Max News 5-16-05 The Max Library needs empty paper towel tubes and empty toilet paper tubes for their Summer Reading programs. Please leave them at the Library or put them through the Return Book door. Thankyou! Summer Reading at the Max Public Library will begin the first week in June. It is important for children to keep up on their reading during the summer months. There are alot of fun events they take part in during the summer reading time, too. Summer Recreation of T-ball, soft ball, and baseball will start in June. Please contact Gary Narum at 529-4822 to have your child enrolled in this. The 'Clean Up' in Max on Saturday went very well. Thank you to all who helped out. Keep cleaning, company is coming! The Max Public School graduation ceremony will be at 2:00 on Sunday, May 22nd. Congratulations Seniors! The first week-end in June will be the City-Wide rummage sale and Flea Market. Contact the Centennial Cafe at 679-8268 or Karla Erickson at 679-2536 if you are interested in having a rummage sale. You may set up in the Centennial parking lot or have it where you choose. A map listing the sales will be available. This is the same week-end as the Highway #23 sales so if enough signs are out, we may draw people attending those sales, and they may draw people who attend our sales. Guess it depends on which way the people are traveling on Highway #83! The Max Senior Citizens will be having their monthly potluck at 6:00 on Friday, May 27th. Join and enjoy the fun they offer at the Center. The Centennial planning meeting was held Monday night with close to two dozen attending. The Centennial Fundraiser winner of the $50 was Holly McElwain of Minot. Congratulations, Holly! The deadline for getting information and/or pictures in for the Alumni book and Centennial book, is February 1, 2006. The committee hopes to have the books available April 1, 2006. It was decided to break down the information into two books as one book would be too big for proper binding. You just send in your information and the committee will make sure it goes into the proper book. We are asking food venders for the street, food caterers for the meals and picnics, and craft vendors for the craft show, that would like to take part in our Centennial, to please contact us. Jody Gullickson and Edwin Schmidt are Co-chairmans and can be reached at 679-2264 and 679-2551. The scheduling of each day's events are more and more complete with each meeting. Friday, June 30, 2006 there will be an opening ceremony at 9:00 a.m. on Main Street with the raising of the flag and announcements will be made at that time. The Golf Tournement will be Friday morning at the Garrison Golf Course. Contact Jarvis Jungling at 679-2762 if you are interested in taking part in this. Alumni registration will begin at 9 A.M. at the school that Friday and the Memory rooms will be set up. Friday afternoon there are hopes of having a style show but volunteers and suggestions are needed. During the afternoon they expect to have a Jam Session at the school, featuring Gordon Lindquist, Wayne Kabanuck, and others. There will not be an Alumni banquet during this celebration, so if there is anyone who would like to cater a meal and/or picnic for Friday evening, please contact us.
