A community of wonderful people is wishing Eddie Kempf a Happy 90th Birthday today, August 2nd. The family is having a card shower for him; P.O. Box #64, Max, North Dakota 58759-0064. I miss seeing Eddie walking with his little dog.

The last swimming session will be held on August 6-10. For those of you signed up, the bus will leave the school at 10:00 and return around 1:00 (actual lessons run from 10:45-12:15). Please be on time for dropping off and picking up. The cost is $36.50 per child (or if you are a Max Civic Club member, $18.25). Please be sure to send payment made out to the YMCA on Monday with your child or they may not be allowed to swim. If you have any questions, please call Lynae at 679-2505 or contact Amy Hauf the week during swimming lessons.

Last week Max Stolt enjoyed a nice visit with his granddaughter, Tyia Beskoon. Tyia lives in Nampa, Idaho and is the daughter of Jeff and Edie (Stolt) Beskoon. She had a great time attending the fair and visiting with her relatives. They are all looking forward to her next visit!

Do you like to collect things?  Here is your chance! The Max Senior Citizens and the Max Public School will collect the Box Tops for Education; Joyce Malling is in charge of these. Colleen Johnson is in charge of the collection of Our Family labels, including the UPC code. For each box top collected, the school receives 10 cents. The Our Family UPC codes help the school purchase playground equipment and music items for the music department in the Max school.

There are fliers up around town about 'Filling a Shoebox' so be sure to read one. These filled shoeboxes help the needy children get their school supplies.

The combines are rolling and so is the dust! Winter wheat harvest is fully underway in 80 and 90 degree temperatures. Don't overdo it!
