To all my fellow Eden Islanders, welcome to 2026!

To All My Eden Isle Friends and Neighbors,

Like you, I am looking forward to 2026, anticipating good health, financial security and exciting shared times with my family, friends and neighbors. Looking out at the water, boats passing and birds as they enjoy our community, I have a sense of joy and security. Many of these happy moments are enjoyed because of you, my neighbors, and the Eden Isles HOA and I am thankful. Your HOA has set our goals for 2026. We are confident that our HOA membership will maintain the medians enjoyed as we enter the neighborhood, and the green spaces will be cared for because of you. This, and our designation as a “St Tammany Parish Scenic Neighborhood”, contributes to maintaining favorable property values.

Knowing that the increased price of decorative street signs makes it prohibitive to replace them at this time, it is your HOA’s goal to have them replaced by the parish this year and the unsightly ones removed.

As an Eden Isles resident, I am aware of security issues in the surrounding areas. I am glad to hear from our Sheriff’s office that incidents in our neighborhood remain insignificant. So, if we lock our vehicles and remove items attractive to those pulling on our car door handles, we’ll enjoy a good sense of security in Eden Isles. And our cameras at our entrances are there to both deter and catch those who have committed a crime here.

Another goal of your EIHOA is to establish a strong sense of community here in Eden Isles. First on this list is this newsletter and several more throughout 2026. It will be posted on the website, emailed to members of the HOA and a few printed copies placed in the box on each end of EI Blvd. Secondly, because the cost increase for meetings at Tammany Yacht Club, our general membership quarterly meeting in March will be at Middendorf’s. This will give you an opportunity to purchase a drink, appetizer or meal at the restaurant. I hope you will join your board members there at 6:00 for some social time.

Hmm… do I see an Eden Isles Supper Club in our future? Or maybe you have suggestions for opportunities to get together. I’d love to hear from you. You are invited to become a part of EIHOA in so many ways! As a member, as a participant as opportunities arise, as a volunteer on an occasional basis or a committee or board member. I am dedicated to seeing Eden Isles as a better place in December. Won’t you join me?

Your Servant Leader,

Deb Horrocks,
EIHOA President
