Board Update: Free Kona Ice snow cones at Annual Party, Pool hours adjusted, Food Truck Tuesday with Bearded Burgers

Hello Eagle Nest residents,
 
Here is the latest neighborhood news for the week of July 26:
 
KONA ICE COMING TO ANNUAL PARTY ON SUNDAY, AUG. 1

Here’s something the kids don’t want to miss: free Kona Ice snow cones at the Annual Party! That’s right, from noon to 2 p.m. in the Clubhouse parking lot, the Board is treating every little Eagle Nester (OK, adults, too) to a free 8-ounce shaved ice cup. And here’s the fun part: Everyone can pour on their favorite flavors from a wide range of self-serve choices. Simply present your Pool pass to get your freebie. (One cone per person, please.)

Some of you may remember we invited Kona Ice to the Clubhouse last year, and they were a huge hit among families. We’re looking forward to another great visit this Sunday.

Don’t forget there’s free lunch inside the Clubhouse, too! The Board is providing free fried chicken, side salads, lemonade and beer (for those 21 and older). Per tradition, we ask residents to bring/donate a side salad, tray of assorted cheese and crackers or fruit, chips, dips, etc., for neighbors to enjoy. We’ll have tables set up inside the Clubhouse so you can eat and meet fellow Eagle Nesters. Families are welcome to eat outside in the upper pool patio, too. It’s all to say thank you for making our neighborhood a residential destination! Hope to see you there!

POOL HOURS CHANGE THIS WEEK FOR REST OF SEASON

With school starting in the coming weeks, our Pool operating hours will be adjusted to accommodate our lifeguards’ availability. Effective Monday, July 26, the Pool will be open weekdays from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., with the first and last half hour daily reserved for adult swim. Weekend hours are changing, too: Saturdays and Sundays the facility will be open from noon to 6 p.m., with the first and last half hour daily for adult swim. These changes are effective the rest of the season.

We know these changes may be inconvenient or surprising for some, but our Pool staffing flexes every year as vacations wind down and pool use drops. Even with reduced hours, Eagle Nest still provides a venue and service unmatched in several parts of the city. As might know, many area pools struggled to open because of lifeguard shortages. In fact, Indianapolis barely opened half of its 20 city pools this year, including nearby Sahm Park. Luckily, we secured our staff early and have been operational nearly every day since Memorial Day.

In other pool news: Unfortunately, a lifeguard’s bike was stolen last Friday from the bike rack on the east side of the Clubhouse. We rarely have trouble with theft at the Pool, so this bad news comes as a surprise. If you or a family member ride your bike to the Pool, we encourage you to bring a lock to secure your property.

FOOD TRUCK TUESDAY: IT’S BEARDED BURGER!

Summer is made for cookouts, but sometimes you’re hungry and there’s no time to fire up the grill. No worries, Bearded Burger has you covered. This week’s Food Truck Tuesday guest is a new concept from the same folks who operate the Bearded Bagel (formerly Bagel Boss). The menu is simple but delicious: smashburgers with fries, chicken sandwiches with fries, or chicken tenders with fries. Incredible sides include fried corn nuggets, bacon mac’n cheese bites, fries, tater tots and onion rings. Oh, don’t forget you can add bacon to your burger or chicken sandwich!

@BeardedBurger is a continuation of our weekly partnerships with local food vendors. Every Tuesday is a food truck, and every Thursday is Jet’s Pizza through September. Check the blog Events page to see who’s coming next and when.

IN OTHER NEWS:

SIGNAGE POLICY: A reminder that yard signs are not permitted without Board approval. We’ve seen a few pop up around the development in the wake of the June 18 hail storm, but unfortunately these do not qualify for display, per the Eagle Nest Signage Policy approved by the Board of Directors on January 31, 2021, and recorded with Marion County on February 23, 2021, as part of the Association's Declarations of Restrictions. Exception: Contractors signs are permitted only on the day of active repairs – generic promotion signs are not.

Unapproved signs will be removed. Got a sign you want to display? Submit a request -- just snap a photo of the sign and email it with a description (materials, size, duration of display) to RulesRestrictions@att.net. (That also is the email address to submit proposed plans for exterior lot improvements.) Thanks for your cooperation in keeping our neighborhood a commercial-free zone.

On behalf of the Board,
ScottThien, President

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...
