The October 2022 newsletter from Sandia Heights Homeowners Association (SHHA) highlights the urgent need for new board members as several directors' terms are expiring soon, risking a drop below the required number for conducting business. The Board invites SHHA members to consider joining by meeting eligibility requirements and attending monthly meetings, either in person or via Zoom. In a separate article, the Covenant Support Committee addresses the issue of short-term rentals such as Airbnb in the neighborhood, clarifying the restrictions and potential impacts on the community, urging residents to report violations and consider updating unit covenants to disallow such rentals.

The Sandia Heights Homeowners Association newsletter for October 2022 provides valuable information for members, including upcoming events, office closures, and member services. Members can access free notary services, copies, faxes, and contractor evaluation binders, as well as purchase safety vests and tram passes at discounted rates. The newsletter also touches on a crucial topic of radon levels in homes, emphasizing the importance of conducting tests to assess the situation accurately. Additionally, architectural observations discuss the trend of gray color in architecture and offer insights into choosing house colors that blend with the natural landscape, specifically in Sandia Heights.

The newsletter features updates on different curling leagues offered by the Roadrunner Curling Club, including a relaxed, non-competitive league and a more competitive Round Robin League. The newsletter also includes interesting historical facts about curling, such as its early origins and references, along with details on upcoming league start dates. Additionally, there is a section where neighbors can thank each other for their good deeds, with an acknowledgment given to a resident named Vance Behr for his efforts in cleaning up a vacant lot in the neighborhood.
