Last week, members of our Rotary club rolled up their sleeves and joined City of Urbandale, Iowa and the Urbandale Chamber of Commerce at their annual Urbandale Uplift event to help with projects at GiGi's Playhouse Des Moines.

It was a great opportunity to put Service Above Self into action and support an organization doing meaningful work and have a lot of fun doing it.

A big thank-you to Urbandale Uplift for organizing the opportunity and to everyone who came out to lend a hand!

Two weeks ago, members of the Rotary Club of West Polk County had the opportunity to visit Walk Your Plans - Des Moines for a tour of their unique space and a closer look at the work they do. A big thank you to James Machamer for the hospitality and taking the time to introduce us to the cool stuff happening at your business.

Walk Your Plans brings floor plans to life at full scale, giving homeowners, builders, designers, and others the chance to actually walk through a space before it’s built. It was fascinating to experience the concept firsthand and learn more about how this innovative approach is helping people visualize and make more confident decisions about their projects.
