Grit October 2026 image
This month includes the SHHA Board’s statement on the proposed Sandia Pueblo land transfer and an essay by Michelle Hegmon examining the history of the T’uf Shur Bien Preservation Trust Area and the current proposal. You’ll also find an update on the PNM appeal and other Board activities.

Around the neighborhood, we look back at the 4th annual Ice Cream Social, meet the people behind newly opened La Luz Veterinary Care, and introduce a proposed Neighbor-to-Neighbor Assistance Network connecting residents who need occasional help with neighbors willing to lend a hand.

Also inside: science fair judges needed for local elementary and middle schools, upcoming events and volunteer opportunities, a recipe for potato pancakes (deruny), and original artwork from a Sandia Heights artist.
