National Night Out -- Tuesday, August 1 --  is a unique crime prevention event designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; generate support for and participation in local anticrime programs; strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and send a message to criminals to that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. Eagle Nest is celebrating with dessert at the Clubhouse so you can meet your neighbors and build resident awareness. One of IMPD's North District police officers will pay a visit, too, so stop by! The event starts at 7 p.m. Questions? Want to help with our Eagle Nest Crime Watch efforts? Contact neighborhood coordinator and Board member Carolyn Goldenetz at goldenetz @gmail.com.

Warbler Way and Bittern Lane residents, Are you missing part of your plastic shed and some yard equipment? These items floated down the easement drainage swale between the two streets during this week's flash flooding. It's on the sidewalk in the 7700 block of Warbler (just up the street from the 3-way stop sign). Neighbors ask that you retrieve the materials at your earliest convenience. If it goes unclaimed too long it probably will wind up in the recycling truck. Please spread the word. Thanks!

Fellow Eagle Nest residents, The Board hopes everyone's summer is going well and that everyone had a great Fourth of July holiday. We wanted to pass along a few quick updates about our neighborhood amenities. Clubhouse: You might have noticed the front entrance looks a little different. The Board last week removed the failing decade-old wooden steps and installed new concrete steps -- including a handicapped accessible ramp. Once the steps have completely cured, our contractor will add rails along the ramp to complete the project. This improvement was made after continued feedback from residents, as well as the Board's goal to make our facilities more ADA compliant. Next steps include the construction of a sidewalk on the east side of the Clubhouse wheelchairs and strollers can better access the facility, although the timing of that project is still undetermined. Eventually, the primary entrance to the Pool could shift to the opening nearest the Playground, with th...

Movie night was supposed to be Thursday, July 6, but because the steps to the clubhouse were just redone, we are postponing until next Thursday night, July 13, at 7 p.m.  We are showing the movie "Moana" to go along with the free snow cones from Kona Ice that will be given out to the first 50 customers from 6- 7 p.m.  Also wear your favorite Hawaiian clothes to the movie in the clubhouse. Remember that Jet's Pizza will also be here from 5-7.  Have a fun Hawaiian night!! submitted by Alice Miley

A belated thanks to everyone who cast ballots for last month’s Annual Meeting. Nearly120 residents – one-fourth of the development – participated, the largest number of election returns in more than a decade, possibly longer. Equally as impressive, nearly 20 residents from all corners of the neighborhood attended the meeting to watch the proceedings and ask questions about the proposed rules changes. All three directors on the slate – Judith Buddenbaum, Kim Isaak and Carolyn Goldenetz – were unanimously re-elected to another two-year term. There were no write-in candidates. The new Board also voted to elect officers for the 2017-18 term: Scott Thien as President, Jason Van Meter as Vice President, and Kim Isaak as Treasurer. Four Board positions will be up for grabs in June 2018. Common questions by residents attending the meeting centered on the rules changes process and what comes next for the proposals. As previously mentioned, the Board needs 51 percent of the neighborhoo...

  Eagle Nest continues our tradition of celebrating the 4th of July at our regular Family Fun Night on Thursday at the pool.  So, on Thursday, June 29, at 6 p.m., we will decorate bikes and wagons with patriotic   streamers and parade down Teel Way around 6:30.  Then at 7 p.m., we will have a pitch-in dinner at the pool.  ENPOA will provide hot dogs and buns, chips, and drinks.   Residents should bring a side dish.  This will be the only Thursday that Jet's Pizza will NOT be here.   Let's celebrate our country! submitted by Alice Miley

Fellow residents, A friendly reminder that ballots for our Annual Meeting and proposed neighborhood rules changes are due by 6:30 p.m. Sunday, June 25 , at the Clubhouse. Simply drop your signed ballot (with lot number) in the Clubhouse mailbox, and we'll add your vote to the dozens that already have been cast. Or, better yet, hand-deliver your ballot to the Board and stay for our meeting! It's worth noting that our proposed changes have attracted overwhelming support from those who have cast ballots so far. In fact, voter participation is higher at this point leading up to the election than it has been in recent years, so your Board obviously gotten your attention with our suggested neighborhood rules changes. Many of you were considerate enough to include hand-written comments, and none has been critical of our efforts (so far). A sampling: From the 7800 block of Teel Way: "Keep it up guys! Thanks! We care!" From the 8000 block of Tanager Lane: " This is...
