It is safe to say that most
Mount Prospect residents were thrilled to see the renovated Wal-Mart
store open in Mount Prospect Plaza in early August. For months
they had watched the construction and been curious to see the final
product.
But the Mount Prospect Chamber
and other local charities have special reason to be thrilled by the
recent opening.
In conjunction with the grand
opening, the Wal-Mart Foundation made a $1,000 donation to the Chamber’s
fund to create a brochure of all the non-profit organizations and contacts.
Checks were presented to several
other local entities as well, including the police department, fire
department, human services department and the Mount Prospect Lions Club
Charities. Wal-Mart donated a total of over $37,000 to these and other
organizations that are active in Mount Prospect.
“We are thankful that Wal-Mart
has chosen to re-introduce itself to the community in this manner,”
stated MP Chamber Executive Director Jim Uszler. “Their commitment
to our organization and the community of Mount Prospect is appreciated.”
