President Jamie Soukup welcomed all members with a loud bang of the bell for our last November Rotary meeting. The first order of business was the induction of a new member Ted Honke. President Jamie did the honors by introducing Ted to the membership, reading him the induction proceedings, and presenting him with his official Rotary Plaque, flag, and pin. Honke was brought to the Wagner club by Rotarian Jeff Doom. Ted was born and raised in Wagner. He had lived for many years in Rapid City South Dakota and was highly active in the Jaycee organization. His residence now is in rural Wagner, and he was given a warm welcome of applause by the Wagner club.

The route change is to ensure that the new residents can enjoy the floats. It is exciting for everyone as it marks the first Christmas season for Wagner with the Good Sam residents back home. The general feeling of excitement for their return has been palpable for weeks, with many feeling like this is something of an early Christmas miracle. That feeling is understandable with the widespread closures of nursing homes across the state and the uncertainties that have surrounded the future of long-term care in Wagner over the past three years. The happy ending to the story of the November 8, 2022 Good Samaritan fire is coming to a close this holiday season with a parade to welcome our beloved community members home. We hope that everyone will come out to celebrate and take a moment to thank the members of the Sanford and Good Samaritan team for their work in making this parade of lights just a little brighter.
