President Bryan Slaba brought the Wagner Rotary membership to order on October 13th. There was a full house, with many guests: Jeff Nohr, Program Speaker, Chris Nohr, Jeff’s wife, Paulette (Stogsdill) Ford, Jolene Link, and Ron Koupal.

Our program speaker had a lengthy program so the Membership Minute was dispensed with to save time. Jerry Weber, Sergeant at Arms was asked to levy his fines immediately: $2 to Bill Frei for bringing the rain and doing such an efficient job with the meals; Jamie Soukup for telling a bad story about an elk hunt $10; Jeff Doom $2 for picking on farmers at the last meeting; $3 to Kathe Henke for being such a good greeter to everyone; $2 to Bill Frei for taking so long with the food as it caused the SAA to lose 10 lbs. while waiting; $3 Happy Fine from Jerry Weber for Bryan Slaba letting Jordan help his Dad with Harvest; $5 from Rachel Woods who had Lasik surgery and can see so well now; $5 Happy Fine from Jerry Weber for everyone liking the coffee named after him at the Coffee House

Joe Stedronsky had yet another chance to draw the Queen of Hearts and this time got a ten of Hearts. Getting close Joe!

Football winners were Tom Beeson and Jerry Henke who were double winners. They won two Monday nights in a row. Tom Beeson’s ticket was sold by Jeff Doom and Jerry Henke sold himself two winning tickets.

President Slaba gave out more information on our duties for serving the Fellowship Feast this October. The menu will be BBQ pork loin donated by himself and mashed potatoes, green beans, coffee, and juice. He solicited five desserts from the members and received five volunteers. The serving begins at 5:30 on the 28th at the Methodist Church.

We had an excellent speaker for our program. Jeff Nohr, born in Wagner, South Dakota, and a resident until 1969 when the family moved away. He comes back to Wagner every year to visit relatives and considers Wagner his hometown.

Jeff had a four-hour presentation which was impossible to show during our weekly hourly meeting. He was active for 38 years in law enforcement and now is semi-retired. His career was spent on cold cases. He shortened his program to fit our time slot and concentrated on telling us about one cold case which was worked on for several years. The information was interesting, revealing, and at times gruesome. The cold case involved one individual who had murdered forty-eight women over the years.

Jeff promised to send us a bio on himself, and we will publish this information later.
