Board Update: Residents safe after house fire, Tuesday’s food truck, Clubhouse rental cleaning reminder

Eagle Nest residents,

Here’s a look at neighborhood news for the week of September 14:


RESIDENTS SAFE AFTER FIRE DAMAGES HOME: The Board is sad to report the home of longtime Eagle Nest residents Richard and Sheila Jackson, 8419 Sandpiper Court, was extensively damage by fire last week. The blaze started in the garage and extensively damaged the two-story structure. Thankfully, neither Richard nor Sheila (or their pet) was hurt, but you can imagine the emotional strain of such a catastrophe.

To help cover costs until the Jacksons’ insurance company steps in, the Board has set up a Go Fund Me page: Click here to donate. The hope is Eagle Nest residents will rally to support the Jacksons so they can enjoy a few meals, buy clothes, personal items, etc. Every dollar counts in a stressful time like this, so no donation is too small. Thank you in advance for your support and generosity.

UNION JACK COMING TUESDAY! Summer may be over, but our parade of food trucks at Clubhouse continues for your convenience. Who’s coming when:

  • September 15: Union Jack Pub and Grub (5-8 p.m.). Renowned Broad Ripple favorite @UnionJackPub returns with their legendary tenderloins, pretzel bread sticks and queso, fish and chips, mac and cheese and more.

More food truck dates:

  • September 23: Jet's Pizza (5-7 p.m.)
  • September 29: Chef TLC (5-8 p.m.)

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!


A WORD (OR TWO) ABOUT CLUBHOUSE RENTALS: As we all know, COVID-19 has changed nearly aspect of life today. Heightened awareness and attention to maintaining the health and safety at facilities has never been more important, and that includes our neighborhood Clubhouse.

More information: Click here for a virtual tour. Click here for rental details.

The Board reminds all renters that the facility must be completely clean and disinfected after your event or risk the loss of part or all your deposit. This has always been Association policy, but current health concerns due to the pandemic make this contract requirement non-negotiable – no exceptions. Unfortunately, several renters this year lost their deposit because the facility wasn’t cleaned properly. Please respect our facility and ensure everything on the rental checklist is completed before returning the keys. Also, each person must sign a waiver form before attending your event. Thank you for your cooperation.

POPSICLES ON THE PATIO A HIT: Dozens of kids and adults stopped by the pool on Labor Day to enjoy free popsicles, courtesy of the Board. It was great to meet so many new neighbors and get reacquainted with longtime residents, too. Who knew the adult popsicle versions would be so popular! Check the Events tab on the blog for our next social activities.

In other news of note …

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

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
