🍦 The Clocks Changed, But the Scoop’s Right on Time

TOGETHER WITH

Is everyone okay? We’ve survived Halloween and daylight saving time in one weekend.

If you’re reading this through a fog of candy wrappers and confusion about what time it actually is, same. Whether your kids are still riding the sugar high or you’ve already “borrowed” half their Reese’s, we hope your weekend was full of fun (and at least one full-size bar). Now let’s ease into November... slowly, and maybe with a little extra coffee.

In today’s South Side Scoop:

• 🏐 Roncalli Volleyball is State-Bound! After a dominant regional win, the Royals are heading to the 3A State Championship on Nov. 8th.

• 💛 Find local help, fast. From food assistance to housing and healthcare, FindHelp.org connects you (confidentially) to local support resources.

• 👗 New shop alert! Daisy B Boutique just opened in downtown Wanamaker, bringing fashion, gifts, and small-town charm to Southeastern Ave.

Let’s get to it!

Need Help or Know Someone Who Does?
