The November 2014 newsletter includes an article urging residents to contribute to the Roadrunner Food Bank for the holiday season, emphasizing the impact of food drives and listing the most needed food items. It also features a detailed guide on preventing water pipes from freezing during cold weather, both outside and inside the home. The issue also touches on the settlement of the County Line case regarding outdoor music concerts, and an appeal for volunteers to join the SHHA Board or committees, emphasizing the importance of community involvement and offering guidance for interested individuals.

The newsletter includes a reminder for residents to check and update their listings in the 2014 Resident Directory before November 7th for the upcoming 2015 edition. It also emphasizes the importance of adhering to the Bernalillo County Code for light pollution in Sandia Heights, with specific regulations outlined such as lights staying off between 11:00 pm and sunrise, and appropriate shielding requirements to prevent unnecessary light pollution complaints.

Additionally, the newsletter covers the process of modifying Unit Covenants, highlighting that changes must be approved by a majority vote of homeowners in the respective Unit and subsequently filed with the County. A section titled "Covenant Support Committee" discusses issues around retaliatory behavior in filing complaints and urges residents to approach covenant violations with a focus on correction rather than retaliation. Moreover, the content touches on septic tank maintenance advice, advocating for routine pumping every five years to prevent costly repairs and emphasizing the importance of regular maintenance to avoid potential damage.
