The Welcome Back From Iraq Community Party was a beautiful event! A large crowd enjoyed the great supper and the program. Marcee Narum was Master of Ceremony and had everyone laughing! Garrison's Legion Post #49 presented the colors. Wayne Johnson of Max gave the opening and closing prayers. Jodi Gullickson, Mayor of Max, gave the welcome speech. The guest speaker was Adj. General of North Dakota Army National Guard, Sprynczynatyk. Plaques were presented to the soldiers that were able to be present. Those were Adam Ritchie, Rachel Talbot Benson, Jeffrey Narum, Todd Stein, DiNell Polsfut, Ralph Yester, and Terry Sinner. The parents of those presently on duty in Iraq went forward to receive their sons' plaques. Those presently on duty are Kevin Moore, Grant Semchenko, and Aaron Zabka. Wayne Kabanuck sang following the program. A special Thankyou to everyone who made this possible.

Last week-end guests at Lila Fannik's were John and Alice Dvirnak and Elmer and Kay Dvirnak, all of Killdeer. LaVonne Fannik, Kenny Honcharoff, Lorna Sambor, Carolyn Barden, and Granddaughter Angele also visited.

Notice something different on Max's Main Street? The little building that once housed barbers and beauticians has been torn down to make way for an addition to the Schmidt Museum. Main Street is getting a new look!
