The Friends of the Pella Community Center recently held an open house to update residents about the progress being made toward potential, significant renovations to the historic facility.
Arvin and Pati Van Zante with the non-profit organization say private fundraising efforts are still underway for the Heart of Pella campaign as they work to secure donations and pledges to add to funding committed by the Pella City Council to make several needed updates.
Both say they are hopeful to launch a public campaign soon after the City of Pella has finished its budgeting process in April and the council makes a clearer commitment to how they intend to move forward with renovations.
Pella TV is airing a documentary this weekend sharing memories from those who have used the Pella Community Center over the years, whether in its current function or in its previous life as a school.
