A heads-up to all Eagle Nest residents: Please check your mailboxes this weekend for your complimentary copy of the 2015-16 Eagle Nest Directory! The booklet is your official guide to our wonderful neighborhood, complete with street and lot maps, homeowner contact information and handy phone numbers. The directories will be delivered Saturday evening through Sunday afternoon to each resident's mailbox. Please be sure to remove your directory this weekend! A big thank you to Brian Schneider and Connie McKee for working hard to keep our directory up to date! If you don't receive a directory by Monday, please contact Secretary/Bookkeeper Chris'e Van Meter at enpoa_sec@att.net and we'll get a copy to you. The Board of Directors

By now, all Eagle Nest residents should have received their 96-gallon waste cart from Republic Services for use as your primary trash container. The Board kindly asks that residents place their carts out of sight from the front of your house. While the carts are convenient and efficient for trash collection, they are unsightly and should be properly stored in your garage or behind your home to remain compliance with our neighborhood controlling documents. The Board thanks you for your cooperation. Some fast facts about the carts from Republic: > Cart use should begin immediately. > One cart is assigned to each home and should remain on the property if you move. > If your cart is stolen, call the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department's non-emergency line at (317) 327-3811 and file a report. Then contact Republic at (317) 917-9300 or www.indywaste.com and provide the police report number. Republic will deliver a new cart. > Carts should be curbside by 7 a.m...

Fellow residents, The Eagle Nest Board of Directors is excited to announce the election of two new Directors during the Annual Meeting earlier this summer. Kim Isaak and Carolyn Goldenetz began their two-year terms in July, and their volunteer posts will end in 2017. Kim, a resident of Quail Court,  has lived in the neighborhood about two years and brings a newcomer's perspective to the Board. She served one month as an interim Director after the departure of Treasurer and Director Brad Bobich, who resigned due to professional and family demands. Kim will serve as ENPOA Treasurer and will work closely with Secretary/Bookkeeper Chris'e Van Meter. Kim can be reached at 413-9793 or kimi.isaak@gmail.com . Carolyn, a longtime resident of Warbler Way, is a familiar face in Eagle Nest. For nearly a decade she worked as the Clubhouse manager, booking reservations, coordinating upkeep of our common grounds and working with our pool managers. Carolyn is well-connected throughout th...

It's hard to believe that Labor Day is just a month away, and that means the Pool season will end shortly thereafter. Following is the remaining operating schedule for 2015: > Regular hours and days of operation through Sunday, August 16. > On Tuesday, August 11, the Pool will open at 4 p.m. The facility will not be open before that time of day because of staffing issues. > Beginning Monday, August 17, weekday operating hours will be 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and regular operating hours on the weekend. > The Pool will close for the season after regular operating hours on Sunday, September 13. As many know, Labor Day weekend is typically when most area pools close for the year. However, given the unexpected storm damage and resulting algae bloom and closure our facility endured, Pool Manager Susan Anderson and her staff will maintain the aforementioned modified schedule to make up for the lost days of usage. As always, the Board encourages and welcomes feedback and su...

A quick thanks to all who turned out for the annual Eagle Nest Pool Party on Sunday, August 9. Despite the threat of rain (which held off until early evening), the event went on without a hitch and a steady stream of residents turned out to join the fun. Dozens of pieces of chicken and hotdogs and a huge cooler of lemonade provided by the Board were gone by the end of the day, as were the many delicious side dishes provided by residents who attended. Dozens of people passed through the Clubhouse throughout the afternoon, and there were plenty of kids on hand to enjoy the pool and playground. Our lifeguard staff did a fantastic job organizing games with prizes for the kids, too. Thanks to everyone who donated food, desserts and snacks for all to enjoy. Thanks also to our Social Committee for organizing such a fine activity for residents -- longtimers and newcomers -- to gather and enjoy each other's company. Community events like this and your participation help make Eagle N...

Are you interested in keeping crime out of our neighborhood? All Eagle Nest residents are welcome to attend a meeting of the neighborhood Crime Watch block captains at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 4, at the Clubhouse. The meeting coincides with the National Night Out, which is designed for neighbors to come together and get to know one another while learning how to protect ourselves and our homes from invasion and violence. National statistics show a violent crime occurs every 26 seconds. Working together and joining in the National Night Out, our residents can be the change agents who bring awareness to our surroundings and hopefully reduce crime, especially in our neighborhood. Thanks to Eagle Nest Crime Watch coordinator (and recently elected Board member) Carolyn Goldenetz, our Tuesday meeting has been registered with the national group as an official participant, a listing acknowledged by IMPD's Gerardo Becerra, Crime Watch Coordinator-North District. Thank you, Carolyn! Keep...
