This issue of The GRIT includes the annual committee reports presented at the February 21, 2026 Annual Meeting. These reports summarize the work carried out over the past year by about fifty neighborhood volunteers serving across the SHHA Board and committees. Their efforts support everything from safety and infrastructure to events, communications, and governance, and provide a look at what was accomplished in 2025 and what is planned for the year ahead.
As the season continues to change, we also look forward to gathering again as neighbors.
Please join us for the annual Easter Egg Hunt

We hope to see you there!
Search Help Requested – Check Arroyos / Trails / Open Areas
Dear SHHA Residents,
The search continues for William “Neil” McCasland, who was last seen on Friday, February 27, 2026, in the area of Quail Run Ct NE in Sandia Heights.
Family and friends are asking residents to please check arroyos, drainage areas, and open spaces on or near your property, if it is safe to do so. Because Neil is an avid hiker and may have been on foot, searchers are focusing on trails, natural areas, and washes throughout Sandia Heights.
Even a quick look around your yard, arroyo, or nearby open space could be helpful.
If you notice anything that may be relevant, please text BCSO to 847411 or contact the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office Missing Persons Unit at 505-468-7070.
Thank you to everyone in the community for your continued assistance.
