Week-end activities in Max include a baby shower for Ivan Scott Lee, son of Heather and Scott Lee of Benedict. This will be held at Our Saviors Lutheran Church in Max this coming Saturday, June 19th, at 2:00. Everyone is welcome.

Sunday is Father's Day and also Max's Fourth Annual Summer Solstice. This will be held in the Max City Park, starting at 6 p.m. There will be a potluck, BBQ, picnic with meat, buns, plates, cups and utensils being provided.

The Max Library Partners will have a Board Meeting June 21st, Monday, at 7 p.m. at the Max Community Library. Any Max Library Partners may attend.

Friday, June 25th, the June potluck and meeting of the Max Senior Citizens will be held at their center on Main Street. The potluck begins at 6 p.m., with the meeting following. Everyone is welcome.

July 17th at 1 p.m. the first ever Demolition Derby will be held on the old Golf Course at Max.

The Max Alumni Association will hold their next meeting on Sunday, July 11th at 2 p.m. Tentative location will be the Max Civic Center. The group is still in need of people to help on committees and be chairpersons of committees. At the last meeting it was the consensus that if we do not get more people to attend the meetings and volunteer to assist with the activities, the event may be very streamlined. At this point, confirmed activities are Friday night Entertainment, a meal for Saturday night, Saturday parade and a booklet. If you can help, please let us know and we hope there will be more attending the next meeting. Kathy Huettl is one you may contact if you are interested in helping in any way. Her number is 679-2499. I'm sure you don't have to be a Max Alumnus to help out! You will enjoy that week-end of activities - help out now to make it the best ever!

Fourteen pelicans were seen recently on the west end of a slough that is adjacent to the trailer court. What a beautiful sight. In flight, their wing span is outstanding!

Sunnyslope Homemakers met last week at Linda Krueger's home in Minot. One of their adopted Grandma's recently passed away, Lucina Kabanuck, so they adopted Marge Scurlock of Garrison. Their other Grandma is Martha Rovenko of Minot. This type of adoption is wonderful and, actually, individuals could adopt Grandparents too. How wonderful for the 'Grandparents'.

On Sunday at the Douglas Senior Center there was a bridal shower for Shawna Fannik. She and Jesse Schroeder will be married August 14th. Shawna is Dennis and Karla Fannik's daughter.
