Board Update: Leaf pickup schedule, Chef TLC on Tuesday, holiday Clubhouse rentals, Crime Watch meeting October 6

Eagle Nest residents,

Here’s a look at neighborhood news for the week of September 28:

INDY DPW ANNOUNCES 2020 LEAF PICKUP DATES: Now that fall is here, it won’t be long before many of us are in the yard raking and bagging leaves. Be sure to save these key Eagle Nest leaf pickup dates, per the Indianapolis Department of Public Works: Pickup is every Tuesday, beginning November 10. Pickup ends Tuesday, December 1.

Following are DPW guidelines for pickup:
  • Place leaves in plastic bags. Paper bags are permitted, but they can deteriorate and break apart in wet weather. DPW may not pick up broken bags.
  • Keep bags at least three feet away from your trash cart for easy pickup.
  • Leaf bags should be outside by 7 a.m. on our normal trash day each Tuesday.
  • While you’re raking, do your fellow neighbors a solid and clear leaves from storm drain inlets to prevent drainage and flooding problems.
  • Remember, burning leaves is illegal in Marion County.
Last year, DPW collected about 4,800 tons of leaves from Marion County residents. As in years past, the collected leaves are taken to the South Side Landfill where they are composted. Residents can pick up the resulting mulch in the spring at no cost. For more information, visit https://www.indy.gov/activity/leaf-collection-season.

FOOD TRUCK COMING TUESDAY: On Tuesday, Sept. 29, the Chef TLC food truck bus will serve up their soul-infused, made-to order “state fair” menu from 5-8 p.m. at the Clubhouse. @chef_tlc's menu includes burgers, corn dogs, pulled pork, fried sides like jalapeno poppers and mushrooms, and fantastic deserts like funnel cake fries and peach cobbler. Yes!

As always, please observe CDC guidelines on social distancing and use of masks, and be careful entering and leaving the Clubhouse parking lot. Also, the Board asks residents to park in the back lot to keep traffic pathways clear. Thank you!

CLUBHOUSE RENTALS GOING FAST: If you’re looking for a place to host your holiday party, our very own Clubhouse is a spacious and convenient option. Equipped with a full kitchen, large-screen TV, ping-pong and foosball tables, and capacity up to 50 people (per COVID-19 rules issued by the Marion County Health Department) and plenty of parking, the venue is an exclusive rental perk available to residents only. Only a handful of weekends are still available in November and December, so reserve now! More information: Click here for rental details. Click here for a virtual tour.

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

Board Update: Pool opening and Pool Party, annual dues reminder, new social events team, Hague Road entrance

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
