Eagle Nest Update: Crime Watch meeting, news sources, Easter Egg Hunt, lot improvements, dues update

Happy March, Eagle Nest residents. Time to catch up on some neighborhood news covered in our February Board meeting:

Annual dues update
By now, you should have received your annual dues invoice in the mail (and electronically, if we have your email address in our records). Payment is due by May 31, delinquent with some hefty late fees through June. July 1, all unpaid accounts are turned over to our legal counsel for collections. Thank you to the dozens of lot owners who have paid so far – just a few hundred homeowners to go! Didn’t get an invoice, have questions or want to set up an installment payment plan? Contact Bookkeeper/Admin Chris’e Van Meter at enpoa_sec@att.net.

Crime Watch meeting March 19 at the Clubhouse
Join fellow residents interested in neighborhood safety at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, March 19, at the Clubhouse. Discussion topics include how to address illegal parking, neighborhood speeding, stop sign scofflaws and ways to report other problems anonymously. As always, if you see something suspicious, please call 911. Also, check our blog’s Crime Watch page for more resources. See you March 19!

Think safety, common sense when selling to strangers
As spring approaches, residents no doubt will be cleaning house and purging furniture or other house wares. While websites like Facebook Marketplace or OfferUp may seem convenient, they also pose hidden dangers as you basically are inviting strangers to your house. Our Crime Watch team advises you to meet prospective buyers in public away from your property so they can’t fake injury while on your premises, “case” your property for valuables – or do worse to your bodily person. Ask a friend to tag along so you’re not alone. Be smart, use common sense and be safe!

April 19 Easter Egg Hunt kicks off spring activities
Believe it or not, spring is just three weeks away, and that means our neighborhood activities will be back in swing. Our annual Easter Egg Hunt is set for 2 p.m. Saturday, April 19. Discussions also are underway for our Memorial Day weekend pool opening, possibly a Discount Pizza Night and more. Watch the blog and Facebook for more details soon. Want to help? Email Social Committee Co-chairs Sarah Craney at mssarahjourdan@gmail.com or Marcella Kates at marcellakates@gmail.com.

Reminder: Lot improvements need Board approval
Did you know that our covenants require Board approval for all exterior lot improvements before work can begin? Such requests are rarely rejected, as we want residents to maintain their properties, of course. The Board simply needs to ensure projects fit with the aesthetics of the neighborhood. This includes but is not limited to fences, sheds, driveway and roof replacements, exterior color changes, among other things. The review process is quick and easy.

It's pothole season: How to report them
We know that’s nothing new, but did you know you can help get those driving dangers fixed quicker by filing a report on the Mayor’s Action Center website? It only takes a few minutes: All you need to do is answer six quick multiple-choice questions (you’ll need the address of the closest house, by the way). That’s it, then we’re in line with the rest of the city!

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...

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...

And the 2024 Holiday Lights Contest winners are …

Image
Each year, it gets harder and harder to pick the winners in the annual Holiday Lights Contest – and that’s a good thing. It’s so refreshing, uplifting and encouraging to see the spirit of the holidays on full display across the neighborhood, in big ways and small. This year’s panel of judges – a Board member’s relatives visiting from Florida and Belgium (no joke!) – were amazed by the effort so many homeowners put into decorating their lots and homes. And so with that, the winners are (drum roll please) … First place (tie): 8250 Warbler Way/Lot 120 (Tom and Cindy Corbett) First place (tie): 8133 Bittern Lane/Lot 217 (Kevin and Bronwyn Caddell) Second place: 8133 Tanager Court/Lot 276 (Arlo and Heather Meyer) Third place (tie): 8019 Tanager Lane/Lot 285 (Eric and Cheryl Herzog) Third place (tie): 8331 Mockingbird Lane/Lot 92 (Brian and Brandy Schneider) Let’s not forget some outstanding honorable mentions: Bittern Lane: 8015, 8020, 8102, 8111, 8112, 8133 Warbler Way: 7710, 772...
