FOUNDERS MESSAGE - Max International Virtual Office

Elementary School!
For those of you who weren’t able to join us at
Convention last September, we shared a slide
presentation about a Max International service project
at an elementary school in Salt Lake City.
Washington Elementary caters to some very special
children. They are bright and lovable but they have
a pretty significant challenge in their lives: they are
homeless.
Max owners, executives and employees spent part
of their day at the school weeding and cleaning a
neglected area of the school. Money was collected to
purchase shoes for the kids. At Convention, many of
you donated children’s books for these special kids.
Our goal was to ensure each child owned his or her
own book.
It is pretty touching that the children were so taken
with their bright red Max water bottles and Max pins,
not to mention new gardening gloves. Of course, they
totally loved the pizza and doughnuts. We wanted to
share their cute messages of thanks.
Talon sure liked the pizza and doughnuts. He drew
a lip-smacking face to illustrate how good the food
tasted. Katie drew a picture of the hill in back of the
school, before and after. She also hinted that some of
the weeds are coming back and wrote: “can’t wait till
U help us.”
Roman thought it was fun to pull weeds but even
more fun to see all the many bugs! He invited us to
“Please come agin.”
Mackenzie appreciated
the gloves and the clean
garden. Marissa said
the hill looks nice now
and Heather wanted
to know if we’d come
back. To Katie, Roman
and Heather, we will
visit you again!
Letter by ROMAN
Kevin and Devante used a computer, the most original
font and some pretty inventive spelling to express
their thanks. “We appreasheatse the cool stuff. You
shood come again.”
We have this message for the Washington Elementary
students: We will come back!
Love,
Max International
a special thanks A Big Thanks from Washington
