Willmar Commercial Club pledges support for public rest room
At a Willmar Commercial Club meeting last night the group pledged to fund the public rest room for another year if the city appropriates 120 and other funds are secured. The Housekeeper’s club cannot contribute the 120, and last year the club donated 260. Over 700 visitors used the rest room in two months. A committee was formed to study the upcoming school building funding election and publish findings.
