Despite the cool weather on March 20, a great crowd of Eagle Nest Easter Egg Hunters gathered behind the clubhouse to grab the almost 400 eggs that were scattered in the grass, trees, and bushes. A good time was had by all, and the children enjoyed opening the eggs in the clubhouse.  Hopefully they shared the candy with their parents!  Thank you to Activities Committee members Kelly Dentler, Kim Issak, and Helen Beane for their work making the annual egg hunt another Eagle Nest success. Some year, we will have the hunt with warm, sunny weather! submitted by Alice Miley

Spring is here, and for neighborhoods like Eagle Nest that means the season for solicitors has begun. Painters, tree-removal firms, window replacement companies, roofing and construction repairers -- all will be coming out of the woodwork. Several Eagle Nest Board residents this week reported aggressive "coalition'' representatives canvasing the development collecting signatures and seeking donations, all while claiming they had city permits that allowed them to conduct business. That may be, but they worked the neighborhood well after sunset, ringing doorbells after 9 p.m., even arguing with one cul-de-sac neighbor who chastised them for the late call. And rightly so. The Board is not a substitute for the police and has no authority over solicitors, and residents are reminded to use extreme caution if your home is approached by a stranger, especially at odd hours. Residents are encouraged to follow these steps if your doorbell rings with unwanted sales pitches:...

As spring approaches, so, too, does the urge to work on our homes and improve our lots. And that's a good thing -- the Eagle Nest Board certainly encourages that, because we all want to see our investments hold their value and ensure our neighborhood remains model community. However, the Board reminds all residents that you must seek advance approval for any exterior improvements, including fencing, installation of sheds, even changing the color of your house. (It's in our controlling documents, in case you wondered.) We've had an increase of fence requests recently, and in at least one instance the resident avoided a significant tear-up because the easement wasn't properly accounted for and traditional placement wasn't followed. Click the Rules and Restrictions link on the right side for more info about how to submit your plans for lot improvements. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
