Max News 7-26-04

Today, Thursday the 29 th, the Max Library will be having its last indoor program. The theme today is about “Going Home”. Next Thursday, August 5 th, is the Summer Reading Picnic at the Max Community Park. This starts at 11:30 A.M. There will be lunch, games, and prizes.

Just a few days after the Library Picnic, Max’s Annual Pasta days will be held. Friday and Saturday, August 6 th., and 7 th. Rummage sales throughout the city and nearby farms will be held starting Friday afternoon and running until noon on Saturday, or later. Please contact Joann McElwain at 679-2751 by August 2 nd. to get your rummage sale listed on the map. The very small fee for this also helps with the advertising that Joann does, so it is only fair that all rummage sale participants notify Joann of their sale.

You’ll find notices of Saturday’s activities in town.

Another Centennial Planning meeting will be held at 7:30 on Thursday, August 12 th. Please remind relatives and friends to attend. Committees, please come with information.

Remember to get your recipes and hints to the Max Library for their Centennial Cookbook. As of now they do not have enough for even a booklet!
