Board Update: Free Simply Divine cupcakes, pool updates, August food truck schedule, Zoom Crime Watch meeting

Hello, Eagle Nest residents!

Here is what’s ahead in Eagle Nest for the week of August 3:

FREE CUPCAKES FOR THE KIDS! That’s right, come to the Clubhouse on Thursday, Aug. 6 (5-7 p.m.), and the first 50 kids (ages 1-12) will receive a free cupcake from Simply Divine Cupcakes, the popular dessert vendor in downtown City Market. (Some of you might remember Simply Divine’s visits earlier this summer as part of our food truck rotation.) First come, first served; one cupcake per child, please. Compliments of our Social Committee and the Board. Simply Divine will stay on site to sell extra cupcakes once our free batch is gone. It’s all part of Family Fun Nights, every Thursday at the Clubhouse. Coming August 13: free Kona Ice snow cones!


POOL UPDATE: The Board thanks all residents for their continued help in observing our posted rules and following CDC guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Please ensure you maintain social distancing from those not in your immediate party and wear a mask when entering and exiting the facility (Masks are not required while swimming, of course.). A reminder that we require all residents sign and submit a pool waiver for our files before using the facility. Nearly 200 lot owners have done so, a testament to our development’s support and commitment to safety. Lastly, please note the following hours of operation (We’ve had residents show up early before the guards were fully prepared to open): Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Check the Pool link on the Eagle Nest blog for more info. Questions? Contact Pool Manager Samantha Burns at samanthaburns51@gmail.com.


SWIM LESSON FAN MAIL: A shoutout to our lifeguard staff for their fantastic work conducting free swim lessons for nearly two dozen young Eagle Nesters last month. Following is a thank you from a participating family: “Three of our boys participated in the swim lessons and they had so much fun! Thank you thank you for making that happen this year! Our 6-year-old came away very confident, and after knowing nothing on Monday he was able to take his puddle jumper off yesterday and practiced with his Dad one more time before doggy paddling like a champ. We are very proud of him and thankful for the lifeguards encouragement and time this week!” If your kids participated, please be sure to thank the guards for their time and instruction – they would appreciate hearing your feedback.

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
