July 31st was a full and interesting day for five LWML ladies from Max when they took their yearly outing. Marian Schmidt, Idamae Hauf, Tammy Rae Hauf, Ethel Hauf, and Janice Kersten headed for Bottineau where they visited Ethel Hauf's daughter, Melinda Thorson, while she was at work at the Hallmark Store. They had a soup and sandwich lunch at the Shepherd's Hill at the Crossroads at St. John. This beautiful 'camp', located on a lake in the heart of the Turtle Mountains, is a 205 acre camp and retreat where you can have your family reunion, meetings and other events. Or you can enjoy it by yourself. For more information call 1-800-289-2992.

The ladies love flowers so they continued on to the Peace Gardens and then to the Mystical Horizons, a scaled-down 21st-century version of Stonehenge. Visitors may observe the summer and winter solstices on 6/21 or 22 and 12/21 or 22. And also observe the equinox on 9/21 or 22. For more information on this, call the Bottineau Area Chamber of Commerce at 701-228-3849.

A very special church on Highway 43, Bottineau, was an important place to visit. Janice Kersten's parents completely restored the antique organ to its original condition. Marian and Ethel enjoyed playing it! This is a beautiful little white church that holds weddings and other services. For more information on this, call 701-263-4352.
