Bad weather and roads once again got in the way of Clean Up Day for Max. It has not been rescheduled but if you have things to take to the dump grounds, please contact the City Auditor's office at 679-2770 to make an appointment to have the gates opened.

The weather didn't get in the way of having a successful Older Americans' Day at the Max Over 55 Club building. Kyle's Greenhouse, with plants of all kinds, was set up inside the building, as they were last year, too. Much more comfortable shopping and the plants aren't competing with the wind. The bake goods sale was exceptional with table after table being removed once the goodies on each table were sold. The winners of the raffle drawings were: quilt to Karla Fannik; afghan to Ethel Boettcher; special books were won by Vicki Fure and Dellora Schmidt; the poinsettia doily was won by Nicole McElwain; the hand painted picture done by Ellie Lindquist was won by Kenneth Jungling; and the queen size bed sheet set was won by Annika Huesers. The door prize drawn went to Karen Berg.

The Sky Warning training held at the Max Civic Center on Tuesday evening had approximately 53 in attendance, according to KXMC's weatherman. Many from the surrounding towns attended.

Swimming lessons will be available again this summer. The first session runs June 7 - 11 and the second session August 2 - 6. The swimming lessons will be at the YMCA from 2:00 - 3:30 and the cost is $32.50 per child. Please call Lynae Schroeder at 679-2505 to register your child(ren). Space is limited as we will be using the mini bus, so call today to sign up!

Graduation time is upon us with Max's Kindergarten graduation being held at 10:00 a.m. on next Friday, May 21st. This is also the last day of school. Max's High School graduation ceremony will begin at 2:00 the following day, a Saturday, May 22nd.

Refer to the back of your free Community Calendar for information on the Summer Reading Program at the Max Community Library. It all begins June 3rd.
