Pool opens Memorial Day weekend, likely Saturday, so be sure to pay your dues

As the Memorial Day weekend approaches, many Eagle Nest residents probably have noticed a lot of activity around our Pool and Clubhouse lately. The spring rains have eased a bit, so the Board has been busy working to improve the grounds and facilities in anticipation of opening of our Pool for the season, likely on Saturday (weather permitting). Highlights of some of the changes you'll see:
  • Landscaping: We installed bushes and several trees near the Playground to create a more park-like setting, as well as provide shade to the equipment once the trees mature.
  • Picnic tables: Several picnic tables will be permanently installed near the front of the Clubhouse grounds, providing much-needed places for families to picnic or enjoy our Family Fun Nights (click here for a schedule).
  • Pool repairs: Work is underway to replace the concrete coping edges and decorative tile around the entire perimeter -- the first major Pool repair in about a decade -- followed by an acid wash and refill beginning Thursday. The coping had loosened in many spots, creating a safety hazard. The Pool officially opens Monday, Memorial Day, but Pool Manager Susan Anderson is working hard to open Saturday, weather permitting. The heater will be on, so even if it's chilly outside the water should be tolerable.
  • Sidewalk installation: The Board is close to finishing the bid process for installation of a sidewalk on the east side of the Clubhouse. The goal is to make Pool access easier for those with strollers or mobility issues. Work could begin next month.
Unfortunately, about 40 residents still haven't paid their annual dues, which means they won't be getting Pool tags until their accounts are paid. (They also lose this year's one-time $40 credit and incur a late fee). On June 1, all delinquent accounts will turned over to our attorney for collection, but we hope it won't come to that. We understand life gets in the way sometimes, so if you haven't paid your dues yet please drop them in the Eagle Nest Clubhouse mailbox at 8075 Teel Way as soon as possible.

Pool tags will be mailed this week to all residents who showed paid as of May 16; delayed processing and delivery will result for lots paid after that date. Questions about the status of your account? Contact Secretary/Bookkeeper Chris'e Van Meter at enpoa_sec@att.net. Questions about Pool tags? Contact Pool Manager Susan Anderson at saanderson16@yahoo.com.

As always, the Board welcomes suggestions and feedback on ways to ensure Eagle Nest remains a top-notch neighborhood, and we wish everyone a fantastic Memorial Day weekend!

Scott Thien, ENPOA President

Board Update: Pool Party with free food, new fob access, cleanup crew recap; Annual Garage Sale June 7-8; dues deadlines approaching and more!

Hello, Eagle Nesters! The Board hopes your spring is off to a great start. It’s hard to believe with all the cold, rainy weather of April that the Pool will be open in barely a month. In preparation for that, it’s time to share a few updates about the 2024 swim season: Nearly a dozen residents turn out to deep clean the Pool A huge thanks goes out to the volunteer team led by Bittern Lane residents John and Cindy Spicklemire for organizing a deep clean of Pool facility on Saturday, April 27. The team of 12 spent hours power washing the chairs to address years of sunblock stains and removing wall grime, while others pulled weeds, cleaned the tables and swept up debris. In return, the Board brought in Jimmy John’s sandwiches, chips and water to keep our cleaning crew fueled up. That was a small price to pay for what would have cost thousands of dollars in labor and time to hire a contractor to do the same work. Be sure to give these neighbors a hearty thanks for their cleanup efforts: J

Memorial Day is coming – and that means Pool season is upon us! We have lots to tell about our opening plans, so here goes: Pool opening: Noon to 8 p.m., Memorial Day, Monday, May 27. Due to scheduling issues with our pool company, it was a scramble to get the facility power washed, cleaned and filled, so the water may be a little cold. Fingers crossed the rain holds off. Pool Party: Noon to 2 p.m. Memorial Day. Free hotdogs, chips, popsicles, lemonade, and beer for the adults. Weather: Given the rainy weather forecast for Monday, watch the blog and Facebook page for updates on postponements or closures. New Pool fobs: All residents in good standing can pick up their new Pool fobs from noon to 8 p.m. Monday. Board members will be set up on the concrete pad outside the gate. Be sure to bring your ID and lot number. Reminder: Only residents whose dues have been paid and cleared can obtain fobs. Want more fob info? Check your mailbox. This week, all residents were mailed a Q&A docum

The Board hopes everyone’s fall season is off to a great start. October is shaping up to be a busy month in Eagle Nest – read on! 2023 Curb Appeal Awards winners announced! The Board is proud to recognize the following lots as winners of our 2023 Curb Appeal Awards, presented to Eagle Nest owners for their outstanding lot and house maintenance. First place (tied): 8031 Teel Way , above left, (Lot 52, Clayton Napier) and 8111 Warbler Way , above right (Lot 229, Todd and Rokeena Williams).  Both homes underwent extensive exterior renovations in recent years, including new roofing, new siding, new paint, wood repair, landscaping and more (all pre-approved by the Rules and Restrictions Committee, by the way). The owners could have saved considerable money by moving to a newer home in another neighborhood, but they chose to stay and invest in their properties. Clearly, the time and effort paid off, as both lots are shining examples of how to bring out the best in a property. Projects like t
