The Halloween party held at the Max Library on October 28 th for the pre-school and kindergarten children was a lot of fun. We had games, crafts, and lunch was served. The following children were in attendance: Alex Schroeder, Dalton Hauf, Hope Scheresky, Tyrel Olson, Trevor Schmidt, and Jessica, Christina, and Stephanie Bingham. Thank you children for coming and thank you to all who helped.

As a part of the Max Centennial celebration, there will be Ethnic Food booths set up in the Civic Center. This will provide an opportunity for area churches and youth groups (or any interested organization) to set up a booth and sell their food item. This is a great fundraiser for participating organizations. At this time, the ethic food committee is asking for interested participants to please call Stacy Tomlinson at (701) 679-2465. You do not have to decide what your group will be cooking/selling at this time. The committee just wants to know about how many booths we will be working with. Thanks!

This Sunday, November 7 th, the Max Baptist Church will be having a Singspiration at 3:30 with a potluck supper to follow. Come and share your talent.

The next day, Monday November 8 th is the monthly Civic Club meeting and the 50/50 drawing will be held. The 50/50 cash amount to be given away at this meeting will be large as many 50/50 tickets were sold during the recent Civic Club Steak Fry. Come to the meeting to see if you won but don’t forget to buy your 50/50 ticket first!
