Board Update: Holiday Lights Contest judging, Jet’s Pizza returns this week, how to fix dark street lights

Hello Eagle Nest residents,

Here’s a look at neighborhood news for the week of December 7:

HOLIDAY LIGHTS CONTEST JUDGING ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 7

A reminder that judging for our annual Holiday Lights Contest will occur on Monday, Dec. 7. The rules are simple: The most festive lot wins!  Simply have your exterior lights on and lot decorations on display by 7 p.m. First place earns a $50 gift card, with prizes for second and third place, too. We’ll post the winners on the blog and Facebook, so stay tuned. Happy holidays, everyone!

JET’S PIZZA IS BACK!

Neighborhood favorite Jet’s Pizza returns this week – 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 9, at the Clubhouse. You know the drill: $5 personal pizzas (cash only), in your choice of sausage, pepperoni or cheese, hot, boxed and ready to go. Jet’s sells out fast when they visit, so get there early. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. As always, please observe CDC guidelines on social distancing and mask use, and use caution entering and exiting the Clubhouse parking lot. Be sure to watch the blog Events link for more food vendor events.

HOW TO GET DARK STREET LIGHTS FIXED: IT’S EASY!

If you spot a dark street light in our neighborhood, the Board would appreciate your help in reporting it to IPL for repair. It’s easy to do, too: Click this IPL link and fill out the short form with the address closest to the light pole. You will need to include the pole tag number, found at the top near the lighting element. You can use the same link if you spot a damaged or downed pole, as well. The Board tries to keep an eye out for light problems, but we don’t drive every street every day so extra sets of eyes are appreciated. As the adage goes it takes a village to keep our community happy, healthy and safe. Thanks in advance for your help.

In other news:

BARKING DOGS: If you experience constant barking from nearby dogs, contact the Mayor’s Action Center and file a complaint: www.indy.gov/activity/how-to-report-animal-complaints. Be sure to cite the Indianapolis City Code’s nuisance ordinance (Sec. 531-204), which includes fines or removal for habitual offenders. Or, maybe just politely mention the noise to your neighbor.

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...
