COOKIES WITH SANTA CANCELED ON DECEMBER 13

Out of an abundance of caution amid COVID-19 concerns, the Board has canceled the Cookies with Santa event on December 13 at the Clubhouse. We know this is disappointing for many families looking to celebrate the holidays with Santa, but bringing together a crowd of strangers – even neighbors – isn’t responsible during this time. But the spirit of the season isn’t all lost: Our annual Holiday Lights Decorating Contest is still on. The Board will be judging decorated homes the evening of December 7, so get your decorations set up and lit up now! You could win a gift card!

In other news:

LEAF PICKUP ENDS DECEMBER 1: Only two collection weeks left before the city ends free pickup of bagged leaves. Reminders: 40 bags max each Tuesday; bags must be out by 7 a.m. and away from your trash cart; and plastic bags recommended, but paper is accepted. The pickup program ends December 1. More information: indy.gov/activity/leaf-collection-season. Also, the Board reminds residents that open burning of leaves is illegal in Marion County and carries fines up to $2,500 for each offense. If you witness neighbors burning leaves, call 911 and file a non-emergency report or the Mayor’s Action Center at (317) 327-4622.

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

Board Update: Curb Appeal Award winners, inaugural Card Night on Oct. 10, live music Oct. 21 at Clubhouse!

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
