Before we get to the list of Veterans Day closures/changes/events (partly previewed Monday), first a few words about non-Veterans Day events: More chances to demonstrate that yes, you CAN get involved with your neighborhood — the Junction Neighborhood Organization (JuNO) meets at 6:30 pm at Ginomai (SW corner of 42nd/Genesee), with the agenda including a development update from Harbor Properties, which also is continuing to seek your opinion on what kind of retail should be in its buildings. And 2 meetings at 7 pm — Admiral Neighborhood Association @ Admiral Church, and Fauntleroy Community Association at Fauntleroy Schoolhouse. Now, as for Veterans Day-related events, closures, and changes — including two free offers for veterans — here’s our list:

First, the free offers (and a chance for you to help those in need):

FOOD DRIVE, AND FREE MASSAGES FOR VETERANS: Dr. Catherine Joy Sparks and Sparks Chiropractic Health Center’s third annual Fall Food Drive, 8 am-7 pm, free services provided: New patient examinations, spinal adjustments, and mini-massages at no charge, donations recommended, to benefit West Seattle Food Bank. Meantime, all veterans will also receive a coupon for a free massage. 4204 SW Oregon, by appointment at 206/938-3175
