The October 2004 newsletter includes an announcement about a photo contest for the 2005 Sandia Heights Resident Directory, encouraging residents to submit photos related to the area. The newsletter also emphasizes the importance of completing contractor evaluations and submitting them to the office for publication on the website. Additional content covers a neighborhood art exhibit featuring various local artists and provides details about a Traffic, Safety, & Environment Committee's efforts to gather input on traffic calming devices installed on San Rafael. Town meeting announcements, member classifieds, and updates on the treasurer's report are included, alongside notes from residents regarding bike etiquette, cats roaming the neighborhood, and the importance of political sign removal, showcasing the community's engagement and concerns.

Get ready for the fall season with gardening tips from Dan Caudillo such as harvesting tomatoes before the first freeze and planting various bulbs like tulips and daffodils. As October progresses, remember to cut back on watering frequency, prepare your outdoor pond for freezing temperatures, and adjust your clocks as Daylight Saving Time ends on Halloween. In early November, start your fall/winter garden cleanup by cutting perennials, shaping shrubs, and feeding lawn and outdoor plants with winterizer fertilizer. Additionally, set water lilies to the deepest part of the pond to prevent them from freezing.
