Board Update: Pool use changes, food truck Tuesday, event updates, new sidewalk chalk art contest deadline

Hello Eagle Nest residents!


Here is what’s ahead in Eagle Nest for the week of July 27:



POOL USE CHANGES: Effective Monday, July 27, social gatherings – and the Eagle Nest Board interprets that as use of our community pool and Clubhouse – will be limited to 50 people at any one time, per newly issued guidance provided by Indiana Gov. Holcomb. In addition, per a city mandate issued by Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett, patrons older than age 8 are expected to wear a mask while inside the facilities if social distancing is not possible.


The mask requirement does not apply to anyone in the pool. Signed waivers must be on file with the Board before any use of the pool or Clubhouse. Because our lifeguard staff is the front line, they have the authority to eject patrons for non-compliance or close the facility, if needed. We hope it won’t come to that, of course. The Eagle Nest Board fully supports these measures to ensure the health and safety of our residents, and we ask for your cooperation as we continue efforts to mitigate COVID-19.

For more local information about COVID-19, check the following helpful links:

SWIM LESSONS A HIT! Speaking of the pool, this weekend wrapped up another successful season of free beginner swim lessons. Nearly every slot in both sessions was full, and our lifeguards did a wonderful job introducing our youngest residents to aquatic safety. If your kids missed out and you still want instruction, several guards are open to private lessons (hours and fee negotiable). Contact Pool Manager Samantha Burns at samanthaburns51@gmail.com for more information.


FOOD TRUCK TUESDAY: Edwards Drive-in Diner (edwardsdrivein.com) has been a Southside landmark since the 1950s. Their food,is legendary and has been featured on national TV diner shows. On Tuesday, 5-8 p.m., Edward's is bringing its Dashboard Diner to us! Edwards will be serving their classic State Fair menu: huge hand-breaded tenderloins, chicken strips, burgers, dogs, fried fish sandwiches, salads, wraps, potato wedges, onion rings, fried pickles – you name it, they have it.

As always, please observe CDC guidelines on social distancing and use of masks and be careful entering and leaving the Clubhouse parking lot so you don't run over fellow neighbors. Also, please park in the back lot to keep the traffic pathways clear. If you have food truck suggestions, please contact Board President Scott Thien at scottthien@comcast.net.

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...
