The Sandia Heights Homeowners Association is seeking candidates for five Director positions on the Board, to be elected for a three-year term. Directors are expected to support the mission of the association, which includes promoting community interests and maintaining the quality of life in Sandia Heights. The Board aims to have representation from each of the 12 districts within Sandia Heights to ensure diverse interests are heard and recognized.

The Covenant Support Committee is reviewing the 38 individual sets of covenants in Sandia Heights to enhance property values and simplify covenant adherence. The committee is working on consolidating covenants, defining terms, and ensuring clarity and enforceability. Additionally, the Traffic and Safety Committee emphasizes the importance of obeying speed limits in the community to ensure the safety of all residents. Candidates interested in joining the SHHA Board are encouraged to submit resumes, and residents are urged to provide input on covenant revisions and park development.

The newsletter covers various topics such as community involvement in county meetings, updates on the Cedar Hill Park project, announcements for events like the Wine Tasting Event and an educational series on Islam, as well as services and classified ads offered within the community. It also includes information about the SHHA Communications and Publications Committee activities, a directory update, and advice on computer problems. Additionally, there is a calendar of gardening tips shared by Dan Cano and a section providing information on organic and biological pesticides. The content also pays tribute to a former SHHA board member who passed away.

A presentation on signing the Hummingbird Garden by Dan Caudill of Sandia Environmental Design was held in January, drawing a good turnout and providing valuable insights into hummingbirds. The upcoming March program will focus on Lesser Known Native Plants for Landscaping and will be presented by landscape designer Laurie Lange at the Owens' residence on Honeysuckle Drive. Those interested in attending as guests or joining the Wildflower Club can find more information by contacting Khondch Payne or sending a membership fee to Susan Cook.
