The concert is organized by the Sandia Heights Homeowners Association Community Service & Membership Committee and will offer free admission to SHHA members and their overnight houseguests. The newsletter also includes a message urging residents to be mindful of drought impacts on wildlife, particularly black bears in the Sandia Mountains and provides guidelines for responsible behavior in bear country.
