JUNCTION NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: Live and/or work in or near The Junction? 6:30 pm at the Sisson Building (Senior Center), you’re invited. From JuNO leader René Commons:

Our agenda at this meeting will be very informal. We will have a discussion of neighborhood initiatives and plan what JuNO will be doing next year. It’s not as dull as it sounds — we are making plans for the New Year: 2016! Top of the agenda is the volunteer effort/plan for community contacts for the Emergency Hub.

Thank you to all of you that have been actively involved and supporting of JuNO in 2015 and these past few years since our 2013 relaunch! We couldn’t have done it without you!! JuNO can continue to grow with a little help from more passionate community minded people like you. … If you are interested in taking a leading role or small role in West Seattle JuNO please plan to attend or send an email. JuNO is our West Seattle Junction’s non-profit community council. JuNo is made up of neighborhood volunteers passionate about making our West Seattle Junction neighborhood the best it can be. Many of us work full time and lead busy lives with family and other community work. JuNO meetings are once a month. JuNO is scouting for volunteers with creative ideas to organize activities and get the word out on social media! 2016 could be your year to launch that neighborhood event or improvement you have been thinking about!
