These are being held in the Max School gym. How soon they grow up! The schedule of events for Max’s upcoming Centennial celebration is posted under “Centennial” on the Max web-site. You need to click on that title to bring up the schedule. For those not receiving the Alumni letter, there is a need to know if you are interested in attending the Saturday evening supper. You may e-mail me at emz@rtc.coop; or write Max Centennial at P.O. Box #233 stating how many will attend. You will purchase the tickets etc. when you arrive but the caterer needs a ‘count’ as to how many he will be serving. This is for the Saturday night Centennial Supper. More public information will be out soon with information on Max’s Centennial and this will be helpful for those who did not graduate from Max High School, yet lived in Max or had family living here, or even for anyone else interested in taking in the Centennial celebration. The next Centennial meeting will be at the Max Civic Center on Monday, May 15 th at 7:30. Come see the banners! “Be like a postage stamp – stick to one thing until you get there.” Josh Billings
