We extend our deepest sympathy to Dolores Okins in the loss of her husband, Gayle. Many of you remember Grandma’s Kitchen and Grandpa’s Laundry. Gayle was Grandpa! Gayle’s beautiful woodworking talents are seen throughout Max and especially in the building that once housed Grandma’s Kitchen. His Indian artifacts and beautiful displays of them in that restaurant will remain in our memory for a long time. Gayle will always be remembered. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Dolores, and with your family. With the change in the Max Library’s schedule, the Story Hour will be held on Wednesday, the 15 th, instead of Thursdays. For those able to get this paper on Wednesday, it is important to take note of the change of day and inform others who may have children who want to come to this Story Hour. The time is 10:30. This Sunday, March 19 from 9 until 1 P.M. scrambled eggs/ham, pancakes, and a beverage will be served at the Garrison City Auditorium. This benefits the Garrison - Max Ambulance. Monday, March 20 at 7:30 is another Centennial Planning meeting. One month closer to the city of Max’s Centennial Celebration! Your attendance is important to making this a ‘once in a lifetime’ celebration to be proud of. Last Friday’s monthly Senior Citizen meeting was well attended with 19 there. The Max Senior Citizens now have 36 members. You may join at any time. And you may then enjoy the Senior Center every day! Their next meeting will be Thursday, April 13 th. at 2:00. Their potluck will be held on another day starting in April. This April meeting is on a Thursday as that Friday is Good Friday and there are church services and other plans for many. They would like you to bring a baby or graduation picture of yourself to this meeting and a ‘now’ picture will be taken of you. These pictures will then be displayed on a bulletin board during the Max Centennial. Different ideas were presented on how these pictures will be viewed. Older Americans Day will be held on Saturday, May 13 th from 9 to 4. Kyle’s Greenhouse will be here with their plants and some special ‘flowers and vegetables’ will be for sale too! And let’s not forget the birds and the butterflies, maybe even the bats! You will just have to come and see what that is all about! Only a couple of dozen people attended Monday night’s Civic Club Fish Fry. Election of officers was held with Robin Plesuk being voted in as President; Karla Erickson as Vice-President; and Susan Halverson remaining on as Secretary/Treasurer. April first is the deadline for purchasing tickets to guess the ‘plunging’ date and time of the Dr. Pepper pop can. A good number of banners have already been purchased by individuals, families, and businesses. These will adorn the poles on Main Street and other areas during the Max Centennial Celebration and after. The beautiful full-size quilt made by the Max Catholic Ladies’ Aid is on display now in Bremer Bank on Max’s Main Street.
