Board update week of Aug. 29: Pool closure schedule, new BBQ food truck, new whiskey tasting event


LAST CALL FOR LAST SWIM: POOL SEASON ENDS LABOR DAY
Sadly, all good things come to an end, including our 2022 Pool season. It’s been a great – and safe – run, thanks to our friendly and dedicated lifeguard staff and Pool Manager Samantha Burns. Except for two days, we have been open daily the entire season, a claim not all area pools can make because of staffing shortages (including the nearby city-operated Sahm Park Aquatics Center). But not Eagle Nest! So, as you take that last dip in the pool the Labor Day holiday weekend, please be sure to thank our pool staff for their hard work this year.

Our remaining hours of operation for 2022:
  • Monday-Friday, Aug. 29 to Sept. 2, 4 to 8 p.m.
  • Saturday, Sept. 3, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
  • Sunday, Sept. 4, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
  • Monday, Sept. 5 (Labor Day), 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

LABOR DAY DOG SWIM: CALLING ALL PUPPIES TO THE POOL
Our 2nd annual Eagle Nest Dog Swim is set for 8-9 p.m. Sept. 5, immediately after the Pool closes to residents for the season. Like last year’s inaugural event, all dog owners in the development are welcome to bring their pets to the pool for a splashing good time. Even if you don’t have a dog in the hunt (ha), bring the kids down to watch our furry friends demonstrate legit dog paddle swimming styles!

We will have a lifeguard on duty, so residents are welcome to join their pets in the water. No aggressive animals will be permitted, and all patrons are subject to our published Pool rules. (Event weather permitting.)

FOOD TRUCK TUESDAY, AUG. 30: IT’S SMOKEY BLUE BBQ!
Forget the evening dinner scramble – we have the perfect fix: Smokey Blue BBQ, coming Tuesday, Aug. 30, from 6-8 p.m. to the Clubhouse! Smokey Blue BBQ is well-known across our area for its high-end craft BBQ, pulled pork and chicken with all the sides, including green beans with bacon, mac and cheese, loaded fries and street corn. They even have SoCal-style BBQ burritos. Yep, and they are fantastic!

Smokey Blue is a new to our food truck rotation, and we’re sure their Texas-style menu and original sauces will be a resident favorite (return stops are scheduled set for Sept. 27 and Oct. 25, btw.) Want to know more? Click here to see their recent appearance on Fox59! Catch them on Facebook and Instagram, too.

Questions? Contact social events chair Brigette Stephens.

NEW EVENT SEPT. 30: SIPPIN’ IN SEPTEMBER WHISKEY TASTING
There’s a first time for everything – like a whiskey tasting event at the Clubhouse! We’re calling it Sippin’ in September, and it’s a great opportunity for our neighborhood whiskey fans to get together, learn the history of the spirit, sample different bottles, enjoy some light appetizers and have fun with friends, old and new. Join us Sept. 30, 7-9 p.m.!

This will be a chill, adults-only event with a schedule, so you will get the best experience (i.e., more samples) if you can be there when it begins. The Uber ride home is short, so feel free to stay as long as you want!

Not a whiskey person? No biggie, just bring your beverage of choice and hang out with some great people having a great time. Afterall, it is a Friday – why not have a little neighborhood party? Click here to sign up!

IT’S TUESDAY NIGHT, DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR TRASH CART IS?
Nobody likes a trashy look, especially when it comes to our neighborhood. And so, a gentle reminder to put your trash and recycling carts away after Tuesday collections (ideally in your garage or behind your home). It’s not just a courtesy to keep our neighborhood from looking nasty -- our Declarations of Restrictions (Section 5F) prohibit storing trash receptacles within view of the development.

A recent neighborhood review revealed more than two dozen residents routinely disregard the rules we all agreed to when we moved into Eagle Nest. So as a gentle nudge, the Board this month mailed two dozen postcard notices to those non-compliant residents asking for their cooperation. If you received a postcard, please be good neighbors and put your carts away. Leaving them out isn’t a good look for your property, or our neighborhood.

QUESTIONS, CONCERNS? We want to hear from you. As always, feel free to contact any Board member. Like you, we’re residents, too, and we want your ideas to ensure Eagle Nest remains the best development around!

On behalf of the Board,
Scott Thien, President

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...

Summer has arrived in Eagle Nest, and the big neighborhood news is the opening of the Pool! Following is your June Board Update for more on that, as well as a few other need-to-know nuggets: Pool security fobs: Overwhelmingly positive support: That best sums up resident reaction to our new security fob system at the Pool this season.
