The newsletter begins with a call to residents to report any suspicious activity in the neighborhood to the Security Department, highlighting the importance of community cooperation in preventing crime. Additionally, there is a mention of starting a formal "neighborhood watch program" with an invitation for interested residents to contact a Board Member for more information.

Meetings and plans for formulating objectives through member input are detailed.
Further on, a notice regarding garbage collection during holidays is provided, informing residents of schedule changes. An announcement welcomes a new Board Member, Larry Greher, and shares a bit about his background and hopes for community enhancement. The document includes various classified ads for services like tree transplanting, construction, private investigations, house security, and church services. It also offers a recipe for Pepper Cheese Biscuits and provides details about social bridge gatherings for residents.
The newsletter dated February 2, 1988, discusses fire hydrant safety issues in Sandia Heights, as Fire Chief Speakman highlighted various violations of ordinances concerning hydrant obstruction. Property owners were reminded to ensure a three-foot clear space around hydrants with the base plate exposed to avoid fire department access issues, potential property damage, legal complications, and insurance rating adjustments. Cooperation in complying with County Ordinances was requested from residents, emphasizing the importance of maintaining unobstructed access to hydrants for fire safety. Additionally, a section on the Sandia Heights Opera Group's upcoming events was included, inviting residents interested in opera to join performances of various shows and providing contact information for participation inquiries.
