The May 2006 newsletter from Sandia Heights Homeowners Association announces the upcoming SHHA Annual Meeting at the Church of the Good Shepherd on Tennyson where elections for new officers and Board members will take place, along with a Town Hall Meeting for residents to express their concerns. There is a call for community involvement in making important decisions regarding amendments to the Bylaws, outdoor lighting restrictions, and capital improvement projects. The newsletter also highlights upcoming events like playgroups for families, provides crime prevention tips from the Security Patrol, and lists security incidents from March 2006.

The newsletter outlines the roles and requirements for the various committees within the homeowners association, specifying rules such as limits on the number of committees a director can serve on, the composition of committees, and reporting procedures. Changes are proposed for committees such as Finance, Communications and Publications, and Traffic and Safety, aiming to streamline operations and improve efficiency. Additionally, guidelines for conducting internal financial reviews instead of full audits are detailed, aligning with best practices for organizations. The document also includes important information for residents on wildfire preparedness, emphasizing safety measures such as maintaining defensible zones, creating firebreaks, and having a fire escape plan in place.

Residents are encouraged to join the board and volunteer for various committees to help achieve community goals. More members are needed for the board to operate successfully, and those interested can reach out to Bill Johnson for consideration. The newsletter also mentions the opportunity for SHHA members to submit photos for the 2007 Directory and requests references for yard cleanup services to add to the association's evaluations.
