The May 2009 newsletter covers the upcoming SHHA Annual Meeting & Town Hall happening at the Church of the Good Shepherd, where members can vote on proposed bylaw amendments, meet new officers, elect board members, and express concerns at the Town Hall Meeting. Volunteers are encouraged to fill board vacancies and serve on the Architectural Control Committee to support the association. Additionally, a notice invites members to a Town Hall Meeting with Commissioner Wiener to discuss speed humps at the Church of Good Shepherd on May 4.

The content also includes updates on the Treasurer Report with detailed cash flow and account balances, announcements regarding office hours, tram passes, and safety vests available for sale, along with information about the Sandia Heights Security Patrol statistics for March. Furthermore, committees like the Covenant Support Committee emphasize pet owner responsibilities and address light pollution concerns. Members are informed about a new swim pass program with the Four Seasons Club and the Bylaws Committee's sessions to discuss approved amendments, aiming for better association management and member service.

The newsletter discussed various requests for architectural changes within the community, such as landscaping approvals, fence repairs, and patio additions. Additionally, there was a detailed report on water quality and supply from Sandia Peak Utility, highlighting plans to ensure water availability for the community and addressing common queries about water sources and distribution, emphasizing the importance of water conservation. The document also included community event announcements, a bulletin board section for local programs and gatherings, and updates from Bernalillo County District 4 Commissioner, Michael C. Wiener, on initiatives like inmate work programs and addressing water usage.

Residents are reminded of the dangers of Chamisa, a non-native invasive plant in Sandia Heights that can cause issues with septic systems due to its deep-rooted nature. Proper removal involves digging out the roots several inches below the ground to prevent regrowth. The upcoming annual meeting of the association will take place at the Church of the Good Shepherd on Tennyson, featuring refreshments and a chance for residents to engage with the community.
