Board Update: Annual Party on August 1, more free swim lessons coming, Food Truck Tuesday, Signage Policy reminder

Hello Eagle Nest residents,

Here is the latest neighborhood news for the week of July 19:


SAVE THE DATE: SUNDAY, AUGUST 1, IS OUR ANNUAL EAGLE NEST PARTY!

It’s been a tough, weird year for everyone, and now that things are opening up it’s time to celebrate all the goodness of life in Eagle Nest. Join us starting at noon Sunday, August 1, for the Annual Eagle Nest Party at the Clubhouse.

The Board will provide free fried chicken, lemonade and bottled water, as well as a variety of Sun King beers for residents 21 and older. We also will have gift card drawings every half hour until 2 p.m., and we are working on some tasty free treats for the kids. Basically, a little something for everyone!

Per tradition, we ask residents to bring/donate a side salad, trays of assorted cheese and crackers or fruit, chips, dips, etc., for neighbors to enjoy. We’ll have tables set up inside the Clubhouse so you can eat, greet and meet fellow Eagle Nesters. Families are welcome to eat outside in the upper pool patio, too. The best part is the party is on rain or shine, so plan to join us!

MORE SWIM LESSONS COMING; ADJUSTED HOURS JULY 24

In last week’s Board Update poll, about two dozen families expressed interest in another round of free swim lessons for their little Eagle Nesters. Good news! You spoke, and our lifeguard staff listened. The team is looking at scheduling options and will announce details in the coming weeks.

Each weeklong session will consist of five half-hour classes in the morning before the Pool opens. Lessons are open to all residents in good standing, ages 3 and older. Participants must have a waiver signed by parents before the first class. Keep an eye on the blog, Facebook and email for signup details soon.

Also, a reminder that we have adjusted hours on July 24. The facility will be open from noon to 6 p.m., a temporary shift in operation to accommodate staffing. Outside of that, Pool hours are the same: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday.

Lastly, we have a growing pile of lost-and-found items (see video) at the Pool. If you’re missing Pool gear, please check the fence under the Clubhouse deck. All unclaimed items by August 1 will be donated to Goodwill Industries.

As always, if you have questions or concerns about the Pool, please contact Pool Manager Samantha Burns at samantha.burns51@gmail.com.

COMING FOR FOOD TRUCK TUESDAY: IT’S UNION JACK!

Don’t feel like cooking? Take a break Tuesday and head down to the Clubhouse for the Union Jack food truck! Yep, the renowned, decades-old Broad Ripple favorite offers pork tenderloins, Bavarian pretzel bread sticks and queso, fish and chips, mac and cheese and more.

Then on Thursday, don’t forget Jet’s Pizza is selling $5 personal pizzas (sausage, pepperoni or cheese) from 5-7 p.m. at the Clubhouse. (Cash only). Both are part of our weekly food truck rotation through September. Check the blog Events page to see who’s next and when!

IN OTHER NEWS:

SIGNAGE POLICY: A reminder that yard signs are not permitted without Board approval. We’ve seen a few pop up around the development in the wake of the June 18 hail storm, but unfortunately these do not qualify for display, per the Eagle Nest Signage Policy approved by the Board of Directors on January 31, 2020, and recorded with Marion County on February 23, 2021, as part of the Association's Declarations of Restrictions. Exception: Contractors signs are permitted only on the day of active repairs – generic promotion signs are not.

Unapproved signs will be removed. Have a sign you want to display? Submit a request -- just snap a photo of the sign and email it with a description (materials, size, duration of display) to RulesRestrictions@att.net. (That also is the email address to submit proposed plans for fences, decks, sheds and other exterior lot improvements.) Thanks for your help in keeping our neighborhood a commercial-free zone.

On behalf of the Board,
ScottThien, President

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.
