The community of Sandia Heights addressed various concerns in the March 2008 newsletters. The President emphasized the importance of enforcing covenants and guidelines, particularly regarding safety on roads and the need for speed control measures like speed bumps. Residents were urged to be patient, considerate, and work together to create a safer environment for all, whether drivers or pedestrians. Additionally, legal expenses and responsibilities regarding common areas were discussed, highlighting individual homeowner responsibility for repairs in most cases and the limited common areas in the community.

The newsletters also featured updates on association finances, including cash flow and account balances. The treasurer's report detailed inflow and outflow, providing transparency on where funds were allocated. Another highlight was the call for volunteers to join the Sandia Heights Homeowners Association (SHHA) Board and assist in maintaining the community's quality of life and character.
