Neighborhood Beautification Day! Saturday May 2nd

WHEN: Saturday May 2, 2009 at 9:00 am

WHO: You and your dedicated neighbors

WHERE: Meet at the Park Gazebo

Purpose: To make a community effort to keep Eagle Crest a neighborhood of which to be proud.

With all of us pitching in, we can make neighborhood sprucing up a quick and fun activity. Armed with trash bags, we can team up and pick up along our entrances, fence, common areas,vacant lots, and Eagle Crest Park. This will be our first monthly beautification day, so we will also be addressing some much needed park repairs and maintenance.

Please come prepared with any preferred gloves, hats, sunglasses, sunblock, or jackets for your own comfort and protection.

Many of our teens need community service hours for church or school. This is a great opportunity to get them involved in a neighborhood activity, fulfill service requirements, or just develop good civic responsibility; plus it will help fill in that menacing space at the bottom of scholarship applications!

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.
