There is optimism that it will get warmer in North Dakota! Read this important announcement. There are a few spots open for summer swimming lessons at the YMCA in Minot. It is for children ages 3-13. There will be a bus sponsored by Max Civic Club. Children entering second grade and younger must be accompanied by an adult to assist with dressing and undressing. Adults are welcome to ride the bus with their child as long as space is available. Dates have not been determined but we are hoping to have a June and an August session with the bus, and a June session where the parents drive. Prices and dates will be given once they are determined. To sign your child up, they can contact Holly Kersten (720-5135) or Lesli Talbott (240-7048).

This past Friday's Senior Citizens meeting covered many upcoming subjects, such as the Older American Day and if Kyle's flowers and plants could come. As the information is confirmed, it will be announced.

The Senior Citizens made a donation to the Grover family of Garrison to help with their medical and related expenses. Teresa (DeeDee) Grover works in Minot and while filling her car with gas, a drunk driver hit her, nearly severing her leg in the mishap. She is presently in a Rochester, Minnesota hospital. She has had many surgeries in an attempt to save her badly injured leg, with one of those surgeries lasting 11 hours. DeeDee used to deliver Meals on Wheels in Max. The Garrison State Bank & Trust is handling this account or you can also make donations online at youcaring.com.

On Palm Sunday, Lila Fannik served her family dinner in her home. Attending were the Fannik families, the Barden family, and Homer and Alvie Nesson, making it a total of 12.

On Monday a group of family and friends gathered at the Max Cafe to help Florene Knudtson of Douglas celebrate her birthday. She is officially a year older!!
