Our roads are their business as is the upkeep of the community building. Going to have a reunion or party? You might like to have it in the Maxville Community Center. For information and reservations contact Dodie Carpenter at 385-8124. Trustee News The trustees have been busy replacing and installing new culverts. The following township roads have new culverts: 430E, 430W, 228, 190, 248, 386, and 250, two culverts on 131 and three culverts on 245. The township is waiting on the County to chip and seal. A crimson maple tree has been planted in the front yard of the Maxville Community Building. This was purchased with funds earned by events held at the building by Ramona Hicks. The improvements on the first grade room are near completion. For safety reasons, the room has been locked during renovations. Most of the work has been completed by members of the fire department. Some of the quilting ladies helped with painting the trim. The trustees would like to thank everyone who has helped on this project. At this time, the trustees are working on the purchase of land for the construction of a township building. The trustees and clerk wish everyone a safe and enjoyable summer!
In The News Thanks goes to everyone who attended the “Sing” in the community building held by Ramona Hicks on Sunday, July 17. It was a nice pleasurable evening. Watch the sign in front of the community building for the next “Sing” date and time coming in October. The Creek Valley Quilters have a number of items displayed at the Logan Art Gallery until August 8. The group is preparing three quilts to give to any who may fall victim of fire or other disaster. They would like it to be known that they would welcome any who are interested in the art of quilting. It makes no difference whether you are wanting to learn or are already into to it. In The News continued The Mission Group of the Ebenezer Baptist church has just returned from a two-week trip to Venezuela. Their mission, while there, was to work on a building project. Their experiences should be quite interesting. Our thanks goes out to the Old Straitsville Water Association (OSWA) for sending a repair crew quickly when a water line was found broken.
