Tomorrow, Friday the 22nd, is the Over 55 potluck at 6 p.m. at the Max Senior Center on Main Street. And the children taking karate have their training every Friday at 3:30 at the Civic Center.

The Sunnyslope Homemakers met at Wild Things Gallery in Minot for lunch last week. They ate outside - in a teepee! Yes, those teepees you see have tables and chairs in them. The owner came out to explain the drawings/paintings on the outside of these teepees, telling how it was their form of writing. For example, for Sitting Bull there is a drawing of a bull sitting!! This might be a place you'd like to check out. Besides the homemaker members, enjoying all this were Phyllis Narum's daughter Sandy and granddaughter Emily; Sherrie Ritchie, and Shirley Sizemore.

Reminder: Grandparents' Day Breakfast is Sunday, September 7th at the Civic Center. Serving will be from 9:30 to 12:30.

Many ladies gathered at Ethel Hauf's on Monday to wish Ethel a Happy Birthday. Any others 'putting the coffee pot on' for their birthdays are welcome to say so in the Max News the week before.

Nobody needs to 'head south' for warmer weather as Max and area are sporting temperatures in the 90's. The typical North Dakota winds are going to make their presence at about 30 mph on these hot days too. Then the weatherman says the temperatures will drop, almost 20 degrees in one day! Will he be right?
