As the chill deepens, HUFF keeps warm 1:30-3:30 PM Thursday at the Sub Rosa Cafe 703 Pacific next to the Bike Church

Agenda Suggestions for HUFF meeting 10-30-25

Most of these items involve brief reports and check in’s.  If we flag an item for action or discussion, more talk—particularly if it’s time sensitive  We hope to maintain the real narrative not the rosy one falsely presented by the City/County staff and politicians.   Additional items may be added at the meeting.
