The Pella Lions Club welcomed special guest speaker Bob Smith, Vice President and General Counsel at Vermeer Manufacturing, to their meeting this week at Monarch’s.

Following dinner, Smith gave a 45 minute presentation about the impact of the July tornado at Vermeer, as well as took questions from the Pella Lions and guests. He shared photos and video and walked the group through the last two months, starting on July 19th, when the EF-3 storm hit, through their progress today. About 40 were in attendance. The Pella Lions club meets the 1st and 3rd Tuesday evening each month at Monarch’s. Lions meet the needs of local communities through service.
