March 22, 2012


Correction: The baby shower for Jessica Semchenko's and Lance Zimmerman's baby girl will be held in the Max Senior Center, not the Civic Center, March 31st at 3 p.m.

Gerry Freed, 1954 Max High School graduate passed away in Minot on March 16th. Our sympathy to her family.

Where did the can go?  The Plunge contest is over as the can fell into the water on Sunday, March 18th. Winners and prizes will be announced in next week's Max News.

Tomorrow, March 23rd, the Max Senior Citizens Club members will be having their potluck at noon with special speakers at 1 p.m. The speakers are from the McLean County Commission on Aging and Disability Resource Link. They will be speaking about support services available in the homes and community for those with physical disabilities. The public is invited to this 1 o'clock meeting.

Today, March 22nd, all parents will be receiving a form regarding the Summer Rec program in Max.  The form and the fee are due by April 30th. Coaches are needed. Contact Sara Ruhland at 529-4858 or paulsara@rtc.coop.

A lot of big "thank yous" go out to the Max Volunteer Fire Department. With the very dry conditions, their work load has increased.  On this past Friday they were at two local fires at the same time, with some of their trucks at a house fire east of Benedict and the other trucks at a grass fire the train started just east of Max. Thank you!

With the house fire, the couple lost everything, including some pets. Please check LuAnn Tomlinson's Benedict News for hopefully more information on how we can help meet the needs of this young couple.  And please be extra careful with your bar-b-q's, your smoking, your burning trash in the rural areas, and with so many other 'accidental' ways a fire can be started.  Let's be safe and let's keep our firemen safe!
