A Max reunion update: Last October a post card was sent to Max High School alumni letting them know about the School Reunion being planned for July1-3, 2011. The content of that postcard is written below, and if you did not receive it but know that the committee may not have your current information, please respond at the web address given:

“To all alumni: You are receiving this email because we have an email on file for you, but we do not have a current valid address. Can you please send us an updated address so that we can keep you informed of the plans for the 2011 event? If you prefer, we will send updates for the reunion via email.

You can provide us address updates either by replying to this message, or access the Max Alumni website at http://www.maxnd.com/alumni.php.

Thank you for your assistance - Kathy Huettl and Heather Iverson Lee, Reunion Co-Chairs.”
