Ruf  HUFF Agenda Suggestions 12-5-24

Due to late night return from a Berkeley trip—securing some November Street Sheets and December Street Spirits the final agenda will be distributed at the Thursday meeting.  Due to the Thanksgiving meal at the Vets Hall, this Ruf HUFF agenda is largely the same as the earlier 11-21 Agenda.

Items followed by underlined on-line links can be viewed “at home” or  “in the library”.   Many items  are really reminders of where we’d be going if and when we find the person power, time, interest, and resources.  We are gathering information and evidence to challenge the Dominant (False) Narrative.  Organize! If anyone has questions, please raise them.
