Word has been received that Larry Irwin passed away on March 27th. He had been sick with a lung infection and then went into kidney failure. Larry made the wooden train, spelling out Max Over 55 Club and many-many other items.  Our sympathy to his family and friends. The one who sent the note about Larry closed her notice with this reminder: "Life is indeed fragile and brief, be ready to leave it any moment."

Coming Soon: Max Produce Co-op Bountiful Baskets is a non-profit food co-op for families that want to have more fresh produce for less money. In order to participate, you must set up a free account on the website:
www.bountifulbaskets.org

The Co-op offers a conventional produce basket every other week which is generally 1/2 fruit and 1/2 veggies. The contribution is $15 per basket. The organic upgrade is $10 for a total of $25. The amount for add-ons varies depending on the item. The first-time basket fee is $3 and the processing fee is $1.50, which must be paid every time you contribute. Your entire contribution is spent on food, so the $1.50 is necessary to cover card processing, servers, and other expenses.
