The December 2000 - January 2001 newsletter from Sandia Heights Homeowners Association features a heartfelt farewell message from former County Commissioner Barbara Seward, expressing gratitude for the community's support during her tenure. The newsletter highlights the successful pushback by SHHA and residents against a proposed large commercial development near Tramway and Paseo del Norte, ultimately leading to the developer withdrawing the application for one year. Additionally, a cautionary piece warns residents about bobcat sightings due to drought conditions and emphasizes vigilance in protecting pets. Themes of community unity and environmental stewardship are evident throughout the issue.

The newsletter contains announcements for important dates such as the County Zoning Hearing, Regular SHHA Meeting, and Annual Membership Meeting. It also informs residents about social events like the SHHA Coffee and the Holiday Open House at the new SHHA Office. The Communications, Membership, and Community Service Committee is diligently updating the SHHA database and preparing the upcoming 2001 Directory/Resident's Guide for members. The new SHHA office in Sandia Heights is now operational with updated equipment and staff to better serve residents, thanks to the effort of volunteers and board members.

Additionally, the Covenant Support Committee addresses issues related to unused vehicles within Sandia Heights neighborhoods, emphasizing the importance of adhering to covenants and county regulations. There is a focus on the discussion about access to Forest Service lands and walking trails in the area, with residents encouraged to voice their opinions on the matter.
