Greetings NW Des Moines Rotarians! Today’s speaker was Urbandale Mayor Bob Andeweg, who gave a presenta- tion on “The State of the City.” He began with a picture of the four “Uniquely Urbandale” sculptures at the intersection of Douglas Parkway and the 142nd Street round-about. This seemed appropriate, high-lighting the city’s forward- looking policies. The population of Urbandale has increased from 14,434 in 1970 to an estimated 42,800 in 2014. At the last census in 2010, Urbandale was Iowa’s 12th largest city. A special census is just being completed. The city has updated its Strategic Plan, Comprehensive Plan and Code of Ordinances in recent years.

It took Brad Helgemo researching and obtaining an International Service project for our club to sponsor. It took great leader- ship by past District Governor Diana Reed, our Helwege Integrity Award recipient. It took Ed Arnold's persistent quality leadership in fighting polio, and other leadership contri- butions. It took Jenifer Mercer-Klimowski"s constant help with the Nor’Wester and the Foundation along with other leadership con- tributions. This award took ALL of us and we should ALL be proud of this accomplishment. It has been a privilege to represent our great club. Enjoy the weather!

Polio Eradication This Week:
The third Outbreak Response Assessment in Madagascar found that the surveillance system is not yet strong enough to conclude that polio transmission has been interrupted. Thirty-nine high-risk districts have been identified to receive focused attention. There is one week to go until the globally synchronized switch from the trivalent to bivalent oral polio vaccine, the first stage of objective 2 of the Polio Eradication and Endgame Strategic Plan 2013-2018. Learn more about preparations for the switch here. Learn more about the rationale for the switch through this series of videos.

Foundation MinuteFor the week of April 11
A skeptic might ask: “How can Rotary be a real force for peace? It has no jurisdictional power. It is not a religion. It has no army of tanks, and it insists on being non-political.” Such a viewpoint looks at peace as something that can be ordered or militarily enforced, as if it is only the responsibility of governments. Rotary has always approached peacemaking systemically; it has sought to break down the barriers that cause people to point fingers at one another. By trying to understand people’s points of view and reaching across lines of race, religion, and culture to become partners in service to all humankind, tensions are reduced and friendships are increased. Humanitarian aid has been Rotary’s answer to hunger, sickness, illiteracy, and economic disaster – the seeds of conflict.
Your support of The Rotary Foundation will enable this to continue.
Thank you. (Submitted by Heidi Goldstein, Ithaca Rotary)
