Max News 7-03-06 Congratulations to Max on its fabulous Centennial celebration! The many thankyou's received by the many who came from far and near, made it all worth it. As the weeks go on, there will be more information on number of people attending, winners of the many drawings and auctions, and other information. There are plenty of Max History books available and you may pick them up at the Max Public Library, open Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and at the Schmidt Museum. You may request them by mail by sending $25 plus $5 postage if you want it mailed out, to Max Centennial, P.O.Box #233, Max, N. Dak. 58759-0233. Those of you that have already paid and are waiting for yours to arrive in the mail, you will be receiving them by the middle of July. If you have any questions about the Max History book you have received, please contact us at P.O. Box 233 or e-mail me, Margaret Zaderaka, at emz@rtc.coop. You may also phone Edwin Schmidt at 701 679-2551 or 679-2422. There are plenty of Max Public Library Centennial recipe books available too. You may also buy them at the Max Public Library or by mail. They cost $15. plus $5 for postage. You may order both through the same address and your check may be made out to the Max Centennial. The amount for the recipe book will be given to the library. In Garrison you may pick up a recipe book at This That N More and at the Sakakawea Gift Gallery. Travis Samson and the community would like to express their special thanks to JacobWickman of Towner and Adam Monk of Arnegard, Trevor Kohler of Benedict and Tracy Samson of Max for all their help in keeping the city and streets clean during the long days and nights of the Centennial. Thankyou very much, Travis for the wonderful job you and your co-workers did! We appreciate you! And we all thank Edwin Schmidt for the use of his trailer and Pure Honda in Minot for letting the clean-up crew use a new four-wheeler for the job. The Post Office sold close to 200 of the large post cards with 3 scenes of Max, in days gone by, and the envelope they had a picture of the livery stable across the front of. They will still have these post cards and envelopes for sale as long as the supply lasts. They will continue to do the Centennial Cancellation stamp throughout July. We want to thank our Postmistress Carmel Weiland for having these made for our city. Tomorrow, Friday, July 7th. the Max Senior Citizens will be having their monthly meeting at 2 p.m. at their center. This is a week earlier than the normal schedule. Activities continue on in Max with Good News Club starting on Monday, July 10 at 10 a.m. at the City Park. And in the evening on July 10th., Max Civic Club will be meeting at the Civic Center at 7:30. Our Savior's Lutheran Bible School will be held July 17 - 21st. from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the church. Please phone 679-2246 to pre-register. And again, the Centennial meetings aren't over but this will be the wrap-up meeting and will be very interesting to hear how all the committees did, along with other information shared. Be there Monday, July 17th. at 7:30 at the Civic Center. We have a new City Auditor, Dena Guenthner of Max, as our long time City Auditor Pat Hannegrefs has retired to enjoy their grandchildren. Thankyou, Pat, for the wonderful job you have done. And welcome, Dena, to the position. "Appreciation is like an insurance policy. It has to be renewed every now and then." Dave McIntyre |
