The August 2006 newsletter starts by announcing the annual Sandia Heights Community Picnic at the Sandia Heights Four Seasons Pool and Tennis Club, featuring entertainment like a live band and wolves, with a special guest appearance by the Albuquerque Police security helicopter. It also mentions the SHHA Coffeehouse event with the Santa Cruz River Band set for September 30th, sharing details about the band members and the musical program to be expected. Another significant highlight includes an update on a Cell Phone Tower request from T-Mobile, initially supported but later rescinded due to objections from residents, prompting a public hearing.

Residents of Sandia Heights are urged to be mindful of their pets' behavior while sharing trails with others, emphasizing that not everyone may be comfortable around dogs. Dog owners are advised to carry a leash, control their pets, and clean up after them to ensure a pleasant experience for all trail users. Additionally, residents with dogs that bark excessively are encouraged to consider using no-bark devices and can contact Bernalillo County Department of Animal Control and Protection for complaints about noisy animals. The SHHA office also stresses the importance of proper trash disposal to prevent animals from accessing it and advises on classified ad placements and office hours.
