Board Update: Neighborhood news sources, new food truck on Tuesday, Labor Day pool closure, free popsicles

Eagle Nest residents, Here is what’s happening in the neighborhood the week of August 31: OFFICIAL NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS: As many of you probably know, you can’t believe everything you read on the internet -- including social media and fake news. That’s why the Board reminds residents that official Eagle Nest news is only available on these three platforms: Eagle Nest Blog: http://eaglenestindy.blogspot.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/EagleNestPropertyOwnersAssociation Constant Contact: To join our weekly blast, send an email to enpoa_sec@att.net . (Residents only) We know Next Door and Slack are popular, for example, but they aren’t official platforms for neighborhood business or updates, largely because we don’t want our communications overtaken by advertising, irrelevant content and comments from non-residents. The Board doesn’t monitor any other platforms, so if you have questions or concerns, please use our official communication avenues. TUESDAY’S FOOD TRUCK: We’re excited to welcom

Board Update: Little Library, Tuesday’s food truck, free Jet’s Pizza, free popsicles, Pool hours reminder

Eagle Nest residents, Here’s what’s happening in the neighborhood the week of August 24: LITTLE LIBRARY: In these crazy, confining COVID-19 times, Eagle Nest has an easy way to escape the stress: Visit our Free Little Library. Dedicated in June 2018, the library is on the east side of the Clubhouse and features dozens of fiction and non-fiction books for children and adults to borrow. The Eagle Nest Little Library is among more than 65,000 Little Free Libraries across the country with the motto, “Take a book, return a book.” The resource was designed and donated by longtime resident Annette Donegan, who taught first grade at Nora Elementary for 38 years. She lined up a carpenter to build it, longtime resident Sheila Jackson painted it, and resident Don Ugoletti installed it – a true neighborhood community effort. “Being an educator, I have a passion for reading,” Donegan said at the dedication. “Many kids don't have access to books or haven't discovered the joy of reading.” Sh

The booklet, sporting an aqua/blue cover with the Eagle Nest logo on the front, is your official guide to our neighborhood, complete with street and lot maps homeowner contact information. A big thank you to Secretary/Bo okkeeper Chris’e Van Meter and Board member Brian Schneider for working hard to keep our directory up to date!

Free Kona Ice snow cones today at the Clubhouse

Celebrate summer (and the start of school?) with a free snow cone in a variety of flavors from Kona Ice, compliments of the Board. We're giving away freebies today to the first 65 residents  from 5-7 p.m. at the Clubhouse   (one per child, please). Last week, it was free cupcakes, and this week it's snow cones. It's all part of our Family Fun Nights program. Watch the Eagle Nest blog and Facebook for more events. As always, please wear a mask and observe CDC guidelines on social distancing during today's event. Also, please park in the back lot to prevent vehicle congestion and use caution entering and exiting the Clubhouse parking lot. Enjoy!

Important notice: Pool closed until further notice to correct chemical levels

Image
Eagle Nest residents, Due to unsatisfactory chemical levels, our pool is closed until further notice. The imbalance was caused by a combination of factors, including natural chemical degradation and organic debris from recent storms and visiting wildlife. The County Health Department has instructed us to partially drain the main facility, refill it with fresh water and rebalance the chemicals. We hope the process will be completed by the end of the week, possibly sooner. We apologize for the inconvenience, but given the size of the facility a quick fix just isn’t possible. It takes time to properly remediate the problem. We appreciate resident understanding and patience as we work through this temporary repair. Our pool staff has done a wonderful job managing the facility in the ongoing COVID-19 climate, and they will work closely with our pool servicing vendor ensure we maintain the highest water quality moving forward. Nothing is more important than residents’ safety. Watch the blog
