Volunteer Appreciation Party 

Hey, MAX Volunteers! Celebrate getting your taxes done on time and join the MAX Board of Directors for our first volunteer appreciation party of the 1999-2000 MAX year. It will be an informal, old-fashion spaghetti party held at the home of Chairman Mark Sweeny on Saturday, April 15 from 3:00 to 7:00 PM. Mark's Mom is making homemade pasta sauce which was the specialty of his Nonni. If you have volunteered for a MAX event since October 1, your committee directors probably have already filled you in on the details. However, if you have not heard anything, give your Director a call. As a volunteer, you are very important to us and this is our way of saying thank you.
