September 1, 2011

Don't look now - but September has arrived, already! Again we blinked and summer passed us by. But we are very fortunate - we did not have to hurriedly move our belongings out of our homes nor do all the clean-up work the flood victims have had to do and are still doing. Volunteers are needed - groups - classes - individuals.

The Humane Society in Minot will have many more pets to adopt - go visit the pets - they love to be 'talked' to. I have read a request from the Humane Society that the workers would appreciate brownies, cookies, etc. to boost their energy and morale, as they take care of these pets - many who cannot return to their owners because of the flooding. Their building is located across the highway from Schatz's Truck stop.

The Max Community Library in the Civic Center on Main Street is open on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 10-12 and again from 1-5.

The Max Cafe is open seven days a week! Hours for Monday through Saturday are 7:30 a.m. - 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Sundays.

"Whether or not we realize it, each of us has within us the ability to set some kind of example for people. Knowing this, would you rather be the one known for being the one who encouraged others, or the one who inadvertently discouraged those around you?" - Josh Hinds
