One gumball at a time!

On Wednesday May 31, 2023, members of Centre Hastings Council received a generous donation towards the Madoc Pool. Local shop owner Angie Smith, from Oats & Honey Bulk Foods, has raised over $535.00 from her store’s gumball machine.

To put this in perspective, that is 2,140 gumballs!

Since day one when the community was made aware of the aging pool, Angie Smith, a former lifeguard at the Madoc Pool, has been incredibly motivated to fundraise. This is Angie’s second time donating since she began her fundraising journey in 2019. 

While in attendance Mayor Deline stated, “The pool donations held in our reserve account is sitting at $158,000, and this amount is continuously growing thanks to determined community members.”
