1. Community Announcement: Community Preservation Committee now accepting applications for FY 2028 (lexobserver.org) — Lexington residents and organizations can now apply for Community Preservation Act funding for the FY 2028 cycle, with applications due November 2. Eligible projects include open space, historic resources, recreation, and community housing.

2. Volleyball Recap: Tough Loss for Stoneham (maxpreps.com) — Stoneham volleyball is reeling from a 3-0 loss to Watertown, continuing a tough stretch that leaves the Spartans at 1-7 this season. Their next chance to rebound comes Monday at 5:30 p.m., when they host in-conference rival Lexington. The matchup could be a key test against strong competition and a good opportunity for local fans to show support.
3. Building more than strength at Get In Shape For Women (lexobserver.org) — A longtime Lexington fitness studio, Get In Shape For Women, is entering a new chapter as beloved owner Caryl Dlugy retires after 20 years and hands the reins to new owners. Regulars praise the studio's strong sense of community and accountability, and the incoming team says they plan to preserve the welcoming environment that has supported Lexington women's health for years.

The Massachusetts-based charity has equipped thousands of police dogs nationwide, and continues to seek donations and volunteers to expand protection for working K9s like Lexington's own four-legged officers.
