has never been more important, and that includes our neighborhood Clubhouse.

More information: Click here for a virtual tour. Click here for rental details.

The Board reminds all renters that the facility must be completely clean and disinfected after your event or risk the loss of part or all your deposit. This has always been Association policy, but current health concerns due to the pandemic make this contract requirement non-negotiable – no exceptions. Unfortunately, several renters this year lost their deposit because the facility wasn’t cleaned properly. Please respect our facility and ensure everything on the rental checklist is completed before returning the keys. Also, each person must sign a waiver form before attending your event. Thank you for your cooperation.

POPSICLES ON THE PATIO A HIT: Dozens of kids and adults stopped by the pool on Labor Day to enjoy free popsicles, courtesy of the Board. It was great to meet so many new neighbors and get reacquainted with longtime residents, too. Who knew the adult popsicle versions would be so popular! Check the Events tab on the blog for our next social activities.

In other news of note …

DONATE BLOOD, GET FREE COVID-19 ANTIBODY TEST: Versiti, the primary blood provider for area blood banks, is hosting a blood drive from 8 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 19, at the Binford Farmers Market. Click Here to Register

The SARS CoV-2 antibody test, aka COVID-19 Antibody Test (CAT), will now be performed on all blood donations as part of the standard testing. Please note:
  • Donors must wear a mask and bring photo ID.
  • Appointments highly recommended, but walk-ins available time permitting.
  • Versiti will enforce social distancing, increased sanitation procedures and pre-screening of all donors. Only healthy donors encouraged to participate.

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, 05-22-23: Pool opening, tags in mail; annual Garage Sale; dues deadline June 1; Annual Meeting and Board Election June 15

Image
Summer unofficially begins Memorial Day weekend, and that means our Pool facility will be opening for the season. Our main and wading pools have been power-washed and filled, and our guard team will be working to balance the chemicals this week. Weather permitting, we are targeting noon Sunday for opening, but watch the Eagle Nest blog and our Facebook page for the official day and time. For 2023, hours of operation will be noon to 8 p.m. daily. We have a great lifeguard team in place again this year. Their No. 1 charge? Safety. When it comes to rules, what our guard staff says goes. No exceptions. Violators will be ejected and referred to the Board for further action. Bottomline: This is a family-oriented neighborhood facility, not a public pool playhouse, and want to keep it enjoyable for all. If you paid your dues by May 12, watch U.S. mail this week for your pool tags and a copy of the rules. If you paid after that, your tags may be delayed as we process those who paid on time firs

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
