As previously mentioned in our last neighborhood email blast and on the Eagle Nest blog, our annual FREE swim lessons – a longtime neighborhood tradition – will be Monday through Friday, July 20-24, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Little Eagle Nesters (age 3+) are welcome to attend one or all five sessions. The sessions will include basic instruction and water safety, perfect for first-timers and novice young swimmers. Signup sheets are posted on the windows under the Clubhouse deck. Spots are limited, and enrollment is first-come, first-served so don’t wait to sign up. Thanks to our awesome lifeguard team for helping teach this important life skill to the next generation! (P.S.: Parents must stay for the entire session, as this is not a drop-and-go event. And don’t forget your Pool fob!)

 

Proposed neighborhood amendment in mailboxes now! Finally! After more than a year of preparation, listening to resident feedback and working with our legal counsel, we distributed important updates to the neighborhood’s governing documents. On Sunday, July 12, all lot owners received in their mailbox the Board’s proposed amendment revision for review and – we hope – your approval. The proposal, prepared by our legal counsel KSN, seeks to update our controlling documents to address rental properties, street parking, commercial vehicles, and trash carts. Your envelope will contain a cover letter, a copy of the proposed revisions, and a proxy form to cast your vote. Your packet also includes a Fine Policy and Fee Schedule approved by the Board at the June Board meeting. Simply mark YES or NO for each of the proposed covenant revisions presented and return your ballot in one of the following ways: Drop in the Association's secure mailbox at 8075 Teel Way. Email a scanned/signed c...

This just in: Join us for our U.S. World Cup Soccer Watch Party, 8-10 p.m. Monday, July 6, at the Clubhouse. (Doors open at 7:30 p.m.).

So here you go -- and what better way than to support our U.S. team just days after our nation's 250th birthday! We'll have free beer for adults and light snacks for everyone. Residents are welcome to bring a potluck of their favorite appetizers, too! Join us anytime and come and go as you please. Stay for a half or the whole game! GO USA!

As operators of one of the largest private neighborhood pools on the Northeastside, the Eagle Nest Board was saddened to hear about the recent closure of nearby Sahm Aquatic Center and Pool due to lack of staff. “Sahm is one of the largest pools in the city and requires more staff to safely operate than any other pool,” the park wrote recently in a Facebook post . “That’s a challenge every year, however this season it was impossible due to the park manager role being vacant for over a year despite multiple offers and rounds of interviews for the position. The Park Manager role is currently posted, and we are actively recruiting for it.” Until the pool reopens patrons have been directed to use the pool at Broad Ripple Park this summer – 7 miles away. What does that mean for Eagle Nest? The Board reminds residents that an active pool fob is the only way to access our facility – no exceptions. For liability reasons, our lifeguards have been instructed to deny entry to anyone witho...
