Plans continue for the Max School Reunion to be held July 1-3, 2011. Co-chairs have been chosen for the event, but chairpersons are still needed for a number of committees including: registration and packets, Saturday banquet, entertainment, special rooms, fun run/walk, concessions, etc. Many of these committees have a sub-committee. Be sure to sign up on the alumni website if you can help in some area or to indicate your attendance plans. A parade is being planned for Saturday morning-each graduating class is being encouraged to have an entry. The next planning meeting is set for Sunday, November 15, at 2 p.m. in the School Commons. Mark your calendar to attend this meeting and provide your input and assistance in the planning for another successful event.
