Board update: Dues letters in the mail, new format coming for directory, Beerfest and Chili Cookoff combined!

Annual dues invoices hitting the mail this week

The Eagle Nest Property Owners Association hopes everyone’s New Year is off to a happy and healthy start. Now that 2023 is well underway, it’s time to focus on expenses for the year ahead – and it starts with this year’s annual dues notice. The letter contains your total amount due, information about how to obtain your pool tags, and how a portion of your dues will be used for a long-term capital improvement.

Please watch your mailbox this week for your annual invoice. The deadline for payment is 5 p.m. May 1. If we have your email address on file, you will receive a weblink to pay electronically. If you choose this payment method and want pool tags, however, you still need to fill out the paper form mailed to you and drop it in the secure Clubhouse roadside mailbox by May 1.

Please make your check payable to ENPOA and mail it along with the completed Pool tags form on the back to Eagle Nest Property Owners Association, 8075 Teel Way, Indianapolis, IN 46256. Mailed correspondence must be postmarked by May 1 to avoid late fees. You also can drop your dues in the secure Clubhouse roadside mailbox by May 1. Dues received after that are considered late.

Questions about your balance due or don't receive an invoice by the end of the month? Contact Secretary/Admin Chris'e Van Meter at enpoa_sec@att.net.

Thank you in advance for your timely payment!

Board transitioning to app-based neighborhood directory

In an effort to protect residents’ personal information and reduce annual printing expenses, the Board voted at the January meeting to transition to an app-based neighborhood directory called DirectorySpot.

This mobile-friendly tool will be locked down to authorized users only – aka our current lot owners – and will provide basic resident contact information, lot account balances, event listings, neighborhood news and more.

The app also provides instant messaging capabilities, so the Board can send text and email alerts about safety issues, missing pets, solicitor warnings, and Pool and Clubhouse updates.

Some of you may have received an email invite to sign up, but please ignore that expired link as we were learning the platform during setup. More details about how to download the app and how to sign up will be mailed in the coming weeks.

Save the date: March 18 is new Beerfest and Chili Cookoff date!

That’s right, two of our most popular events – our Beerfest and Chili Cookoff -- are combined into one on Saturday, March 18. Bring a growler of your favorite local brew (OK, wine is permitted, if you insist) or a crockpot filled with your best chili recipe to share. Heck, bring both ... after all, it’s the weekend!

The top three best chili recipes based on resident taste-test votes will earn prizes, not to mention neighborhood bragging rights. Watch our blog site and Facebook page for an invite and registration link so we can plan accordingly. Get ready to drink up and/or and eat up! This is the rescheduled date after the original date was postponed last fall.

In the meantime, we welcome volunteers to help organize neighborhood social events. Interested? Contact Social Chair Brigette Stephens at bestephens4@gmail.com. 

On behalf of the Eagle Nest 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!

Image
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 ...

Image
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.
