Max News 12-19-05

My apologies to those I missed last week, as having moved out of Max. Ed and Sally Kabanuck now live in Minot and Vi Kostenko now lives in Garrison. If there is anyone who would like their new address put in the Max News, please let me know.

The Sunnyslope Homemakers held their annual Christmas luncheon at Margaret Scurlock's, with a program and party with games and prizes. Four members drove down from Minot and four members from Max all enjoyed the festivities and the singing of Christmas Carols.

JoNell Samson recently returned from spending 3 weeks with her daughter DeLila and Mike Rasmussen in Rockwall, Texas. While there she met and enjoyed loving her new great grandson, Charles Sebastian Kelly, age 3 and 1/2 months. Charles is the son of Renee' and Leslie Kelly of Dallas, Texas. DeLila and Mike are his grandparents. Congratulations to all of you!

The December Centennial Planning meeting was held with these reminders:

Still looking for an answer as to why the Max Legion Post was given a different number.

Still looking for more business and/or family histories to come in before the February first deadline.

Still looking for pictures to put in the Centennial History book.

Still looking for pictures to put in the Alumni book.

Still looking for more recipes for the Library's Centennial Cookbook.

Still looking for businesses and/or families to purchase advertisements to go in the books. These may be full page, 1/2 page, 1/4 page, or business card sized ads. Pictures may be included in the ads, but original photos are needed, and will be returned. Contact Edwin Schmidt.

And now, looking for people who can help in typing out the histories that have come in. Please contact Kathy Huettl or Dellora Schmidt.

Brad Wilson from Viking Screen Prints in Garrison attended our meeting, telling us about various fabrics, prices, and styles of banners to put up on the poles in Max. This will be discussed further at our next meeting, which will be on a Tuesday so you may attend the Monday night home basketball games. Mark your calendars for January 17th. at 7:30!

At the January meeting, a man from Turtle Lake will come to talk to us about him taking videos and pictures during our Centennial Celebration.

The Bank Robbery group is now scheduled to put on their show twice on Saturday .

There will be the "Oddity" displays both Friday and Saturday, with the author speaking to the crowds.

Having the Russian dance group come and perform will be looked into.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year - we'll be seeing you at the next Centennial Planning meeting, Tuesday, January 17th. at 7:30. New Year's Resolution - attend city meetings and be involved in the city you call home!
