The vision for SNA, as stated in the “Vision
Statement and Goals” is that of a “rural community which continues
to encourage residential and agricultural use of the land with appropriate
compatible commercial development. Central to the vision is the conservation
of our scenic beauty, rural nature and existing natural resources of the
area. We envision constant efforts towards improvement of the safety,
security, heath, welfare, peaceful enjoyment, and economic well being
of our residents.”
Because of the commitment to our vision for SNA, the board is always presented
with interesting issues to address.

Your contributions have been deposited
in the SNA Checking Account at People’s Bank in Taos, NM. Some of
these funds have been used to pay for the annual corporation filing, Escrow
for the land settlement of the Tune Pit, postage, and copying. We expect
we will be using some for lawyers to help remove abandoned cars in the
near future.
A second request for dues was sent out this month. It is too early to
know if it might bring in more funds.Future News Letters
