Parade at 11:00 am

Everyone should plan to attend the annual Fourth of July Parade and Picnic. This event has always been a neighborhood favorite for getting out and meeting new neighbors and joining the kids as they decorate their tricycles, bicycles, and unicycles in festive red,white,and blue. Prizes will be awarded to the boy and girl with the most patriotic flair. Parade participants will meet at the park at 10:40 and ready to begin the extended parade route trek at 11:00am.

After the parade, return to the park for a Hot Dog Picnic and social. Your HOA will be supplying Hot Dogs, Buns, Drinks, and utensils. Please pitch in by bringing either a dessert or side dish. [Even numbered addresses bring desserts, Odd numbered addresses bring side dishes] This will be a great opportunity to finally put some names to the faces that you pass by each day.

As a reminder, we will be holding our regularly scheduled Neighborhood Beautification Day on the next Saturday July 11th at 9:00 am. Routine cleanup will be accompanied by the delivery of fresh sand for the park, so we will need some hardy volunteers to assist in leveling out the new sand.

SPRING CLEANUP : JUNE 6th and 7th

Your HOA is sponsoring a spring cleanup for Eagle Crest Residents. If you would like to rid your garage, storage closet, etc of larger waste items, you will notice that dumpsters will be stationed at two locations in the neighborhood. They will be located on empty lots to the east and west of the main Eagle Crest entrance.. In addition, resident Fred Pfeffer owner of SHRED PROS, has generously offered to provide a shredding truck on Saturday from 9:00 - 12:00 am, to help you dispose of any sensitive or personal documents with confidence and eaze.This will be located in Eagle Crest circle.

We hope to make Spring Cleanup / Dumpster Days an annual tradition here in Eagle Crest in part of our continuing efforts to help improve our neighborhood. Please be considerate of those dumping after you by keeping your refuse contained or bundled so as to maximize dumpster capacity.Give a Hoot! Don't Pollute! And pitch in by grabbing any loose garbage you may see on your way to the dumpsters. Working together, let us keep Eagle Crest a neighborhood of which to be proud.

1st Monthly Beautification Day Success!

A Big Thank you to all who pitched in to help on our first monthly neighborhood beautification day! We started some much needed repair and maitenance on our Eagle Crest Park equipment, while several Father/son teams picked up trash along our entrance and fence along Cornhusker road. Weeding and trimming our common areas was a big job, but achieved handily by hardworking and dedicated volunteers. Keep your eyes peeled for the yellow signs at the entrances to serve as reminder of our next monthly cleanup which is scheduled for June 6th. Each first Saturday of the months May thru October, please plan to meet at the Park Gazebo at 9:00am . This will serve as a quick rally point for us to divide the workload, team up, and clean up. With increased participation and awareness, each month will be quick, fun , and beneficial.

In addition to monthly "Neighborhood Beautification Days", on the weekend of June 6th and 7th your HOA will be sponsoring a spring cleanup for Eagle Crest Residents. If you would like to rid your garage, storage closet, etc of larger waste items, we will be stationing dumpsters at a few locations in the neighborhood. In addition, resident Fred Pfeffer owner of SHRED PROS, will be providing a shredding truck, to help you dispose of any sensitive or personal documents with confidence and eaze.

Look for updates on the exact location of dumpsters and Shred Pros as we near June 6th!

1st Annual Easter Egg Hunt

1st Annual
Easter Egg Hunt

Your Eagle Crest Homeowners Association sponsored the 1st annual Easter Egg Hunt for all of our neighborhood kids and grandkids. Families of Eagle Crest enjoyed fabulous weather, good fellowship, and a surprise visit from the Easter Bunny! At 2:00pm this Saturday, Eagle Crest Park provided the ideal outdoor setting for kids young and old to sharpen their gathering skills as they hunted for eggs and prizes. Kids seemed jittery as Tom Thomas corralled them into three age groups for the hunt. All eyes were lined up watchfully as each participant scoped out their ideal route for collection.

Three lucky participants were prize winners and received one of the grand prize baskets.

Winner in youngest group, Kelsey poses here with her younger brother as they examine their loot.

Winner of the 9 and older group marvels at his good fortune as he poses here. When asked about his strategy for the hunt, he said,"You have to move and think like a rabbit".

Winner in the ages 6-8 group was Zoey, seen here with her mother Felicia.

Special thanks for preparation and organization goes Tammy Barthuly and her sister Kim as the Easter Bunny. Donations to this event were from the Barthuly, Thomas, and Fricke families; and it's success is owed to YOU and all your neighbors for helping to make Eagle Crest a great community!

Eagle Crest Covenants

This link should lead to a copy of the Eagle Crest covenants.
http://www.s194657378.onlinehome.us/

Homeowners Association has been made responsible for enforcing the existing neighborhood covenants. Every homeowner should have a copy of these covenants. If not, please request a copy from one of the board members. Please take the time to reread your covenants and familiarize yourself with them.

Any approvals for improvements to your lot/home that are required by the Covenants will be issued by the Homeowners Association Board. The HOA Board has developed a form to be used by our neighborhood residents to request any such approvals. Again, these request forms are available from any of the current board members or downloadable here. These-completed forms should be mailed to the post Office Box listed above.

The process for obtaining the approvals required by our neighborhood covenants have not always been clearly delineated or consistently followed. Effective with the August 25, 2008 assignment by the former Declarant, the following process which has been approved by the Eagle Crest HOA Board shall be as follows:

1. The Homeowner shall obtain and complete the "Architectural Approval Application" form that is now available from board members or online.
2. The Homeowner should mail this Application to the Eagle Crest Homeowners Association Board at P.O. Box 460908, Papillion,NE 68046.
3. The Homeowner will receive a written response from the Board no later than 30 days from the postmark date on your Application.
4. This is the only acceptable procedure for requesting approvals for improvements to your property that are specified in the Eagle crest covenants.

Thank-you for your support of both this procedure and in complying with the existing covenants in the neighborhood.

The Homeowners Association is also responsible for maintaining the exterior fence along Cornhusker and may have additional maintenance responsibilities once the City of Papillion annexes our neighborhood. For example, they may not pay for upkeep of the islands, entrances, or pay for maintaining the sprinklers in the park or the water usage required.
