See this little gem? It’s the key to your summer Pool fun in Eagle Nest! If you don’t have your Pool gate access fob (and your dues are paid, with check cleared as of May 28), stop by the Pool from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, May 31, and pick yours up. Co-Pool Manager Andrew Taylor will be onsite to distribute them. Please bring your ID with Eagle Nest address and sign our replacement/damage equipment agreement and you’ll be all set. (Sorry, only one fob per lot.) If you lost yours, be advised there is a replacement fee. Reminder: The deadline for annual dues is Sunday, May 31. You can drop your check for $570 in our secure Clubhouse mailbox, 8075 Teel Way, or have them postmarked by May 31 to avoid late fees. Please be aware it takes a few days to process your dues and activate your fob, so Pool access isn’t instant. We realize that’s an inconvenience, but invoices were mailed in February and we are not positioned to handle a crush of last-minute payments in real-time. Questions? Contac...

Memorial Day is the traditional unofficial start of summer — and that means a lot of upcoming activities in Eagle Nest! A quick rundown of what to expect: Pool opening: The good news? The Pool will be open daily noon to 8 p.m., starting Memorial Day, Monday, May 25. Popsicles and adult beverages will be available for kids and adults, respectively, that first day. P lease familiarize yourself with our  Pool rules here . Questions? Contact new Co-Pool Managers Ken Burns (daily operations and facility maintenance) or Andrew Taylor (administration and Pool fobs).  The bad news? Our heater is on the fritz, so the water will be chilly. Our team is seeking bids for a replacement unit, but it may take several weeks before we figure out next steps. Pray for warmer weather soon! Pool fobs: All residents must have an active pool fob to access the Pool. If you still have your fob from last year and your dues are paid (and cleared our bank), your fob should work on Monday. After that, ...

It starts with people who care. In churches, schools, and neighborhoods every day, volunteers are those who make things happen. They’re the people who show up, speak up, and step in — not because they have to, but because they care. Eagle Nest is no different. Behind the scenes, your Board of Directors is made up of folks just like you — people motivated to make a difference in the place they call home. How to run for the Board: At the June 25 Annual Meeting and Board Election, you have the chance to fill one of four seats opening on the Board due to expiring terms. If you are interested in placing your name on the ballot, simply send your bio, a headshot, and a short summary of your “platform” – what you would like to focus on – to Board President Scott Thien at scottthien@comcast.net . Your information will be shared on our blog and Facebook page so residents can consider your candidacy. But what do Board members do (Hint: It’s more than meetings): Serving on the Eagle Nest Board m...

Alert to all yoga class participants: Due to a personal commitment, yoga instructor Deby Wilson will NOT teach class Wednesday, April 29. The next class will be Wednesday, May 6, at the usua l time 6:30 p.m. After that, given warmer weather and fuller schedules on the horizon, Deby will lead yoga classes on May 13 and May 20, then take a break for summer. We will miss Deby and her exercise expertise but wish her all the best this summer. As fall approaches, watch the blog and Facebook for details on when classes will resume. Until then, lean into Deby's instruction, exercise on your own and stay limber!

City crews this week patched more than 60 Eagle Nest potholes on our main east-west street, including the minefields at the Hague Road entrance and at the three-way stop at Tanager Lane and Warbler Way. This follows the Board’s efforts to alert our two City-County Council members and the Mayor’s Action Center. Councilor Nick Roberts answered our call and said he’s placed Tanager on his priority list for a complete repaving. This week’s patching didn’t go that far, but it is a big step to addressing two of our biggest street-crater trouble spots. We’ll keep working with Roberts and others on the longer-term solution and let you know what we learn. In the meantime, we’re glad to see one other bit of progress, the replacement of a streetlight on Teel Way just north of 75 th Street. The top of the streetlight was knocked completely off somehow — we were told a tree-trimming crew may have done it — and we pursued AES for weeks trying to get a replacement. AES put in the new light this week...

Now that spring has sprung in Eagle Nest, summer isn’t far behind – barely two months away! With that, the Board has a few updates and event announcements to pass along: Package delivery alert: Suspicious vehicles trolling streets If you order from Amazon or other delivery sites, take note: Residents along Warbler Way recently reported suspicious vehicles (shown) driving slowly along the street, possibly looking for packages. One vehicle even tailed a U.S. Postal Service truck for blocks as it made its deliveries one day. If you expect a package to be delivered while you are away or at work, the Board suggests you ask a neighbor to grab the package for you or time your deliveries for when you are home. As always, if you see something suspicious, call 911. 200 books dumped at Clubhouse The Board appreciates donations to our Free Little Library, but at the risk of sounding ungrateful we don’t need 200 books (shown at right). On April 6, that’s what an anonymous donor dumped on our Clubho...
