A big thank you to our residents ...

It's been a busy summer so far in Eagle Nest -- and we have our wonderful, supportive residents, Social Committee and volunteer Board to thank for that. Every event has been well attended and seems to bring out more residents and new faces every time. It's fantastic to see the continuation of old traditions and the start of new ones. Thanks to everyone who attended or volunteered at:

 Annual Pool
Party opening: Kudos go out to Pool Manager Susan Anderson and her team for opening on time Memorial Day weekend, providing excellent guard support and maintaining a top-notch facility at full schedule all summer. And thanks to the replacement of all three aging pumps and few major summer storms, we seem to have escaped the green algae plumes that have plagued our water and forced temporary closures the past two years. Watch the blog later this month for details on a modified schedule of hours as we near the end of the season.
July 4 Kids Parade: Once again, kids of all ages and their parents turned out with decorated wagons, bikes and strollers for what has become a popular event among families, and capped with treats at the Clubhouse afterward. Thanks to the Social Committee for its continued support in sponsoring this event.

Family Fun Nights/Jet's Pizza: Every Thursday for the past two months, Jet's Pizza camped out at the Clubhouse to sell more than 100 $5 personal pizzas (cheese, sausage and pepperoni) -- a convenient dinner option that had residents clamoring for a return next year. Good news! Jet's will be back in 2018! We know not everyone is a fan of pizza, so if you have an "in" with area food trucks or catering vendors please contact Social Committee head Alice Miley at alicemiley23@gmail.com and we'll add them to the rotation.
Crime Watch: Thanks to the leadership of Board member Carolyn Goldenetz, our quarterly meetings at the Clubhouse have been nothing short of a success. More than 100 residents have attended one meeting or another this year, and support continues to grow. (Could it be because of the free, fancy deserts provided?) Our August 1 meeting on National Night Out drew more than 20 people, two city representatives (IMPD and Prosecutor's Office) and District 4 Councilor Michael McQuillen (above). Common concerns/topics discussed: more patrols during LN games, best types of residential security systems/cameras, recent break-in along Teel Way. Carolyn is always looking for ideas (not to mention eyes and ears for each block), so email her at goldenetz@gmail.com to volunteer. Up next: October 3, a home security expert discusses options tailored to today's busy lifestyles. Watch the blog for more information as the dates nears.
Annual Summer Party: The weather was iffy, but that didn't dampen the spirits of those who turned out for our longest-running neighborhood event (tied with our annual Pool Party, actually). Several dozen folks turned out to enjoy fried chicken, lemonade and beer provided by the Board, as well as a bevy of side dishes contributed by residents, including deviled eggs, green bean casserole, pasta salads, hot dogs, chips, corn bread and plenty of deserts (hungry yet?). It was a relaxing afternoon enjoyed by an even mix of newcomers and longtimers -- just the way it should be. Feeling left out? Watch the blog for the Social Committee's fall lineup, including a possible Colts watch party, a chili cookoff, maybe even a wine tasting. Suffice to say, there's always something going on at the Clubhouse! Stay tuned!

 In closing, thank you. Thank you for being such great neighbors, for being engaged, for your feedback, for your support. Sure, there's always something to work on, something to improve; our resident-inspired movement to update the controlling documents is an example (more on that in the next month or so). But your Board would like to think that Eagle Nest is and will continue to be a neighborhood gem unlike any other and a residential destination for years to come. But we can't do it without you.

 Feel free contact me or any Board member with questions or concerns -- we are here for you. Have a great rest of the summer!

Scott Thien
Eagle Nest President, on behalf of the ENPOA Board

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...

Summer has arrived in Eagle Nest, and the big neighborhood news is the opening of the Pool! Following is your June Board Update for more on that, as well as a few other need-to-know nuggets: Pool security fobs: Overwhelmingly positive support: That best sums up resident reaction to our new security fob system at the Pool this season. To date, nearly 300 of our 419 lot owners have picked up their fobs, a great indication of neighborhood appreciation for of our facility. To obtain your fob, you must contact Board VP Jason Van Meter jpvanmeter@sbcglobal.net or 317-755-7550 to make drop-off arrangements and sign a waiver/acceptance form. Fobs will only be issued to residents whose annual dues are paid in full and whose properties are clear of any covenant violations. For general Pool questions, please contact Pool Manager Sam Burns at samanthaburns51@gmail.com or 317-372-4329. As a reminder, our Pool rules are available on the blog . Huge thanks go out to Jason and his wife and Bookkeep...
