Veterans Day 2012: Ways to Help A Veteran

There is free food, discounted entertainment and services to give thanks to vets. Now the Small Business Administration has another way to help a those who served in the United States Armed Forces.

Monday marks the federal observance of Veterans Day 2012. The purpose of the day is to show gratitude to those that have served in the armed forces. Some thanks shown this weekend have been through freebies: food, service and entertainment. But the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has another way to say thanks, through its small business programs for veterans.  SBA continues to build on its successful programs for America's military veterans, helping tens of thousands of veterans each year with small business financing, comprehensive business training and counseling and access to federal contracts, according to the administration.

Hazelwood Business Owner: Is Your Listing Missing?

Can't find your Hazelwood-based establishment in our Places directory? Your trusty editor can swing by and help you get a listing.

It's been almost more than a year since Hazelwood Patch first rolled into town and began sending canvassers to collect information for our Places business directory. We took photos, wrote down store hours and contact info and tried to get the good word out about Patch. All in all, we think we put together one of the most comprehensive and informative directories on the web. But months have passed, and your listing may need a quick update or possibly you're newly established. Or maybe, shame on us, we missed it in the first go-round. Click the Places tab on the top of the page and search for your business. If the listing isn't right, or isn't there, send me an email at candace.jarrett@patch.com. We can set up a time for me to come by, and I…
