The Promotions Committee has had several meetings in recent weeks and is very happy to bring to you, now, the denim Centennial shirts with the beautiful logo on them. Remember, Connie Sambor designed this logo!! They can be seen at every business in town and orders may be placed there and paid for there. There is possible ‘next day’ delivery within town. For any shirts you want the committee to mail out of town, there will be a shipping fee. The shirts may be viewed on the Max web-site and ordered through there also.

Remember, the Centennial gets closer everyday and histories are still needed; the Library still needs recipes and hints for their book; and of course a good attendance at the Centennial Planning Meetings will help to bring it all together easier so we all can enjoy the event on June 30, July 1 and 2, 2006!
