Board Update: Santa drive-thru, Holiday Lights Contest, reporting dark streetlights, covenants update

Hello Eagle Nest residents,

We hope everyone’s holiday season is off to a great start. Here’s a look at neighborhood news for the week of December 6:

SANTA IS COMING TO EAGLE NEST ON DECEMBER 19!
We’re excited to announce that Santa and his elves are coming back to Eagle Nest this holiday season! That’s right – get the kids ready for a drive-by wave, socially distanced photo op and candy toss on Sunday, Dec. 19. Santa will start his journey through the neighborhood at 3:30 p.m. Thursday at the 82nd Street entrance and wind his way south along Teel Way, hitting every court and side street along the way.
 
Want to ensure Santa stops at your house? Send an email to Santa’s helper at scottthien@comcast.net by noon December 18, and we’ll add you to the visit list! (Thanks to residents Tom and Cindy Corbett, Lindsey Dix Holmes and Jack O’Tain, and Board member Helen Galvin for organizing this fun event!) Happy holidays!

P.S.: Starting December 24, track Santa's trip around the world on NORAD’s website.

HOLIDAY LIGHTS CONTEST JUDGING ON DECEMBER 19

The holiday season is upon us, and that means it’s time for the annual Eagle Nest Holiday Lights Contest. Want in? The rules are simple: The most festive lot wins! Simply have your exterior lights on and lot decorations on display by 7 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 19 (the same day as our neighborhood Santa drive-thru), so our panel of judges can pick a winner. 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!

HELP EAGLE NEST STOCK THE IMPD SUBSTATION
Earlier this year, IMPD officially opened a substation in Shadeland Plaza to serve as a staging site for officers working to keep our North District area safe. The surrounding business community and homeowners have been donating drinks and munchies to help keep the station stocked for officers. To support those who help keep our neighborhood safe, the Board is asking residents to donate items to the cause.

Anything is fair game, so the next time you’re at the store please pick up an extra non-perishable food item or two, as well as disinfectant wipes and cleaning supplies. No donation is too big or too small. Frequently requested items include:
·       Drinks like Gatorade, Powerade, soft drinks, teas
·       Kirkland Italian mineral water (specifically requested!)
·       Frozen items (chicken pita melts, Uncrustables, taquitos, breakfast sandwiches, individual quiche, etc.)
·       Shelf-stable microwaveable meals
·       Frito Lay variety pack chips, energy bars, crackers 

To donate an item, please email Board Vice President Jason Van Meter at jpvanmeter@sbcglobal.net to coordinate pickup. You also can contact your neighbors, church, scouting or school groups to help with this worthy effort!

CONTROLLING DOCUMENTS UPDATE COMING IN 2022
The purpose and function of the Eagle Nest Property Owners Association is to preserve and protect the rights of residents, the Association’s amenities, and to enforce our controlling documents. The latter, however, haven’t seen a meaningful, comprehensive update since they were written in the early 1970s. That’s why the Board has engaged the Association’s law firm to help revise our covenants and bring them current for the 21st century. Some passages will require a vote by residents, so please be on the lookout for more information coming in early 2022. Questions/suggested changes? Contact Board President scottthien@comcast.net.

HOW TO GET DARK STREET LIGHTS FIXED: IT’S EASY!
If you spot a dark streetlight 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 eyes are appreciated. Thanks in advance for helping keep our community happy, healthy and safe.

JOIN OUR EMAIL STRING: Our weekly email blast is the fastest, most convenient way to get official neighborhood news and important updates (not Next Door). To join the list, send an email to scottthien@comcast.net.

DIRECTORIES COMING SOON: Due to various unexpected production disruptions, completion of our neighborhood directories is behind schedule. We are working as quickly as possible to finish the booklets and get them delivered to residents. We appreciate your patience.

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...
