Invested wisely by Centennial chairman Hugh Pear son, the fund grew to the point that the committee was able to donate $6,000 to the construction of the new Brussels, Morris and Grey arena in 1977; and $6,000 to the new Brussels swimming pool last May, as well as $4,000 to the community ball park the same summer.
