Family Fun Night of s'mores Friday, Oct. 28! Also coming: chili cookoff, and cookies with Santa!


Family Fun Night with S’mores, Friday, Oct. 28, at the Clubhouse

Friday, Oct. 28, looks like a perfect fall night, so the Social Committee is hosting a Family Fun Night of s’mores for kids at the Clubhouse! That’s right, from 6 to 8 p.m. our little Eagle Nesters can make and toast their own chocolate and marshmallow treats (and adults can have a seasonal beer to help pass the time). Just bring a chair and enjoy a relaxing – and tasty – evening in the parking lot with other residents. Want to help? Contact Social Chair Brigette Stephens at bestephens4@gmail.com.

More social events are coming to the Clubhouse, too:

Nov. 6: Chili Cookoff and Colts Watch Party. Bring a crockpot of your best chili, win a gift card based on resident votes. Tastings begin at noon, voting starts at 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 6. Don’t want to enter? Don’t worry – just stop by for free samples of homecooked goodness, cast your vote and watch the Colts-Patriots game (chili event ends at halftime). Condiments like crackers, onions, and shredded cheese will be provided, along with lemonade and seasonal beers (We buried the lead, right?) See you there!

Dec. 3: Cookies, Donuts and Coffee (with Baileys) with Santa. Yep, the holidays will be here before you know it (Christmas is less than two months away!), so we’re excited to announce the jolly old guy is coming to our Clubhouse on Saturday, Dec. 3. This will be the perfect holiday card photo opportunity! The timing of Santa’s afternoon arrival is still in the works, but while we wait families are invited to come decorate holiday cookies, snack on donuts and enjoy hot chocolate and coffee (with Baileys for adults). Watch the blog for more information in the weeks ahead. Save the date and plan to join us!

Halloween hours and reminders

As Monday, Oct. 31, approaches, a few Halloween reminders for residents:
  • Traditional observance hours are 6 to 8 p.m., as announced by the City of Indianapolis.
  • The Board has no control over trick or treaters who ring bells before or after those hours – that’s in the hands of parents and unaccompanied children we hope respect our privacy (and lawns) outside those hours.
  • Please use caution when driving through the neighborhood, as excited kids are known to unexpectedly dart across streets – especially when word gets out about houses giving out full-size candy bars!
  • If you experience or witness vandalism, please call 911 immediately. As the adage goes, “If you see something, say something.”
Clubhouse rental dates filling up fast

If you’re looking to host a holiday party at our popular Clubhouse, contact facility manager Kelly Dentler asap, as only two weekend dates remain open the rest of this year. They are Nov. 26 and 27.

Good news is, all weekdays Monday through Friday are open – and at half the price! New Year’s Eve also is available, but probably not for long so if interested contact Kelly asap. Click here to see our Clubhouse rental rates and rules.

Wanted: Crime Watch Coordinator

Are you interested in keeping Eagle Nest a safe and secure place to live? Have a desire to be a liaison with local law enforcement and public safety officials on behalf of the neighborhood? Are you a people person who enjoys engaging with residents? We have a role for you! The Board is looking for a Crime Watch Coordinator to pick up where longtime resident and former coordinator Carolyn Goldenetz left off.

We’re on the hunt for someone who can organize and schedule quarterly Crime Watch meetings (attendance perks include free food and prizes!); arrange guest speakers and presentations on safety; develop resources about safety and security to share with residents; and provide neighborhood updates, as needed. We’re open to new ideas, too. Contact any Board member to apply. Let’s talk!

One more thing …
Storm drains: Now that fall is here, so are those rainy days. Do your neighbors a favor and keep the gutter drains clear of leaves and other debris so we avoid flash flooding in the streets.

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.
