The newsletter features a special meeting announcement regarding the proposed amendments to the Bylaws that need to be voted on due to changes from the annual meeting date approved in June 2013. These amendments include adjusting the annual meeting date and decreasing the minimum requirement of Board members. Additionally, there is information about the Roadrunner Holiday Food Drive to provide support by collecting non-perishable food items for those in need, with a list of most needed items such as canned goods, rice, and baby food.

The November 2013 issue of The GRIT covers topics such as covenant violations related to light pollution, emphasizing proper lighting practices to maintain the night sky's visibility. Additionally, the newsletter provides essential tips on preventing water pipe freezing during cold weather, both inside and outside the home. Advice includes disconnecting outdoor hoses, insulating outdoor faucets, and leaving indoor faucets dripping to prevent pipe damage. Furthermore, the ACC Activity Log lists various approved projects, from re-stuccoing and landscaping to installing photovoltaic panels and replacing fences, reflecting ongoing community improvements. Several community announcements are highlighted, including holiday events, Thanksgiving service details, and updates on the Sandia Heights "Cork & Fork" dining activity under new management.
