The Second Cup: October 5 Edition

Good morning, Lake Saint Louis!

Starting today, you'll be seeing our Who's Hiring column on Wednesdays. Let us know if you or anyone who know has found a job with a tip from our column. We like hearing good news!

Along with the whole "good news" subject, Patch is looking for local heroes, people who have contributed to the community or who are doing something wonderful that deserves recognition. If you know someone like that, give me a shout.

All of us St. Charles area Patch editors are putting together lots of fun Halloween content. Is your organization, school or neighborhood group sponsoring an event? Costume swap? Trunk-or-treat? Did you know that you can enter events into the Patch calendar yourself? It's really easy, but if you're pressed for time, just give me a buzz (636-357-6173) or drop me an email or Facebook message me, and I'll get it on the calendar for you.

Speaking of Facebook, don't forget to suggest the Lake Saint Louis Patch Facebook page to your friends. You'll get a quick link to all the stories we post, and you can also ask questions or post your own links to things that you'd like to get out to the community.

Today in history, courtesy of History.com: In 1947, Americans had their first opportunity to view a presidential address on television. Harry Truman's speech encouraged Americans to help starving Europeans recovering from World War II.
