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!
