A message from the Dixon family to those who have contributed to our neighborhood GoFundMe campaign: “We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible support our family has received after the devastating fire that destroyed our home (on Tanager Lane). In a matter of moments we lost our house, two cars, and our two beloved dachshunds, and we are still trying to process it all. During such a heartbreaking time, the kindness and generosity from our friends, neighbors, and community has meant more to us than words can express. Thank you to everyone who donated, shared the GoFundMe link , sent messages, and offered help in so many ways. Your compassion is helping us begin the long process of rebuilding our lives. A special thank you to Eagle Nest HOA Board of Directors and President Scott Thien, who organized the fundraiser and rallied the community around us.

Imagine waking up to the smell of smoke. And within hours, your house is burned beyond repair, nearly everything you own destroyed. That's what happened to the Dixon family at 7826 Tanager Lane. On Saturday morning, Feb. 21, a fire started in the garage and quickly spread throughout the home. Thankfully, John and Elizabeth escaped without injury but with only the clothes on their backs. Two of their four dogs didn't survive. The two-story home: likely a total loss. Now, the Eagle Nest Board hopes residents will help these neighbors in great need.

In the best Eagle Nest tradition, residents pitched in to help each other as this week's storm dropped more than 11.1 inches of snow on the city -- the largest snowfall in more than 10 years. Unfortunately, many residents were trapped inside due to the bitter cold, snow-covered driveways and horrid road conditions after the storm. That’s why the Board is looking to put together a list of volunteers to assist seniors or others with challenges who may be shut in by this week's weather. We’re looking for representatives for each street to reach out with a friendly knock on the door or a phone call to ensure all is well with their neighbors. Or maybe even pick up an extra item or two at the store when you’re out. New! Eagle Nest Wellness Team It’s called the Eagle Nest Wellness Team. Want in?
