The January 2011 newsletter begins with an announcement of a Sandia Heights Coffeehouse Concert featuring The Chapmans, a renowned bluegrass band. The event, organized by the SHHA Community Services and Membership Committee, will take place at the Church of the Good Shepherd, offering free admission to SHHA members and their guests, with general admission prices for others. The President's Message expresses gratitude for the success of the Meet and Greet with Santa event, emphasizing community involvement and support, as well as updates on various community projects such as a noise ordinance change and a wastewater and septic tank project. Additionally, it highlights the start of a free pass program allowing SHHA members to access tennis and swimming facilities at the Sandia Heights Four Seasons Club, emphasizing the benefits of SHHA membership and promoting annual club memberships.

An Ace Hardware campaign aims to collect holiday lights to raise funds for childhood cancer research and support families of children with cancer. LED lights are promoted for being cost-effective and safer than traditional lights, with a recycling program in place to prevent old lights from ending up in landfills. Meanwhile, the Sandia Heights Homeowners Association shares approved residential projects, and past articles from the Architectural Control Committee cover topics such as white roofing guidelines, radon awareness, and the necessity of hiring licensed contractors.
